hey i have one question for you if cheerleaders are so smart did you pass ur permit test the first time you took it? I will not lie cheerleading is hard but as for teaching a person to throw a spiral in a day that might happen but not teaching them how to play football. it's a lot more complex than throwing a spiral. throwing a spiral is about equal to doing a toe touch and i can do both pretty easily.

Im not homosexual,Im a girl,and either way,its NOT a fair statement and you should be kicked off the board for it.Cheerleading has always been a popularity contest,and for those who dont veiw it that way,and who work their tails off really hard to be good at,and eat breath and sleep it like most athletes do,more power to ya.Ill agree,there is a stereotype for cheerleaders,but sometimes i think were better off without em,b/c in bball they can get in the way,and scream whenever a ball or ref comes within 10 feet of them.All im doin is statin my opinion,and to me,cheerleading is not a sport never has been never will be.and the competion thig.....dance,band and JROTC go to competetion,does this make them a sport?

basketball is not just about dribbling,Id like you to come to one of our basketball practices,for 2 hours,and run,10 in 1's,suicides,and do full court layup,4 min drill.......you WOULD not last,and youd also have to take a weight liftin class for an hour everyday 6th period,i dunno about football players,but i know theres more to it than just passing.consider what WE atheletes do,and what you,who CONSIDER yourself to be atheltes do.

Ok...I have cheered for 5 years so I know what I'm talkin bout...#1 the reason I cheer has NOTHING to do with popularity and friends, I do it cuz I love it which is the same reason you would play any sport #2 The whole thing about cheerleaders being dumb...2 words~straight A's #3 I know basketball and football are both very trying and you can't learn how to play in a day, but it has takin 5 years of hard work to get to where I want to be when it comes to tumbling, and I'm still working. :)

Well this is the last thing i am going to say on this subject. People can think whatever they want to think but i believe it is a sport. And to the quiz bowl guy get a life. and by the way you must not know much about tumbling because you can go ask any gymnastics coach if you can learn how to do a backhandspring and he will tell you no. I know bball is a diffcult sport b/c my brother plays college ball but all i was saying is most everyone can dribble a ball not many can tumle. but thanks again

Get a life? Uhh, yeah. I enjoy the one I have right now, actually. You don't know much about basketball, or reading comprehension, if you think I said it's easy to learn to tumble, or do a back handspring -- not that I had mentioned a back handspring at all, but I digress. I said it's as easy to learn how to tumble in a day as it is to learn how to throw a spiral in a day or to learn how to shoot a basketball in a day. Reading comprehension is a good thing. So are commas.

perhaps the most bogus comment i've ever heard . . . . schools give their cheerleading scholarships to football players because they could care less about cheerleading . . . and no, it isn't a sport, it is a popularity thing, and i'd like to see some cheerleaders throw a football 60 yards, shoot a basketball and make it consistently, dunk a basketball . . . . the athletes who play basketball in the NBA are the best athletes in the world . . . cory meggate did a flip in a dunk contest then dunked the ball, i'm sure no one taught him how to do it either, he just did it

well. . .just to let you all know, I have been cheerleading for 6 years now. I have never had anything below an A on my report card. I just got inducted in to BETA Club. I am President of my class, Captain of our FCA, number 3 in my class, and guess what, quiz bowl guy, i was in quiz bowl in middle school, and i would be in high school, but our school doesn't have a team, so don't even go there. O yeah, one more thing, i can throw a spiral 60 yards.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
