No... not necessarily. Markese Nelson and Charles McTorry were about equal in high school success. Maybe what you are saying is that Nelson beat McTorry. And that is very well tru. However, McTorry was a junior, and I don't think I would be going out on a limb to say that McTorry was better in his senior year than Nelson was in his senior year. But that's just my opinion, and I'm sure there are plenty who would disagree.

i saw where someone had hunter stapp on their list. why would you put him on the list he never won a state championship and clarksville's jason pennington is way better than stapp ever was and sadly neither won a state title but i gotta say pennington got extremely close this year. i dont really have a list cause i havent been around wrestling as long as some of you but stapp would not be on mine. i would stick with guys like keller and simpson and mccarty and wells.

Right! But that was after he had completed Collegiate Wrestling. And he had year's of experience on these two. I really don't think that he would've been able to beat these two head-2-head back in the day...And I'm not downplaying Heath either. Cause he was a great wrestler. I should know he started ahead of me at UTC. L8er!!!

When sweeton wrestled Mcarty he dropped weight just for the competion, this was the case in most of his losses. there was not many people that won state 3 times or wrestled with half the intensity that he did. I am not saying that he was the best because if he was he would have won all 4 years, but he is one of the top in the last ten years.

simpson never showed me anything better than what these guys did....and by the way, the subject was five wrestlers not just one so if you cant think of five then dont post just one

 

I have a question. Does the fact that Simpson placed 3rd at the NCAA's show you anything?

 

P.S. And as a true sophmore?

    • 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.
