The commandos are 16-2 and seem to get very little press. It seems like everytime they beat a good team everyone always says that the other team had a let down. i think that hendersonville is a state caliber team. i also think that andy wicke is one of the most underrated players in the state. he is averaging or 20 points in one of the most competitive districts in the state as a junior. how can he be called only a d-2/naia player caliber player? but the reason for his success as well as the teams is the excellent coaching done by kerry west and clancy hall. in my opinion they might be the two best coaches in the state right now. look at the athletic talent they have had in the past 3 years and look what they have done with it. this team works as hard or harder then any other team in the state and i think they have earned a little press.

I absolutely love Hendersonville, the only thing I didn't like about them was that it was almost impossible to call all the passes they make in their offense (I did play-by-play when they played at Bartlett), because they reverse it so quick. And when I wasn't broadcasting it, I loved it. ;) Kerry West does a fantastic job with them.

 

As for Wicke, he'll be a very good D-II/NAIA player if that's where he ends up.

A couple more big wins for the Commandos and then they will get the respect they deserve. The past two games they have played have been won by 1 point. They need to start playing there game. As for Wicke, hes truly a talented player. When you play a good amount of minutes as a freshman, then you know your good. I think, if he has a great senior year, he will play for a small D-1 school.

How can you guys say that a team that has lost one district game in two years can be underrated? Anything to motivate I guess.

Hendersonville is a great team, tough, strong, they have a lot of confidence at the end of games and play that way too.

Andy Wicke should be the MVP of District 9-AAA and probably will be since they pretty much clinched it last night. I can't see anyone else on their district schedule touching them.

I agree with all of the posts. Hendersonville is well disciplined and well conditioned. They are a very exciting team to watch and should go far in the playoffs. Wicke can create and/or take over game when needed. Any one of about 7 players can score 20 points on any given night. Coach West needs to be recognized as one of the finest young coaches in the state. His teams win....bottom line.

    • 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.
