He did jump. He opened up at 14'6" and preceded to no-height on three consecutive vaults. He looked like his steps were off, and after talking to his coach, it is my understanding he didn't have the right pole either. He never looked like he could have cleared 9' that day, with the way he was running and planting. He never had it, in my opinion.

But what happened with Brianne Anderson. She long jumped in 1 meet last year and qualified for region, she went to that and qualified for state, but because the softball team was playing she had to choose to play softball instead of jump. I don't think the softball team did as well this year and I figured she'd be jumping for a state title if she got the chance?!

Actually...his winning vault last year was 14"6', this year he came in at 14 and never cleared. It happens.

Actually he outlasted the guy from Bartlett last year. Both cleared 14'6". What Lee did was not stupid, and it is my opinion the way he was vaulting, he wouldn't have cleared 9'. Like I said, his steps were off and you could tell he was shaken after his first attempt. The way I look at it is he was either going to make it for sure or not even close at all. If he had cleared 14'6", 16' was his. I'm confident of that.

I'm not much of a vault or jumps coach, but I do remember watching the 1992 Olympic Trials, and watching on TV a guy they were called the "world's greatest athlete"...Dan O' Brien...an enormous favorite for the decathlon gold...no height in the pole vault. On his opening height. And it wasn't like he came in at any thing crazy, it was like 13' which was in his normal range. He took a zero, missed the Olympics and watched at home like the rest of us. So crazy stuff can happen to you in the vault, that's for sure.

Still, I would never let a kid wait to come in until 14' unless they were consistently going 16'. In any event, he's got plenty of good vaulting days ahead of him.

HAHA, interesting thing is that I heard at least 4 track coaches say that when it happened. I talked to Maryville's track coach and it was a case of he knew he could do it and had been vaulting well all week. It was just him being out of the groove that day.

 

I know exactly how he felt. I did it at the region meet. I threw so well in practice all week and just never had that at the meet.

 

 

I never caught you at the state meet, Coach. It was interesting putting faces on people, but I never talked to anyone from Kenwood. I saw your 4x200 team run.

Then you saw our 4x200 get beat :angry:

Would have been cool to meet you...if you aren't a senior, maybe there will be a next year in Memphis.

No ....I was able to make it as a sophomore. Two mroe years. I spent most of my time on the fence over at the 100m mark on the track. I was just about everywhere in the morning for the girl's field events and of course over at the old shot put most of the morning of the boy's field events.

 

 

Yeah, our 4x2 team got skunked too. I was the alternate on it. I wish I had been able to run it.

Lee isn't coached by the Maryville coach, the Maryville coach doesn't help him make ANY decisions, Lee has a hired coach that also coached his older brother Jeff. In fact, last year when Lee won the state I didn't see him vault in practice...ever. He came occasionally, but all his vaulting practice was at UT, he came to the meets and competed. I think this past year he took a much more assertive roll on the team even running some, which I always wanted to see him do, he is a good athlete.

I know that, if you read my post I inferred that. I used to be over at UT at the same time Lee was vaulting.

    • 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.
