The following is from TBR:

JCS returns all TBR infielder Chris Harris-Sr./p-1b/ hit .514 (55-107) with 10 2b, 14 hr, and school record 67 rbi/ 5-3 on mound with 33 so in 38 ip- all-state and all-tbr last year. Big-time power hitter who hopes to build on stellar 2002 season. Robert Matlock-Sr./p-of/ hit .462 (61-132) with 12 2b, 2 3b, 6 hr, 52 rbi, only 6 so, 21-21 sb/ 3-2 on mound with 5 bb in 36 ip- all-state last 2 yrs. He sets the tempo for this team, plays the game hard every pitch, will move from RF to CF this year and will emotionally lead the team. David Grollnek-Sr./p-ss/ 4-2 3.23 ERA- looked to anchor the pitching staff and be everyday shortstop. Dal Coplin-Sr./C /Hit .309 (30-97) with 10 2b, 2 hr, and 23 rbi- caught all 39 games last year and will be looked to for leadership. Lee Mauney-Sr./2B-SS/hit .350 (41-117) with 9 2b and 34 rbi, 19-19 sb- very versatile player who started games at 6 different postitions last year but will settle into the middle infield this year, all-district performer last year. Andrew Smith-Sr./p-1b/3-4 with team-leading 41 ip- crafty right-hander who drew the tough assignments last year, provides quality innings and can pitch every day if needed. Michael Page-Sr./p-of/4-3 with 36 so in 32 ip- left-hander with great stuff, looking to improve his command, with look to be the everyday RF, all-district in 2001. Phillip Mitchell-Jr./p-3b/ hit .366 (37-101) with 9 2b, 3 3b, 1 hr, and 22 rbi, 15-17 sb- everyday 3b returning with high expectations, will need to be a catalyst for this offense. Adam Darby-Jr./p-of/ hit .309 (17-55) with 7 2b, 2hr, and 12 rbi- recovering from knee surgery after injury during football season, if healthy, will look to be everyday LF and hit in the middle of the order. Will McDonald-Fr./p-c/ hit .383 (31-81) as an 8th grader last year on the varsity team, with 5 2b, 2 3b, 1 hr, and 21 rbi- all-district performer as an 8th grader, great young player who has a chance to become one of JCS's best ever. OtherWhoWillHelp: Chase Chandler-Jr./2b/will compete for playing time in the middle infield, solid defensive player with excellent hands. Jay Walker-Sr./of/ returing to baseball after a 1 year absence- will provide much-needed depth in the outfield, good baserunner with excellent speed. Brandon Sheffield-Fr./of/great young player with good speed who could see significant playing time. The Eagles will battle USJ this year tooth and nail...let's not forget that while USJ won 3, JCS made the state tourney 4 times in the 90's so they have a good program going too... Jim Carter does a fine job and the Eagles have a legitimate shot at returning to the Region finals and possibly beyond if they can get by USJ.

    • 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.
