Heard the varsity played one half vs Warren? Then JV played awhile?  Anyone with details?

JV played in spots for both teams in 2nd half. Wasn't crazy about rotating qbs so much but I guess you gotta find the right fit. Line is a concern to me.

Also if someone knows if we only took a certain amount of kids to the scrimmage? Only looked like around 30 to 35 kids on the team. Numbers that low?

The recent team photo I saw looked to be about 42 kids.

How have the scrimmages been going? If someone has already said my bad, I'm too lazy to go read back. :-D

Lots of work to do but potential is there. Need to forget about last year and develop their own identity. Loaded will skill players as usual. The line has work to do, but they will figure it out. Scrimmages went as expected getting lots of kids playing time. Expect some losses in the regular season against the larger classification teams but we can use that as momentum headed into the 1A playoffs. Another deep run is expected, as every year in Pirate Country.

SP is just lucky to be able to hunker down and snap the ball right now.  No one should worry about the Pirates this year.  Just roll you helmets out there and we're done. :lol:

We graduated 6 all state players.  Our roster consists of around 43 players, of which, 17 are freshmen.  

If I were to rank us without any bias it would be at #5 .  No higher at this point.  And that may well be our ceiling this year.  Just line up and play ball.

We looked great in the jamboree. This team has lots of potential.

    • 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.
