They should play Waverly on Saturday 9/16 if they are still seeking a game.

Saturday? I have never known of South Pittsburg to play games on Saturday. The teams here in the Valley play little league games on Saturday afternoons and nights. That wouldn't be good for our community. It would force parents and supporters to make a choice. A 3 hour bus ride one time for each team doesn't seem like it would be a big deal.

Every community's little league program plays football on Saturdays. It's not just an SP thing. That has never stopped others from playing on Saturday if the situation called for it. It's not a preference and I get that. It is a solution for a team that has a problem with finding a tenth game. It's also against a quality opposition.

Another solution and better option is a home and home series.

I don't post much but here is the deal on this one. The deal is on the table. @SP in 2017 and @Waverly in 2018. SP told Waverly they would come play at whatever time they wanted to play in 2018. SP also told them they would play this year's game at 7:30 or 8:00 cst if they needed too to help out Waverly due to bussing. This would give each team 5 home games the next two seasons. You're right about little league. That would be a bad situation for parents that have a kid playing in both. I hope that Saturday stuff doesn't happen. That would be awful.

so I take it discussions are ongoing between SP and Waverly.  Is SP playing Goodpasture?  If so, where and when.

Correct. If I'm not mistaken we haven't really scheduled spring scrimmages the past few yrs. We do the practice under the lights on May 12th. Been pretty popular the past few yrs too.

What kind of mess is this? I garuntee you aint scheduled a spring training game cause that Childress man has had you Jasperlites on probation. If he finds out you had a game when that Mathis man or the SOS was supposed to be on probation he will be real mad. You think im joking but im not.

Are you joking? I garuntee you the SEC boys play on Saturday not high school boys. Grider better not schedule our boys on Saturday. This is a bunch of mess. You think im joking but im not.

    • 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.
