That is what blows my mind. Lawrence County was her home. She does a lot for her girls and treats them really good. Pushing them around days are over. If she stays there a while she will have a major powerhouse. They have a Middle Tennessee type real estate market and have lots of people moving in. Ashley has some history around here too. She played ball at Freed and her and the last South Gibson coach are I think old teammates at Freed and great friends. 

If I told you why she left you wouldn’t believe it so I’ll leave it at that

I probably would. But you would have to think that something had been brewing a while and it was an oil and water combination though. Something to do with administration I heard. For her to pack her bags and leave her hometown is a shock either way you look at it. South Gibson is glad it happend. She done well with y’all too. Something happend.

Not her intention to leave but small school  politics 

How do you feel about it?? Looks like a good coach from what we have seen. Players seem like they would run through a brick wall for her and I like her system. She went head to head with a great Clarkrange team last year and took them down.

Kids loved her she was hard but fair - like most relatively new coach sometimes didn’t adjust but hard to have 3 coaches in 4 years makes it hard to have continuity- all 3 are good coaches don’t get me wrong but different - first 2 had the trust of the team to prepare them for better competition - Summertown like most better programs can beat 80% of teams too easily ( if you know where I’m going ) so we’ll see on # 3

So you saying they ran her off?? Sounds like she made a player’s parents mad.

No not parents she was very likable and verrrrry upbeat ( if you every meet her you’ll know what I mean ) just can’t fight powers that be - and kids  would have ran thru a wall for her - we lost a good one SG luck to have her

Don’t know if she wants hs basketball to be her final destination though so SG may be a short term deal

Ashley and Catie were teammates at Lawrence County Highschool.  Ashley played and Freed-Hardeman and Katie at Lipscomb.  They are good friends and ex-teammates.

Ashley played at Freed with South Gibson’s last coach I am pretty sure Do know they are great friends and they both played at Freed at some point. Ashley sent one of our players that blew out a knee a letter in 2020. Same player broke her ankle game before Loretto in 2019 at state. Thought that was very classy of her. She is friends with some GC fans and former players. She is obviously a great coach and has built a powerhouse.

She coached at Columbia some where before y’all right?? As far as “powers that be” having problems. What do they want?? She beat the powerhouse Clarkrange Team last year that most probably picked against Summertown last year. That was a gut wrenching game that played a toll on your players, IMO. My legs got tired watching it it was so big of a battle. Didn’t they hire a coach that had been there before that left and went out of state?? Did he want to come back home?? Head scratcher they didn’t like her. I have watched her coach a bunch and she plays a lot like GC. Thought that at Summertown as well.

    • 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.
