Read the whole article that Stephen Hargis had written. Not playing Redbank and Jasper he said cost his program $40,000 dollars. That's a substantial hit. Given what I read if it is accurate, It seems the staff at SP made every accommodation to try and play the game. When Marion was willing to play in 3 days due to a weather related issue but not play now with the same 3 days on a Saturday that's a really bad look. None of my business but the facts seem to be in order.

I am confused. I read in a Hamilton County newspaper that said  Marion County was doing everything in their power to reschedule the game with South Pittsburg. Is this not true?. I cannot imagine an administration not trying to play one of the greatest high school rivalries in Tennessee. I don't remember the papers name. I read alot of different sports papers on line.

No, he made a comment that if we both had open dates at any other time in the season he would entertain that option to play.  To play Sequatchie with just 3 days practice but not us is cowardly.  Plus they already practiced all last week to prepare for us.  PLUS, most teams only practice in pads 1-2 days, then the rest is in shorts and helmet doing walkthroughs.  I know we hardly practice in pads anymore, definitely 1 day but sometimes 2 depending on how hard the kids practice and how much effort they put into it.  It’s ridiculous and IMO it’s a means to something bigger down the road.  There’s more to it.  Gotta be.

Keep checking on here to see if things have changed and it seems to just get worse. When I say it breaks my heart it really does because this rivalry is something to be truly proud of and I grew up a lot being in it myself as many of us have. Da shame that an outsider caused this cause he thinks he's something because of who his son is. What really bothers me more is the Jasper community allowed it to happen. Hard to watch my language because I'd really have more I'd like to say. As always great day to be a Pirate. Let's go get a gold ball and leave these neighbors in our rearview

    • 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.
