Mr. Basketball Nominations

I'm honored and humbled to vote for JaCobi Wood of Cleveland High School. I realize that people want to look at stats, but JaCobi brings so much more to the the table than just stats. For the sake of argument, let's look at JaCobi's stats and accolades.

  • 27 points per game.
  • 4.5 assists per game
  • 5.7 rebounds per game
  • Scored over 50 points twice this year.
  • 2X All District
  • 2X All Region
  • All State
  • Best of Preps first team
  • Led Cleveland High School to 1 ranking for first time in school history
  • Cleveland is currently 25-0
  • Belmont Signee

Those states and accolades are impressive. A lot of players can put up big numbers. To me, the defining question you have to ask is "Does he make everyone around him better?" JaCobi works hard to get the best out of not only himself, but also his teammates. He makes everyone around him better.   

Basketball only begins to define who JaCobi Wood is in life. He has had to endure the loss of his brother this past Summer. I have buried my sister recently. I understand the gut wrenching pain that JaCobi has had to deal with. Yet through that, his faith in Jesus Christ has grown stronger. He usually post scripture every day on his social media. I read it every day. I am humbled by his love for the Lord. I wish I was more like him.

The example he sets at Cleveland High School is amazing. He carries a 3.9 gpa. He also escorted a young lady to homecoming that has overcome unique limitations. She won the title of Homecoming Queen! Totally a selfless and humble act, by a truly classy young man. 

I could go on and on, but I'll leave my nomination on this post. JACOBI WOOD HANDS DOWN DESERVES THE AAA MR. BASKETBALL AWARD OF TENNESSEE!

My vote is Jacobi A Woods a.k.a JAWS. He is lazor focused and is a true blessing to anyone who meets or know him as family you meet mature young man. Being representative for the State would  be a Big signature to a second to none career. I ask the question why not? He has scored 50 or more twice this year, took his team to state as a junior, and has a 3.9 grade point avg. Put Hand down ! On my vote.

    • 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.
