Sick. Truly ridiculous. It's April 10, and this boy is off the charts good. Just sick. Coach Harper, Smith and everyone at BA...congrats. Bumbi...we're not worthy.

Knowing TSSAA, they won't ratify the record because it wasn't exactly 3200m (it was longer). I wouldn't be surprised.

Bumbi is a freakin beast! He ran an 8:49 beating a Kenyan who is older than him! He ran a 62 last lap! He is the fastest distance runner in the country as a junior! He ought to go for the national record of 8:36 next year! Let's all hope he doesn't plateau any time soon! I smell a triple....no wait......two triples!

 

Congrats to you, Bumbi. Way to represent Tennessee! Go for the 1600 state record at your next big race! It's only 4:11.53. You can do that!

That would be me.. 3rd leg... I tied my 8th grade pr... Like justme said I have been injured for about 3 weeks right now and my times keep gettting worse... I'm going to pt for my knee and will end up taking a week or more off and prob. won't race again till sub-region.. Just an insight on how this injury has been affecting me; on March 25 I ran 2:01 and 4:40 basically all alone and I felt like I could've gone alot faster in both, on April 6th my knee started bothering me and I ran 2:04 at Mccallie, at Taco Bell I ran 4:47 for the full mile and the field there was stellar, then yesturday at Vol Classic I went 2:15 in the 4x800 and 4:51 in the 1600... :( I was in the best shape of my life and then it just hit me.... O, well there is still next year.. Uh, who are you justme??

    • 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.
