After watching Kenwood's Jamal Shelton at Brentwood, he is the man to beat in the state. He demolished the field at Brentwood with pins over Antioch, FRA, and Soddy Daisy. His longest match this weekend was a first pd pin over Soddy, and that only went 1:20 seconds. I thought Antioch and Maplewood had pretty good 103's, but this kid is real and will probably win it all.

Jamal Shelton is about 99% muscle. He is a very large 103, but if you were at Father Ryan, you would have seen Shelton get technically domniated by the Webb kid, who was a pretty big 103 as well. Elee Puckett is not only big, but is the most experienced 103 in the state. I have seen both wrestlers, and I do not think that Shelton will be able to hang with Puckett.

Believe me, Shelton will get out wrestled (in the purest sense of the word) at states. Most of his matches are him grabbing the puny scrawny freshman 103 and throwing them to the mat and pinning them. They call him "Snake", and a bad man he may be, but Elee Puckett, or any other wrestler that is techinically sound and can take Shelton to the 2nd or 3rd, will pick him apart. I saw it at Father Ryan, and I know I'll see it at states too.

    • 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.
