I thought this was suppose to have been a pool play and then gone into a single elimination games. For some reason MJ is just having the teams play four games and then go home. They are saving money on umpires by not playing the extra games. Looks like they have some good teams but this one will not be as good as the Beech Playday. It looks like they even have more teams this year than last year. But with all of the rain and the long range forecast this one may not even be played. Why are did they change the format??

if we catch a break on the weather, then four games would

be more than enough for most teams, considering this would

be the first time on the field this year.

I imagine that play will be pretty ragged due to the lack of

work, especially in the outfield (unless there are natural born willie mays or andru jones types out there). since its just pre-season practice, it would be a good chance to

get the bugs out. that said, hopefully the mj playday along

with the beech playday the following week, will help prepare

everyone for the first regular season tournament (hendersonville) on March 13-15, since most of the same

teams will be playing in all three.

:D

Jeff is an assistant, too. He is also the assistant to the boy's basketball team. He may not be around for softball for a couple of more weeks (or days-- depending on the basketball teams status in the districts????). I am not tee-totally sure why funding was provided for an additional assistant to the softball team. 16 players with 3 coaches should produce a viable team-- we'll see.

 

Crazebear, I think I know who you are. I student taught at your spouse's high school-- UHS. Is that the right high school? I may be way off base- just guessing.

I am from Mt. Juliet and as bad as I hate to say this, they REALLY need to call off the tournament this weekend. I don't know if rescheduling is a possability but even if it isn't they just need to cancel it. Those fields are in worse shape now than I have ever seen them. There is NO way they can be ready and good enough to play on by this weekend. It would be better for them to cancel the tourny now so people can plan to have a life this weekend instead of sitting around to see what "might" happen.

    • 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.
    • 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.
