Wow single handily got them to the semifinals, Joe was a great player not taking anything away from him but that team was good as a whole and had a really good defense, you can’t give any 1 kid all the credit. 

Joe was a very humble young man and never took the limelight! He was able to do what he did because of the 10 guys on the field with him. 

 With that being said, he was a leader that when he broke a big play or made an interception, the team feed off of him! That’s not taking anything away from his teammates either! He wouldn’t of rushed over a 1000 yards with the holes being there to run through! Martin was a great Qb, Yell was a great lineman...I could go on and on about them. Just don’t downplay his ability or leadership! 

 The year after he graduated showed just how much of an impact he had on that team!

I only remember him that season. When did he transfer?

Really now, come on! Are you new to MC? He came to Jasper in the 8th grade! 

He made an impact in baseball and football! Should have in basketball but that’s another story...

He played his freshman year for Dale Puritt and then the next coach just well, I’ll be nice and keep that comment to myself, let’s say underutilized him for two yrs. When Troy took over he actually used him as he should have! 

As far as baseball, go look in the trophy case at MCHS..do believe two years in a row they broke the most win record and took region I think 3 yrs in a row! 

Thats the past though, Joe serves in the United States Air Force now. He’s been serving for I believe 6 yrs and is living in Virginia.

Was just catching up on here and my apologies for first couple posts. Rubbed me the wrong way I guess. 

 As for the upcoming game, I look for SP to get the win but I think it’s going to be a battle! Yes we have some injuries but I think the backups will do just fine! May take us a qtr to get going but at the end of the night the Pirates get the W!

Just trying to prove a point to someone. I knew when he came. He was around some kids my daughter was friends with a lot.

Are you sure ? 

I didn’t mean no one could beat them. I believe they are a top 4 team in 2A. I don’t think anyone will stop him. Good teams can slow him down, but not totally STOP him. You might beat them by 3-4 scores, but he’s going to get his even in a loss. That’s what I was trying to say.

    • 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.
