Just hope we compete! To early to be putting pressure on the 2017 team, a lot of holes to fill but the future does look bright, We have a huge freshman class coming up 27 from what I have heard and finally some size, Teams like GB have always given us problems but when you have athletes combined with size it's a deadly combination at the 1A level. If we can keep this coaching staff intact and with Our present strength Coach working with our youngsters it's going to be fun watching this unfold!

I somewhat agree with what your saying but at the same time you have to look at it like this. We got beat this year by GB and it wouldn't have mattered if we played Tyner or other high caliber teams because we simply didn't have the players to compete through a brutal schedule like that. It's good for the fans to watch those type of games but bad on the players health at a 1A school with low numbers. I do agree to having about 3 tough games in the regular season. This year we only had 2 so it was okay. We just don't need to be playing the sale creeks every week to prepare for the playoffs.

Tyner is very similar to us. I think it would be a good game to schedule.

No one from our staff should be going anywhere.

It don't matter that their numbers are low. I bet most kids on that roster are better than a lot of other teams starters. As long as coach grider stays put South Pitt will always compete with the top teams in the state in most divisions.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
