Don,

Last year Lawrence County lost 6 seniors, but they should be stronger defensively. Pitching, they lost Huckaba and Snider, but both were not as effective as expected last year. Lefty Tyler Copeland is back from an All-District season last year, but could be the #2 pitcher this year, Ben Beckman is also a very talented pitcher, suffered from some control problems last year and just never got in a rhythm, but is looking very strong and under control this year, throwing the ball very hard. They could be this year's version of Edwards and Pierce, but that could be an exaggeration, we will just have to wait and see how things play out. Good luck to Tullahoma this year, just hope Lawrence County does a little better than them, no offense.

Hey I have got a good one that nobody knows about that has jus moved in from Dom. Republic. His name is Carli Mceacahern. This kid is unbelievible, he throws a easy 94 on a average day!! It is the fastest thing I have ever seen. Miami has already offered him a full ride. You can believe me or not, but I ain't joking!!!! This kid just moved in about 4 days ago, and already is known that well!!!

thanks for info. Actually right now for us, levi was right, Jarred Smith may be our anchor. He pitched real well against Warren County. Bryan is not yet back to full speed. I am keeping fingers crossed and hope he gets back up there in velocity.

boyd buchanan has a really solid pitching staff this year. Chris Charles and Kenny Hickman will head the staff with a VERY solid 3 man in Nick Schild, and they have two more experienced hurlers (Andrew Holt and Josh Oakley) looking to get on the mound once thier arms heal.

OSKevin, I am Ryan Moore's cousin, and I play for Ooltewah. I know him pretty well and have seen him throw on many occasions. Whoever made the post saying he throws mid 90's is not correct. However, Ryan has been clocked at 91. He consistently throws his fastball around 88 or so. He is a sophomore, but towards the older end. He's big too. And I don't mean just kind of big. He's a big guy for his age and grade. He was McCallie's starting quarterback this year and led them to the state championship. So believe me or not, he does throw upper 80', and has been clocked at more.

Josh Bell out of Jackson North Side is by far the best pitcher in the state in my oppinion. he has already committed to Auburn, and one game i went to last year he was clocked at 95 and stayed around that area the rest of the game.

    • 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.
