Cool your jets. I've known many of these kids and to be fair they haven't had as much success as the classes ahead or behind them. They've come a long way since getting blanked by Alcoa a few years back in 8th grade. Things can change and like I said I'm happy they worked hard to get there.

Nothing to cool pal. Just sticking up for the kids that have worked their butts off.  There have been several classes that have gotten beat by alcoa in the 8th grade. Attribute about 50% to coaching and 50% to young boys. Many times they arwnt in the right positions.  But to say that there are only 2 skill players in this class is ridiculous.  I could name at least 6 right off hand. I have know most of them since they were lil Rebs.

Yes they do play with a chip on their shoulder. That is all we have heard about them from everyone else out there. But as a parent of 2 of those " weak sophomores" I say get ready because these sophs are gonna take some names. Many of them are going to be playing alot this season.  And btw , there are more than just 2 skill players.

I went to see them play against Heritage last year and they looked good to me. A lot changes between the junior high and high school so that has never crossed my mind about wins and loses. I could give you an all county team the past 15 years from the junior high and it would look more like a help find this kid poster than an all star team. I could name fifty kids that didn't get a nickel's worth of playing time at the junior high and became some of the all time greats at the high school.  Kelby Brock who is playing for Mercer and Carl Stewart who started at Auburn would be just some of the names that comes to mind right off bat. The only thing I have ever had a concern about is all the sudden the players out dipped into the thirties and the way attrition usually works it would show up in the numbers at the high school. This has been going on the past three years on the 9th grade team but the attrition level has not been as high meaning as you coined it, the Bus riders and steak eaters have moved on out to pasture a lot earlier than in the past.

OR will be 2-2 at best after the first four games just like last year...BUT if they lose to HVA, it will be 1-3. Why, why, WHY does Gaddis FRONT LOAD the schedule with teams like HVA, DB, and Farragut??????????????????????

That is NOT a smart philosophy Gaddis! You need to wise up Gaddis! I will NEVER understand that line of thinking!!!!!!!

Will SOMEONE please explain this to me?

No, someone CANNOT explain this to me because it's INEXPLICABLE!!!!!!!

FRUSTRATED.......

    • 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.
