when you have 2A trezevant get clipped for cheating after two state titles, i mean is it really mysterious why they aren't respected? 

 

Not to mention when they took the loss at state to Greeneville they decided to go out and cut tires in the parking lot

Name ten better than Henry county, Dyersburg, Covington, or Haywood 

First of all I agree with you. But for the fun of it I am going to try and name as many teams as I can that could beat the three above. Not that they are better but could beat the three above. Germantown, Lausanne, Whitehaven, MUS, Christian Brothers, maybe Houston..... maybe. I am struggling for more. 

 

I had had to edit to say I don’t think Haywood should be included. But the other 3 definitely should.

Whitehaven, Memphis Central, Kirby, Germantown, CBHS, MUS, Lausanne,Cordova,Houston, Briarcrest

Nope throw Kirby out. This year for them and that’s it. Normal Kirby no. Houston no. Cordova is not even there now. Whitehaven yes. Germantown ehh this year and last year. Memphis central is hit and miss. Privates throw them out. Don’t hang your hat on them as the Memphis teams people are talking about in this thread. The point was stereotyped undisciplined but good athletes.  So leave the privates out of the 10 you are looking for

Not to mention Olive Branch, Horn Lake, Southaven right outside of Memphis that also recruit in Memphis heavily

Recruit????  That is illegal.  And that is Mississippi also. Stop trying to hedge the bet

I don’t think Briarcrest, Kirby or Cordova could beat any of the 3. I didn’t include the Mississippi teams because they are in another state but they might be able to do something. Haven’t really kept up with them this season.

Are we talking about all time or just this year.  Private schools have to be included because these teams recruit heavily in the city.  Which is a big reason why all of the smailler teams are not as good.  Kirby is legit, they have been building something special under Coach Flowers

I graduated From Kirby. They may be legit now but that is it. Which do you want to push all time or this year ?   I can Talk about either. Plus when you talk about the thread of stereotype that is a perception of more than one year body of work.  And no to the privates. Again what stereotype are you talking about. Undisciplined ball which are the public’s or the recruiting side which is the privates. And the smaller public’s are not weak because of the privates. You have major heavy hitters in the public’s that pull those kids. Just look at basketball if you want throw something else in the mix. Trezvant was cheating got busted and kids went to the next public program they felt that they could win at. Fairley is the only one now that can compete.

    • 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.
