Sorta like Dburg and Dyer County do to poor LC...Maybe yall should be giving out jobs to Dairy Queen...:D

We do pretty good with what we have. Home grown talent. We don't have the resources like Titan Tire etc to get a player from Ohio like UC did with Parker and get players from South Fulton, Westview etc.Lake Co is loaded with a bunch of sophomores and a lot of talent at the middle school .So we don't have to go out and recruit .Feels  better when we play and win with what we have instead of hiring someone

I'm pretty sure Parker came when his dad got hired as an assistant, now the head, coach at UTM.

I know he did.But he didn't go to school at westview for some reason.

Because when you have a kid that can hoop people ask around about the best place for them to go. Everyone is going to say UC over Martin.

There was a kid in the late 90's named Eric Bachelor that played for Westview. His mother magically got a job in Martin when they moved to the area. Jason Harrell drove from Martin to Obion Central to play ball. It happens in that area a lot. 

LC kids don't move in and out often because there is nothing to move in and out for. Same for other places like Greenfield, Gleason, Dresden, Humboldt, etc...

That's a hard thing to find now days! The top teams we've faced in football and basketball playoffs are not "home grown" teams. More and more of the small, rural schools are drawing talent these days too.

At Hampton, to get "stud" transfers means we have to line up jobs beforehand....But it's been difficult to do as McDonald's and Subway here are fully staffed ;)

Sonic??? Man you all are big time! Ever so often a kid will come here because their dad or some family member played here back in the day...But we mainly do with what we have.

I do remember playing LC at the boro in '11, the players could play and that lady coach could coach!

Some good LC talent has gone to Dyersburg and Dyer County...

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
