Let’s not forget the consolidation of HS’s in Clay Co. Hermitage Springs never dominated anyone but they always had a couple of solid players. Clay Co High has definitely benefited in athletics partly because of getting all those kids at 1 school. Especially the boys team...And yes, talent comes &  goes in cycles, especially at small schools

Jackson County is still twice the size of Clay County even with Hermitage Springs joining them.  Clay County has embraced the AAU program at the grade school level which has made a huge difference. Does anyone know if JC or LA has an AAU program for their grade schoolers/middle schoolers and or high schoolers?

Livingston players play on TN Rush and new team called Legends.

Wasn’t Levy from Overton county? Maybe if Livingston had her they would have had better outcomes.

Everyone knows why Jackson was so good for so long and now those players are going to Upperman.

 

Maybe the latter years...but the 4 strait in AA from 00 to 03 was all home grown players.  After that I know of another championship. The last one we won over Union City was only one move in who didn’t even start.  It wasn’t the only reason Jackson County was successful.

It's just the culture. I'll probably take crap for it, but it's not coaching at LA. 

It's a sense of entitlement and thinking that just because they're Livingston Academy that people will lay down. 

They don't put the work in in the off season while neighboring counties do. But that's also at the middle school levels, too. In the good times at LA, the kids worked hard and didn't have to be taught the basics. 

There are very good coaches at the middle school programs up here, but they need more than a month of practice to get for a season.

Clay County lost to very average Eagleville team.  The Pickett County team from last year was way better than Clay County or Clarkrange.

Dekalb will be strong, Jackson will be weak, LA will be average 

Yes. Jackson co is a couple years of away.

 

i was also surprised Clay lost that game.  I’ve seen it happen before, where a really good team gets beat on another teams home floor at substate.  It’s just a magical atmosphere. (Hosting substate)

Looks as if Eagleville is earning it today.

    • 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.
