Same listening to it makes me wish we had something like this!

Im thinking of trying my hand at something for us like this. If we want to achieve greatness you have to go above and beyond. As you read on the other thread. Having success starts in flag football leagues these days. Parents and kids have to sacrifice much to compete with folks like TC and water towns and even more to compete with the alcoas and maryvilles. They plan from junior pro. They hold kids back till they graduate at 19. They allow open enrollment if you pay the money. They hire football coaches for DOS that will......well do anything to win. LOL thats just facts GBO. If you know me Im that crazy about westmoreland football but few are these days. On a side note the Westmoreland alum is doing a great job as head coach at Forrest. He will have the enthusiasm to build that place to higher levels. Hes an Ole school eagle.

trousdale is living on the past accomplishments.  they havent won a gold ball in 6 years. everyone acts like they are the standard in 2A. Theyve lost to watertown Twice int he last 2 years. the same about that forrest lost to them in 4 years. 

this year they struggled with friendship christian and lost to watertown again. their fans are all over still talking crap. they think they are alabama. so yeah i make fun of that.  

Man you sure are a different person when your team is winning, tell the rockets to come on up to the creekbank if they think they are in the big boys of 2A.

There are many variables that go into it that is for sure. There are many reasons that are demographic and really they can't be controlled by the schools.

I read an article not long ago talking about how income makes a big difference in high school sports. They said that in studies they shown that in high school football the teams that were from areas with above average income won almost 90% of the time against teams that were from below average income areas. For a multitude of reasons including funding, equipment, facilities, parental involvement etc.

Then you have the makeup of the community. Is your area a place where people own or do they rent? In areas where you have more people renting it is often reflected in their sports programs. Because kids are coming and going and not building any attachments to the area.

    • 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.
