Our public schools are a form of socialism. Do your students go to a private school? Misinformation about politics has no place on here.

Misinformation about politics? Where did you get that from? 

Sounds like you are just looking for an argument. Yeah, I can tell our public schools are doing so well ( I am a teacher in case you are wondering- 24 years). That form of 'socialism" seems to be working so well. Tell you what, ask some teachers how to fix the problems and get back to me. 

Nimrods don't deserve time on here so please quit the sh!t show.

No, you're not. That's why I said for no other reason...

BTW, I've noticed that SP has done pretty well this roundball season... footballers participating?

A lot of our guys were/are on the football team.   I guess we had a decent year but in no way did we resemble a team that could settle down and play a half court game.  If I had to choose one word to describe our style of play it would be chaotic.   Sandlot would be a good word as well.  Harsh but true.

You can’t ever tell who will be playing for Hardy from year to year. Sometimes week to week. It’s a very small public school in South Pittsburg, in its own school system. Last year they had 2 new players in from Canada at the start of the season, both about 6’7” and they played Howard to 95-93. Somehow they weren’t able to continue at Hardy and things dropped off badly. A couple of weeks after that Howard beat them something like 110-30. 

As referenced above, there were a couple of transfers a couple a years ago that were legit by the book transfers.  Yes, the basketball team benefited.  They were very good two years ago and could have possibly went further but the sickness bug hit at the wrong time and with no depth that was it.  Last year there were foreign exchange students played a couple of games but, the school found something wrong with paperwork and had to not let them play anymore.   Yes, I am on here from time to time and yes I am involved with the baseball team at the school (my son plays).  On side note, the baseball team is going to be pretty good but, word must have got out.  We contacted all three other schools in Marion County and only Whitwell returned our call and was willing to play us.  The other two never returned our call.

I want to commend the young men from Hardy Memorial. They played hard all night. There was no quit in them even though they were outmanned at every position. I was definitely impressed!  Having said that Clay County was just too strong tonight. Speaking of strong, Grant Strong is now the best player in District 6A and should be a Mr Basketball finalist for next year.  He still has improving to do but the young man can flat out play.  

Thank you for the compliment.  My son plays and I was proud of them.  My son and another boy are freshman and were starters.  They had a junior and a 8th grader that started most of the season.  One senior #30.  The one that can shoot the lights out.  #30 told the rest of the team at halftime after he got 15 points that he wanted the others to shoot so he passed the ball off a lot more.  He had been the main scorer all season he said he had his time and the game was out of reach.  I commend him for that.

That speaks volumes about that young mans character and he absolutely could shoot the ball I was very impressed.  Those young men are winners make no mistake about it, and I wish them all the best!

    • 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.
