Kelly is a freshman this year. He was ineligible in the eight grade middle school season because of his age. Felix is a great 15-16 year old freshman, but his age does have something to do with his adavnced abilities and ability to compete physically. As far as 14 year old freshman, I would have to go with Bauke of CBHS.

Bauke may be tough, but there is no way that he will be able to compete at the state tournament for the next two years. He is physicall incapable of hanging with Whitt Dunning and Corey Manson. He will find that his success as an elementary school wrestler will not transfer over to his high school days. There is more to wrestling than technique when you reach the high school level.

Well, seeing as this string has nothing to do with his physical toughness but his sucess as a freshman, I would say that Bauke is the most successful freshman in the state this year. Nobody question if he could beat Manson or Dunning, but I wondering if you have ever seen him wrestle? Not many kids have been year-round wrestling since they were in 2nd or 3rd grade. I believe that once the naysayers out there see Bauke perform at states, they will be suprised. I also believe that Bauke is in the toughest weight class in DII, and that he will give Dunning and Manson all they can handle. Just my opinion.

Josh Bauke is my pick for top freshman. It will remain to be seen if he can beat Whit or Manson yet. However, don't let the little schoolboy looks or the "elementary wrestling" garbage fool you. He is technically and fundamentally sound. At Oklahoma State's wrestling camp this summer, he won every match but two, a 4-2 and a 2-0 loss to to upperclassmen studs (from Oklahoma). He might not be a state champ this year, but look at who's in front of him. I know a lot of SENIORS that can't beat Whit or Manson.

    • 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.
