Keep up the good work coach. Y’all’s boys are havin the time of their lives out there 

Now go fetch coach Kilmer another district title. The sad part is the last time the fairfarden’s finest or wise50 could even mention a district title was when brewer was their coach. Now joansboro and Newport have win streaks against the smoky bears of Cherokee hills.

You would think as many Sevier County coaches that are on here or people that work at the central office someone would answer your question. I don't have a beef with the fine folks from Sevier County like Murphy College does and only wish them well. My first high school football  game as player was at Sevier County and the county fair was going on right beside the football field at the old field which not being from there I was always curious where it was at. Murphy College was nice enough of all the people I ask and told me exactly where it was which I visited back at the first of the year. Even though the old stands were gone the old light poles are still the same ones and the old scoreboard frame is still standing behind the newer one as a prop or something. I knew for sure I had found it when I fould the old scoreboard which had a real clock with hands on it to keep the time. Not only that but he told me about the old college which is the central office and a school that Maryville High played a few times back in the 1920's. Very interesting history you folks have there. 

That’s the problem Barn. The coaches spend more of their time reading what Murphy posts on coach T than they do teaching fundamental football. Right now the coaches should be in the weight room showing their student athletes to stop just short of going all the way up on their dumbbell curls. When you go all the way up you rest the muscle, if you stop just short you keep tension on the muscle and get a better pump. They should be making sure their student athletes aren’t bouncing the bar off their chest when they bench press. You have to control the bar to get full development of the pectoral muscle. They should be checking the lunch room and making sure the players are getting some vegetables and milk or chocolate milk. Not just a square pizza and a soda. They should be putting together a practice plan to ensure each position group is learning the feetwork and hand placement to be able to play that position. But they’d rather spend their time worrying about what Murphy College posts on the T. And don’t even get me started on the history lesson you just gave the descendants of Spencer Clack. I’ve heard several people at church say they didn’t know what Murphy College was until some old guy started posting on the T. I really don’t have a beef with the coaches. I watched most of them play midget and high school ball. I was screaming the loudest for them at burchfiel stadium. They were much better players than I ever was. But when I go watch the smoky bears I want to see fundamental football. I want to see purple pride. I want to see effort for 4 quarters. Most of all I just want to see kids having fun playing a kids game.

Hopefully these “roaches” will lead to wins against the likes of Cocke County and Heritage. Do you watch the other teams OL and count their “roaches” up to determine that you guys have lead your conference? Good luck to the Smokes this year! New conference should be beneficial.

He probably does. You have time to count the opponents “roaches” when you’re not coaching up your guys on the sideline. I remember when the smoky bears used to have in game adjustments, but those days are long gone. Thanks for wishing us good luck, we need it. But I’m of the opinion it doesn’t matter what conference you’re in if you don’t teach fundamental football.  Not gonna beat anybody if you can’t complete the forward pass.

Hey Murphy had to go to a wedding Saturday up close to Pittman Center and when I when past  Sevier County High School I thought about you. Also the good games we've had up there.

Hope you enjoyed the wedding, and congratulations to the newlyweds. We sure have had some good ones over the years. There’s also been some lopsided games and unfortunately we were usually on the wrong side of those games. If it were up to me we’d still be playing. I’d rather lose to bear creek valley than beat wearwood by 7. Maybe one day we’ll have a coach who will #JustDoItRight and schedule good teams. Apparently you can’t “Google” a way to compete when the competition is in your face, but you sure can google how to drive right past Sutherland ave and “compete” with lenior city instead. Sad day indeed. Maybe one day the students of the eastgate-fairgarden unified school district will be able to compete with good teams like OR. But I doubt it will be under this regime.

I don't care who you are old man. I answer to head coach and he says I do my job. That's all that matters. When we lead the conference in roaches again, I'll be here to let you know

Is the same head coach that lost to Newport? Still waiting for you to answer, coach.

    • 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.
