  I think so, Lavergne has the talent, its just a matter of playing strong ball and sticking together. They've got alot of bats but an issue that will hold them back is pitching, if pitchers step up then they are in.... Go Rags, Dean, and Barnes 

 

This must be some kind of joke because LaVergne has no chance of winning the district, much less the state. They have can't play a lick of defense (I heard they made like 12-13 errors against Warren County). They can't hit very good, and they have no pitching. They have a little bit of talent, and they have pretty good coaching, but they aren't at the level with the rest of the district talent-wise. They don't have any leadership on that team from what I saw either and the few good players that they do have seem like they are more selfish than being team players. It will be a long season in LaVergne this year

lavergne does have a strong team and maybe right now they are lacking in self confidence and disipline of the game... there are leaders on thier team but they are not stepping right now. you can say what you want dragbunt but it think in the end you will be wrong. those select people will step up and they wil be good. pitching wise right now we aren't struggling as bad as you say.. everyone is getting stronger and lavergne's pithers will be good before it is over.

Dragbunt, don't base the entire season on one game. LaVergne still doesn't have a set lineup, which may explain some of the errors against Warren County. They did come back and beat Warren County in a game a few days later. The pitcher who came in on relief only allowed one hit, and the LaVergne bats came alive to come back and win the game. So I wouldn't count LaVergne out, they are a team that is working hard and constantly improving.

They'll need to work really hard to compete in 9-AAA. They better practice night and day, because they just aren't very good and they don't believe they can win. Jackem45...I'll say this, if those select few you mention will start stepping up soon, why are they waiting? Last time I checked, the season started about 2 weeks ago.

    • 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.
