What is wrong with Clarksville baseball? Clarksville is the 5th most populated city in TN and hasn't had a state championship ever that I know of. Closest one I can think of is Clarksville Northeast about 5-6 years back when they went to the Final 4. Citites like Nashville, Memphis, and Chatanooga have regulars in the state tourney every year whereas Clarksville gets excited about one per decade.Clarksville High has always seemed to have talent, and Northeast did until its talent moved onto newly opened Rossview. Rossview opened last year with a bang finishing ranked 16th in state, but that was due to head coach Jason Rice. Seems to me that Clarksville in general needs to step it up a notch so they don't become the laughing stock of TN.

I played on the 97 Northeast team that went to the state championships. We were always called underachivers because we had so much talent but never went far. At Northeast it was due a large part to coaching decisions on who and where players played. It was more about who a players dad was and how much money he put into the program. I was one of four players on that 97 team to play college ball, and if coaches had help any players get recruited, more would have played at tthe next level. Coaching in Clarksville is the main problem.

      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.
