Most high school programs have 25-35 kids...

Did you know that Fulton's 3 best players are out of zone?

As long as kids transfer coming out of 8th grade OR move into the new school's zone it is all good.  This transfer stuff has always been around.  Find it funny that all of a sudden people are upset about Bearden football cause they finally are relevant.  Was there all of this outrage when Jones was at Fulton or Powell?

Oh, quite a few were, that I know of. I’ve known about him since his Fulton days. It’s no coincidence when he left Fulton they started sucking big time. Lowe @ Powell is still a good enough coach to keep Powell relevant or they’d probably suck too.

Bearden Football is just now joining the recruiting game with JJ. But they have long been involved with recruiting primarily in basketball and soccer. But… it’s not just 8th graders. I recall a recent girls state basketball title team with three starters that transferred after playing at other schools.

Basketball and soccer have been so successful that they recruit themselves.  Just like my admirals baseball team and Maryville/Alcoa football

I don’t know why they can’t instill that effort, attitude and toughness that Blevins always had in his players. His teams in 2010’s were rock solid as far as what you want in a HS program. Bearden just puts together “teams” of recruits now, not a real program. 

I have been able to watch them at least twice every year for the last 25 years, and I completely disagree with your comments.  Furthermore, about 95% of those boys I see play at Bearden were the same kids I saw play in middle school for West Valley.  If anything there have been fewer recruits playing over there since Blevins left.

Big game vs Fulton this weekend. Can’t wait to see a great Fulton team play against that Bearden club. Interested to see if Bearden chooses to play defense.

The last several years Bearden has played excellent defense from what I have seen.  They regularly hold teams well under their season averages.  Right now coacht page has them allowing only 40.8 ppg...

    • Good ole Bradley Zulliger. He was a really good QB @ OR. Fun to watch. 
    • They should be pretty good in year two for Rang.  Replacing most of the offensive production losing Dozier, Hayward and Rembert , but they're are skill kids in place ready for their shot.  I know I say this every year, but the o line should show improvement after two years in Rang and Kevin Day's weight program.  I still would favor West over Plow and OR come November.  The Rebs will have to grow up a bunch between now and then, and will probably take some lumps along the way with that schedule.  But I predict come playoff time they will be ready.   One of their coaches half joked to me that they could go 5-5 regular season and win the state championship.  Ha ha.  
    • there will be a couple of teams,that could make some noise
    • Dyersburg may win back to back to back championships. They are going to be hands down the best 3A team. Plus their District/region/sectionals are not very good. They basically just have to make it to region out of a 5 team district that has a few decent teams. South Gibson will be okay but they graduate their best player and there is nobody in the region 7 or region 8 who is going to compete with them. 
    • I remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.
