Farragut will be tough for all eternity, but on the other hand some other AAA teams that will be tough are Halls definately, Im sure teams like Murf. Oakland and Riverdale will be also. Dobyns Bennett will be tough, they are losing 2 seniors this year after makin it to the sectional game vs. halls and losing in extra innings, and now halls is in the state championship game. Alot of teams are losing excellent seniors all over the state, so it will be interesting to see what underclassmen pickup the slack for teams next year.

  farragut will be going for their 8th region title next year... 

 

what sophomores and freshman do you think from this year will make an impact next year. I know that there were 2 sophomore pitchers on varsity (besides catapano)that pitched well, i think cheek and joseph it was, in their few appearances and another that didn't get in to pitch for varsity but could throw pretty well also, duke i think was his name

Goodpasture loses 4 senior position players (1B, SS, 3B & RF) and first 3 pitchers from the rotation, however they will come back strong. GP doesn't rebuild -- they reload.

 

GP has an excellent crop of underclassmen that saw some playing time in '04. Reloading the infield and outfield shouldn't prove too difficult. The positions will go to the players that work the hardest during summer ball and continue to work hard on their game throughout the off-season. As usual, the positions will go to the reliable gloves that demonstrate they can hit the ball.

 

GP's pitching will be quite good in '05. They had so many pitchers this year (9) that they really couldn't use them all. Chris Lowe (RHP), Austin Tice (LHP) and Logan Darnell (LHP) will be the top three in next season's rotation. As a matter of fact, they could have been the top three for just about any team this past season. There's another 3 or 4 underclassmen with pitching experience that could be very effective in '05.

 

The bats? Yes, GP has lost some bats, but they've got some very good bats coming up. This will be the biggest factor. If these guys work hard in the summer and off season, GP could make another run to Memphis in '05.

 

Go Cougars!

I have to second BNA's post, Goodpasture will have a very good team next year.

Coach Estep did what he could to get the underclassmen pitching and playing time.

As BNA said if these boys use this summer to build on this past seasons performance they will be a very good team.

    • 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.
