What is there to hide? It's an open enrollment county. Didn't the single best player in Macon's program, over the last 20 years, come over from Red Boiling? 

Why do people get so Defensive when I call it Putnam County High School when it’s known that the best athletes in that Area all go to one school? Yes One player moved all the way from Red Springs to LaFayette to play not an entire roster in all sports every year.

I sure would have loved Cade Apple from Cookeville play for us then. We missed out n him.

So he was the first and only RBS zone kid to ever play at Macon? Nope.  And if truth be told. Lots of kids in baseball, basketball, and now football that can't make it at Upperman go to Cookeville to play. It works both ways.  Basketball had several this past year.  And lots of the Upperman bus zone includes Cookeville zip codes and parts of the Cookeville city limits on the west side. It not Baxter high school, it's Uppetman High, western Putnam County area school systen. Macon and Upperman schools have simular enrollments, so line up and play ball. Enough with the bs excuses.

    • 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.
