Cloudland has won 1 out of the last what 14 or 15 by one point? Gordonsville I think is 4-1 against coalfield but that’s a huge school also. Don’t know that they have ever played eagleville but could be wrong. But everyone has their opinions. 

Not that it matters a ton but by my records we are 3-1 against Coalfield in games that actually were played

Won in 2012 in the semis, 2021, and 2022 in the regular season

Lost in 2019 regular season

Regular season game cancelled in 2020. Coalfield got the COVID win

Not too far off with the nuts part. Not even off with the small enrollment part, but small numbers mean nothing when you are a winning program. Know why?

You can convince a kid who may be a great athlete who gets little playing time at a 3A, 4A, 5A , school to play for you at a 1A school. Get 4 or 5 kids like that and you are going deep into the 1A playoffs. Who is nuts now?? Everybody sees now that it’s not me but definitely you

I just want to know what kids Coalfield has this year that has transferred from bigger schools. I only know of 1 kid that was from Clinton that enrolled at Coalfield last year as a freshman, and I believe he only plays baseball (could be wrong about that). He played his freshman year, but then hardly saw the field last year as a sophomore when the other Treece kid played with the high school as an 8th grader last year. I'm not saying recruiting doesn't happen, but they're not dipping into the bigger schools around them like you are claiming.

Very true and my point also being I think some of these small schools that have 160 and less enrollment would benefit from possibly consolidating especially when they're within 15 Mi of each other. Leave the existing schools for elementary and middle schools and then consolidate some of the high schools for better education and obviously better athletics.

I've been saying for years that Morgan County should consolidate to make 1 high school, but that will never happen.

The Treece kid is a very good athlete at QB but he’s a stud at baseball.

The problem is with Marion County, the bus radius would be way too large.  You would still have to maintain a student teacher ratio so the benefits on paper rarely translate to the real world.  Merging Whitwell and Jasper alone would create a 4A or 5A school with a huge bus radius.

I never said anything about transfers. You have completely been in the dark about what I am saying. Listen up again. 
 

What I am saying is CF is a winning program, kids wanna play for a winning program. What CF does is build relationships in little league, these same kids may stay at the school they are at for some time, but when middle and high rolls around that is when it happens. Boom then they are on the roster maybe starting in middle, maybe high school. It then looks like they have been a part of the program for awhile. They don’t look like a transfer. I’m not saying it’s not smart, but it’s not community against community anymore. If it was CF would not hold all the wins that they do have currently over local programs. 
 

All it has to be is a change of addresss. TSSAA is not gonna investigate. They don’t care, they want money, plus they don’t have the resources to confirm these things any way. What I am saying is all u need is a new address, you don’t even have to live in the community. This happens a lot.

Plus I would never name names that’s as stupid as the conversation we are all having.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
