Doubt Lamar recruited him, he was average at best.  Nothing wrong with being average high school player, most are.

I believe the kid is playing out of position anyway.  He is built like a mack truck, and super athletic.  Don't be surprised if Lamar puts him at Linebacker going forward.  I think that is his best chance on playing at the next level.  JMO

Thought you would be up on the scoop. BHS has a supposedly great freshman QB. He is the basketball coaches son. Don't want to make the basketball coach mad or eliminate any basketball players playing football. It has been a problem at BHS for years. So transfer QB saw the writing on the wall.

I know what the situation is.  

Like I said, just looking for some consistency.

Isn't that you have to move like 20 miles away from previous school?  Last time I checked Bearden is not 20 miles away from West.  

20 miles only applies to Private schools since they have no zone boundries. So public to private and private to public are held to the 20 mile rule. Public to public only requires a zone change either through a permanent address change or a change of guardianship.

No, the distance rule is for privates since they don't actually have a territory. There are houses over here that one side of the street is Alcoa and the other side of the street is Maryville. If you legitimately moved from one side of the street to the other, you would be eligible.

You can actually drive past Bearden HS on your way to West HS if you live in certain parts of the Bearden HS zone. Most of the Bearden zone population is closer to BHS than it is to West HS. It makes no sense but that's how the powers in Knox County wanted it

In the old days at Bearden there were almost no kids who played both football and basketball.  I am pretty sure the 2019 state championship basketball team had 2 football players in the starting lineup.  

Can you name them? Were they starters/players or just token bench sitters.

    • 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.
