My nephew goes to school with Carson Gentle at McCallie and he mentioned him to me a few months ago.  Junior this year and after watching him wrestle he looks to be a handful.  I've never seen Stutts wrestle but have heard good things.

Gentle impressed last year @ 220 as a sophomore.  Howard is gone, but #2, #3, and #4 from state tournament are all back this year.  Stutts went to Preps last year but I'd have to check to see how he did.  I know Howard placed 3rd at the event last year.

The problem with the 285lb guys in Tennessee is they don’t know how to take a shot.  It’s basically a pushing match and trying to snap someone into a front headlock. When they wrestle someone that has a true offense they rarely know how to defend a shot.

There are 2 heavies this year I know can take good shots and can defend them. They're a little undersized at HWT and were lighter weight kids who grew into the HWT class this season.

I think Tennessee has been blessed with some super athletic heavyweights in years past, I think back to Patrick Benson, then Bruno Reagan, Boykin, Sammy Evans, Kramer, Coffey and then last year we had Howard and Davis. I don't see any heavyweight in the state this year nearly as dominant as those guys, but I could be wrong.

You're not wrong, you've seen the best 3 we have this year IMO all from our side of the state.

Who would those 3 be?  Some of the guys on Pin-Tn haven’t competed yet because of weight.  I am assuming Wolfe is one of the lighter guys.

Coffey was/is a genetic freak.  Not fair to be that big AND have a 6 pack!

Wolfe, Redford, & McDonald. Wolfe beat McDonald 3-2 last week in a close one.

You're right about Coffey, that guy's lats were so wide I couldn't see around him!

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
