ROGER PERRY FIELD... Really???

I admittedly don't know much about either Perry but I just didn't remember either doing much outside of 7 wins or so and early exits from the playoffs.  I should probably research more before I post.  It just surprised me when I couldn't find any championships or anything.  Did he donate a bunch of money to the school?

How many of those wins were at MJ?

Yeah that was my thought.  Just an odd look.  I guess the question is would that field be named after him if his son wasn't the current coach?  Maybe elder Perry is a household name in MJ and the community all know and love the guy, that would make sense I guess.  Does he live in MJ?

66-21 in 7 years at MJ.  Make more sense to name the field at Portland after him.

Dan Winfree made the semis at MJ also..............................

Hmmm...  Yeah I don't get it.  Using MJ logic Creasy should have the school re-named after him.

I never understand how any thread created about MJ is always a shade throwing contest. You're talking about a team who has been one of the upper echelon (top 10, usually top 5) 6A teams now for over a decade. Now in 5A, should be a team to keep an eye on to win it all. But nevertheless, always something negative to say. 

Had a good laugh at these two incompetent fools go back and forth on one of most senseless posts I’ve ever seen created on the T. Could care less about the negativity from people who have nothing to do with the program, Michaelmyers is one of those coward posters who has no affiliation but beats his chest like he’s somebody and the other dude admittedly said he doesn’t even have facts and should probably do some more research…. Lol the two fool circus.

No coward here. I just question naming the stadium for a coach who was there 7 years of the 100 year history of the school. Can't say it is because he reached the semis since it was done previously. If that is " beating my chest" then oh well.

Purvis is an alumni, coached there for years and won A LOT. Yet I can't imagine them naming the field after him. Name the gym for Tim Bell too?

    • 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.
