Yeah i was just busting their beach balls earlier but after listening to that they are LOCKED AND LOADED!They will have to just plain choke to lose to a 1A team.Again shows what kind of coaching and tradition you all have to get 60 young men to come out for football with 250 or so students!

Out of 127 or so boys in school, 60 came (and have so far stayed) out for football. Nearly half, that's pretty awesome.

The Answer? 

What is contained in Article II section 15?

Section 15. Foreign-Exchange Programs. 

 
A foreign exchange student is an international student who attends high school in the U.S. To be eligible for interscholastic athletics in the U.S., such student must be under the auspices of and be placed with a U.S. host family by an international student exchange program that has been accepted for listing by the Council on Standards for International Education Travel (CSIET) and be recognized by the U.S. Department of State. The foreign exchange program must assign students to host families by a method that ensures that no student, or his/her parents, school or other interested party may influence the assignment for athletic or other purposes. The foreign exchange student may not be selected or placed on any basis related to his/her athletic interests or abilities.
 
 A foreign exchange student is considered to be placed with a host family when written notice of placement is provided by the exchange organization to the student and his/her parents, and to the host family.
 
 Neither the school the student attends nor any person associated with the school shall have input into the selection of the student. 
 
 No member of the school's coaching staff, paid or voluntary, shall serve as the host family. 
 
The foreign exchange student must possess a current J-1 visa, issued by the U.S. State Department. The foreign exchange student must comply with all eligibility requirements, with the exception of Article II, Section 11 (Residence). 
 
The foreign exchange student may participate a maximum of one school year. If the student decides to stay beyond the year in which they participate, then Article II, Section 11 (Residence) will be applied at the beginning of the next school year.
 
 
  Students Changing Schools
 
 Section 11. General Provisions.
 
 Residence.
 
 A student changing schools for any reason, to be eligible, must live at home with his/her parent(s) or guardian(s), unless: 
 
(a) the student is moving to a boarding school and has no athletic record the previous twelve months in any sport; 
 
(b) the student is moving as a direct result of the dissolution of the student's home due to death; 
 
(c) the student is moving as a direct result of the divorce of the student's parents; or 
 
(d) the student is moving as a direct result of the separation of the student's parents, provided a complaint or petition for absolute divorce has been filed with a court having jurisdiction to grant the divorce.

But every time I have mentioned to Bass that you guys have 60 out for football he has called me out for supposedly making it up. SMH.....

Honestly, Bass is correct in his saying that we normally have 38-42. 48 is a huge class. Usually by now we have a bunch drop out to bring us down to the low 40s. This year has just been different.

    • 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.
