Just an awfultalent pool for a school that size. All sports are that way. It’s a shame honestly. Four years ago they almost were classified to go tripleA (in the sports other than football). That would’ve been a death sentence. 

Grew up there, and graduated from there. It's not so much the talent pool as it is the schools and communitys desire to make football a priority. No one in the town with a voice or with the ability to make change has any desire to make it better. Trust me on that.

I trust you. Maybe I was a bit harsh in what I said. But to be one of the largest schools in their classification (in all sports) and to be a doormat isn’t the best look.

Nah bud, it's easy to think that considering their record at football for the last 20 years. Alot of schools have the same problem. Cumberland Gap is probably one of those schools just to mention one you may be familiar with . Its bigger than Meigs slightly by comparison but I've never known them to have a good team. Some communities and schools are just O.K with being mediocre or less honestly. The problem with that is the kids are the ones that suffer. My nephew is a freshman and rides the bench there at Sequoyah now. My sister recently asked me why Sequoyah is the way it is. I Told her the same thing I posted here. She had taken her son to some of our games at Meigs in 2018 to watch my kids play and he was hooked at how the crowd was and how the games went for us. She didnt and couldn't understand why it was different at Sequoyah when he made it to High School this year. It's been a big let down for them. This is Sequoyahs coaches 2nd year and he had some great coaches to learn from from what I've read. Phil Fulmer being one of them if I'm not mistaken it's been a while. ( my statement may not be fully accurate) but it was something along those lines. Anyhow turning something like Sequoyah around would take an intervention from alot more people than what are interested in doing so. Coaches need dedicated help also.

    • 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.
