Truth starting to rear its head!

Is there another source?

The only ones I see reporting this are Breitbart and Alex Jones. And both of those have as much credibility as a sack of dead crickets.

Good news for players and kids alike.

“It doesn’t mean that everything that is included in the previous executive order is extended to Aug. 31.”

This is great news but what does everyone think is going to happen when kids start testing positive on a football team. Are they going to quarantine the entire team for 14 days.  Kids are going to get it, coaches are going to get it, and teachers are going to get it and the whole thing could shut down before it even gets started when you have the first death. I hate to be negative Nancy here but that is the hysteria tied to this pandemic.

Would mean the same about the whole school not just football? I mean the same kid will pass by every kid in the halls and classrooms not just the kids at practice or games. School would be a non issue as Zoom would allow them to continue online classes given the need. Now do you shut down your teams football and wait 2 weeks is another story. I dont think you can have a Football season like that. We will find out soon enough as some kind of guidelines on this very subject should surface soon if it hasnt already. If I were to guess you would quarantine the infected and ramp up temp checks and make known every symptom of the virus as to self diagnose and quarantine until a test is done. If one positive test puts a team or school down initially then I'm afraid the effort of football might be in vain. Again just my opinion.

Results from a test can come back in as little as 3 days. However if one of your best players misses on a Friday it could mean the difference of making the playoffs or not this year. If we go with 32 teams you could lose a few games and have a lower seed in the playoffs if we go the 9 team and only #1 seed that could mean the end of your playoffs that year.

Tests in middle TN are taking 9-10 days to come back. You can pay extra and get it back in the 3-4 day range. The players fall into the age group that rarely have serious symptoms. 9/10 will have no idea they are positive or only have cold/ allergy symptoms. There is a long discussion on the 5A/6A forum with dueling medical studies debating whether this age group even spreads the disease. Germany has done extensive testing on school age kids and the results are positive for reopening and getting back to normal.

    • 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.
