I looked up the population of McKenzie and it was over 5000. A town that size should have a highschool with about 800-1000. Jamestown is 2300 and the school has about 500 and is 2A.  How can there be only 367 in the school?

Wow, I had to do the math on this 1000 kids in the HS would equate to 250 per grade. In a K-12, that would be 3,250 kids. When you factor in the 0-4 year olds, that’s approximately another 1000 kids in the town. So that is over 4000 kids in a town of 5000. I’m not sure your numbers quite make any sense.

He is just throwing stuff on the wall. Trying to act like McKenzie is doing something wrong.

A college town skews the population for sure…just ask Martin! That’s why they go by the high school enrollment and that’s it

A lot of people ask me about that. Martin has approx. 11K as a city, the campus is approx 7K from what I was told. We’ve always had a pretty good size student body and school mainly being in 3A or a big 2A. If Martin was listed at 17K by including college population and not going by school student count we’d easily be 4 or 5A.

Yeah I noticed that Huntingdon missed single A by 4 students with this last classification.      LOL

Yes. It has been tough on Huntingdon in basketball and football. They have to play in easily the toughest district in the state in both. The Fillies only lost to 3 teams this season. 2 of them were state champions and the other was a very good Gibson Co team. The losses to Gibson Co and Westview all came down who had the most foul shots at the end.

I am calling it now.  Huntingdon is in Murfreesboro next year.

    • 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.
