Croz, look how many years Pickett County manned up with 11 total players and 2 of them girls and played TC, FC,  Watertown, and Gordy.

One year they even had a woman coach. They play on a baseball field. You don't hear them on here bellyaching about young players or low numbers do you? 

Plus they HAD to play Goodpasture, Nashville Christian ( when they had 4 D1 players)  2 years inside our region. Did anyone care about them? So pipe down. 

Brittany Garner was the best looking Coach I've interviewed on the Friday Main Event..... (wait a minute, maybe that was Vic Grider)......;)

No it is not just Butt hurt feelings. I am Sure the boys feelings could grow from a butt kicking and make them better later on. The issue I see Is safety. For 13 and 14 year olds facing 18 year old is a huge difference in size and strength. And not to mention that they have to move up a level with the multiplier is another big jump. The public’s don’t want the privates with them. But now let’s complain because a school is doing it for the safety of their kids and now the public’s want to gripe because they are in a contract for a butt kicking from the public’s. Classic!!!

I was a 13 year old freshman playing against 18 and some 19 yr olds in what would now be 6A division. I survived. Really sounds like adults teaching kids to  run from competition when you should be teaching them life's not fair and you still have to overcome obstacles.

Yes I guess That’s what you are teaching the kids. Let’s cry because the privates are with the public’s. It’s unfair advantage. Please. Man go back to sleep. Wake up when you start crying about open enrollment schools have an advantage and then there are 12 Golden balls. I played When it was total of 3 divisions so go preach somewhere else that life is not fair. Maybe you bumped your head a little to much in 6a. So again, who is running from completion.

There was only 3 divisions when I was in HS as well, I meant that the school would be considered 6A now.  As far as my statement, from the information presented, it does appear that the school in question is running from competition during a down cycle of talent. In doing so are not honoring their agreement with other schools and putting them in a difficult situation for scheduling games at the last minute.

Is this incorrect?

    • 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.
    • 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.
