Lamarcus Coker from Atioch High is the best all around trackstar buddys no one can compare he runs a 4.29. im sure bingham aint puttin up numbers like dat

Coker is very fast...probably the fastest sprinter in TN (HS), but not even close to Bingham all around. Also, no one on here cares what is 40 time is...a fast 40 doesn't mean anything in track (outdoors).

Michael Bingham looked totally awesome at Optimist. He said he wasn't jumping great but boy did he make up for it when it came time to run. I believe the Chattanooga paper said there were eighteen teams at the event and that Bingham had more points than 13 of those teams. It will be interesting to see what kind of a decathalon total he has this year. It will also be interesting to see what three running events he competes in.

after comparing places and times between the two below- Bingham does definitely dominate, but Thompson from BCHS also a contender and strong all around athlete! Although Bingham has 4-1st place finishes and 1-2nd vs/ Thompsons 1-1st place finish,1-2nd, 2-3rd's, and a 4th! Both athletes are extremely talented! A total of 1.68 seconds seperate the two in a total of 3 running events~Thompson just needs a little more "grit", and he could be there too! (If he would have ran all the way through the finish on the 400m instead of coasting in the last 5 yds he could have dropped another 3 or 4 tenths of a second!)

What about the best girl athlete? Who is the best all-around?

Philipa Davies of Brentwood Academy and Lauren Stewart of Brentwood High are the two best all-around females in the state. Check the marks if you doubt.

 

...and they attend school only about 1.5 miles apart from each other. Must be something in the air in Brentwood!

My vote would be Bingham from McCallie. He ran 38 and some change for the 300 hurdles at our meet yesterday. He's well rounded, well coached, and very talented.

Bingham is awesome, but look for Chris Buck of BA to push him a bit in the decathlon this year. Buck has been putting up some big performances lately, including 15' 0" in the PV at Kenwood.

It's not in the air...it's in the coach. Gary Kinder, who was an Olympic decathlete in 1988, coaches (along with Philipa's dad, Brad Davies) both of them along many other of the state's top athletes.

    • 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.
