I was told by my son who was at the meeting of present and former players called by Coach Puckett that he asked for a raise and was refused by the administration. I don't know what he was asking for but I would bet my life that the Citizens of Lake County would have made donations to assemble the amount he was requesting. I know I would have.

Oh there were discussions alright. LC had more than enough chance to keep him. They dropped the ball. But at least you’ve got a brand new gym floor....

There might have been a dollar figure to keep him around, but I doubt it would have been reasonable. He was on his way out while his stock was high. I'm sure he tried to leverage and see if he could get more money, but realistically I think he was already out the door. It wasn't a questions of if, but when.

Quite surprised to hear this. Coach Puckett making the leap from 1A to 5A is a big move and taking over a very talented Shelbyville squad. I haven't seen them play much, but they are good. Shelbyville has been more of a spread offense as of late if I remember correctly. Congrats to him on the move, condolences to the LC fans. With the talent still on the team, should be able to find a good coach.

    • 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.
