My 2 cents for what its worth: we've not had a coaching staff since the 91 season. Vic has been at the top of the 1a class for years plus all the athletes in SP. I don't think this year is much different other than we got a good staff put together and the kids have bought in. Its not that Whitwell kids are great, but they have played together since pee wee (wolf pack). That doesn't happen much in Whitwell, and I think that's the difference.

Not kidding lol

This Whitwell team is very, very talented.

Agree, this is the best team Whitwell has had in 25 yrs. Those kids are not Super Stars. They have a smart coach and that makes them look good. My guess is SP has more athletes on the field JUST younger. Good coaching makes good performance

LMBO... this is funny. For the first time in 30 years. Whitwell has more athletes than SP.

Because we needed them up here and your coach let us borrow them so we could be coalfield!! He said that you wouldn't need them this week against whit-wuhl!!!

Greenback has the best RB in 1A. They don't need ours. That much is certain. I'm telling you boys... Whitwell has about 5-6 players that are about as athletic as they come. We're in for a four quarter war on Friday night.

Whitwell has some great athletes in their jr and sr class.  Coaching has a part in it, but there is no discounting that this team and their players, the best whitwell have had in 20+ years collectively.

D60 what kind of mess is this? I looked in my Murphy Fair book and then Whitwell boys made it to the semifinals in 1991.  They got beat by Franklin road academy 24-7.  That was the year they had that holtcamp boy.  Now he is that holtcamp man.  You think im joking but im not. 

I wanna say they got beat 8-6 that night, may have to pull the murphy fair out to see.

I think ya'll benefited from a good coach the last couple of years and the new coach is good and was able to build on that success. 

A lot of us here in Whitwell feel like we finally have a good staff now. Last couple coaches, Helton and Malone were not well liked. Many felt like Malone didn't buy in and was lazy, knew he was only going to be here a short time period. He wasn't good for the program. Helton was a nut case. The guy never punted, NEVER! Many feel we finally have a staff that can coach. They have made good adjustments all year. We just hope we can keep all of them around. A lot of young coaching talent on staff.

    • 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.
