This is more exciting than NFL draft hope we hire right person - Summertown deserves & desires the right person - doesn’t have to be lifetime hire but one that makes more than 3 year stint 

The right person probably needs to be a traditionalists. The gym is one of the coolest gyms in the state but not the greatest facilities to continue to win at the highest level. Plus they are moving to 2A.

New Gym ( and campus ) have been on drawing board - other things seem to be more important

One of the most impressive things about Summertown’s success in basketball (boys and girls), baseball, softball, volleyball is they’ve done it with terrible facilities.  
The gym is a fantastic place to watch a game but it’s the only gym on campus (4 goals total).  It has to be shared by both HS basketball team, both MS basketball teams and HS and MS volleyball. The gym, in my opinion, is also a dangerous place to practice basketball. There is about 18 inches between the sidelines and the walls. They’ve had a couple of serious injuries during games in the last couple years - serious as in neck injuries requiring Lifeflight. 
Summertown has been incredibly successful anyway, which speaks to the quality of their kids and their coaches.

Sounds like the gym may be ready to become a basketball museum and sounds like it is time for investment to maintain their success.

I would put Gibson County’s facilities up against anyone’s in the state. Big time facilities.

 Did they build a new one since 2018.  Cleveland High School has the best facility and considered one of the top ten in the country for high school.

Gibson County built an auxiliary gym that has two floors  with clocks all over and has goals hanging everywhere, 5 or 6 shooting guns, has weight rooms, laundry rooms, meeting rooms, bath rooms in auxiliary and has a sunken in gym in the main that holds a bunch, don’t know exactly but has a walking track all the way around it with goals hanging every where. Hadn’t seen Cleveland but wouldn’t trade and would never trade because of our main gym. Gibson County and West TN  plays a ton of basketball on these floors.

Love watching games in y’all’s gym. Great basketball atmosphere!

    • 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.
