Any word on So. Fulton, Humboldt, West Carroll,  Greenfield or Gleason?  I know So. Fulton is usually competitive.  Humboldt will have athletes.  Just depends on if they can put it together.  Greenfield usually struggles and Lampkins will get the most out of what he has to work with. Not a word as be spoken of these schools and the season is around the corner. 

Greenfield has a new coach I do believe. Kid straight out of college from Bethel.

Woah I wonder what happened to Don Pitt. 

 

Any idea of the new coaches name?

Don't know. They had an opening for a sped job over there and my wife applied. She did not get the job. She was told by the principal that although she was better qualified for the job he had to fill the football coach position as well and that was the only teaching position available. Some kid from Bethel that had a sped certification got it. And I remember reading  something in the Jackson Sun a few days later about Greenfield getting a new coach.

Not sure on football but I do remember going to state basketball tourney in 84-85 ish when Greenfield won it  (I think). Even if they didn't win they were a heck of a basketball team. 

They did win state in BB around the time you mentioned. But they had a good football team in '86 as well.

Yeah they did have a pretty good team in 86. They were 8 and 0 and rolled in to Tiptonville and lost to the falcons 13 to 6. The falcons finished 6 and 5 that season.  The falcons won it all in 85.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
