29-1 for the last two seasons with two gold balls.  Can any other team say that?  No other analysis needed.
 

This year’s team was tired of hearing how they weren’t as good as last year’s team and how we were rebuilding.  They reloaded with another gold ball.  
 

Really no need to discuss the how - it was 24-19 when the horn sounded and the West D held when needed.  Great teams just find a way to win.  Congratulations to these players and these coaches for showing how to build a program rather than just a team.  
 

Woulda Coulda Shoulda - but really enjoyed watching the second gold ball rolling down Northshore in the Christmas Parade.

It was nice seeing that and seeing the players and coaches getting ring sized here soon.

Go Rebels!

Rebels lookin good for 2024.  They are returning 106 10-12th graders and are expecting up to 60 freshmen to come out.  They're going to need more locker room space, and game and practice gear.  Good problem to have.  Go Rebs

are these real numbers?

As of today 100% accurate as told to me today by one of the coaches.  I said up to 60 freshmen but they have 45 coming in that they know of, but there is usually 15 or so that show up as new students and come out in the fall.  But 106 10-12 is the count as of 10 am today.

those are pretty crazy numbers.  with their record of developing players that doesn't bode well for competition.

that's exactly what I was thinking, they appear to be building momentum rapidly coming off the back to back ships.

and the way they've developed kids that no one had heard of out of middle school into top performers for five or six years now.  They've had some bonafide all stars as well, but that depth comes from development.

exactly right.  And here's the thing.  Almost every one of the coaches are full time in the building, and that's huge in keeping that many kids out of trouble and eligible for play.   Great staff, almost zero turnover in coaches over last 6 years.  Plus, incredible support from the admin and the athletic council that raises funds among many other things when needed.  With this number of players in the program they are sure to need additional locker room space and equipment (helmets, pads, uniforms for game and practice).  But the support is in place to provide their needs.  The program is probably in the best shape it's ever been.

    • 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.
