Look at it this way, even with the o line problems they still beat a 2A Semifinal team by 8 and a 1A Semifinal team by 40.

True, we play them this upcoming year and Huntingdon so we will know more of which of them two is the better. Idk what UC brings back, but if WV can make the right moves and give Simpson time they will be my pick to represent the west. Huntingdon will be better so it’s too early to really tell

Agreed about the offensive line. However, with Jarod Neal getting a full offseason with the team, that is probably not going to have as much Covid restrictions (hopefully with this vaccine), I do expect this team to make a pretty big step in 2A. Remember, they had SGC to the ropes in the playoffs.

They did in fact have westview on the ropes in the playoffs. However you have to dig a little deeper to get the full story. SG was without 6 starters due to Covid and contact tracing. Westview could have been down some personnel as well but I don’t know about any. Nevertheless I do agree they will make some noise in 2A next year.

If I’m his dad he would have transferred long ago. 

Because being able to choose which one of the 10 top football programs in the country he wants to play at just isn't good enough? I bet his options would really open up if he played for the coveted gold ball at Alcoa or Trenton. Should they just ship him off to IMG or some other place and watch his games on TV and miss out on actually getting to see him grow up? It may be hard to get community support for UTM football if the coach sent his kid to another school around Martin. Maybe the parents quit their jobs and uproot the rest of the family for high school football trophies?

How many times has he been sacked over the last couple years ?  What game footage do the scouts have to look at besides him running for his life ?  I guess my main concern would be him getting hurt. You can’t play college ball if your knee is blowed out or shoulder from getting hammered every time you touch the ball.

    • 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.
