I have an updated report on Josh Ward from Sevier County. He competed at the Arnold Classic this past weekend and benched 551 pounds. He pressed 573 but 1 of the 3 judges didn't count it because he "hitched" on the way up. He will be a Senior this fall.

To all the younger guys just starting to lift:

 

Colleges when they send out letters to ask for info. They ask for Power Clean first off. Squat, second and finally Bench Press. I would put much more emphasis on the leg lifts to build the speed too. The Power Clean is thought of as an all around strength test because it involves alot of what football has in it.

This advice is for "tacomuncher". Sounds like your a strong kid. To go along with the strength, work on your speed and flexibility. Colleges want to know how fast a kid is, they can always make you a little stronger. Go to camps this summer and measure yourself up against other athletes at your position.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
