H2O has gotten back into the pee wee football again this year. We agree on this it has been great for TC program as well it's like your getting a head start with a kid learning the game at a young age. 

I recently heard that, I think it’s a great move!

I know not many people would believe that having 3A enrollment hasn't helped Watertown, but its just the truth. Since Watertown's sudden explosion of winning seasons, they're have been at most 3 players that were from outside the Watertown area/ school zone. Only 1 of them being a significant role player. The real reason for the sudden success in the past 3-4 years has been that each class has stayed together since junior pro and bought in to making the program better. However with the student numbers growing and not many football players coming with that growth, Watertown will drop off eventually. Even with open zoning, many prospective players will go to Mt Juliet or Lebanon. And with a 5th public high school being built in Wilson County, it will only stretch the talent pool thinner. I just hope Watertown is able to stay competitive in the man years to come.

You’re 100% right, but unfortunately that fall off will be here sooner than later. This freshman class does not look very promising to me. 

 

They could of of course get better with time, but I just don’t see many good football players in this group. I hope I’m wrong!

Hoping for a few more years of these winning seasons but I do agree that drop off will come soon. Especially when we are put into 3 or possibly even 4A

    • 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.
