Not much to really say, i am on here cuz the season is over and i can finally talk( no need to talk during the season, words mean nothing) but yes Riverdale deserves everything they are getting, from a praise standpoint.  As of kicking in college, things are in the talking stages right now with a few schools but I am not sure which direction i am headed.

Best of luck to you. There's no doubt you'll play somewhere if that's what you decide to do. You really made it tough on teams making them start from the 20 every single time, and hit some clutch kicks. Good luck man

CALL4BRUINS, very classy man. I'd like to just add to your point about clutch kicks...

 

1) 55 yard FG vs Clarksville 2004 Playoffs- ended up being the difference in the game

 

2) OT game winner vs Brentwood 2003 Regular Season- 'nuff said.

 

3) Game-tying FG vs Hendersonville 2003 Playoffs- without this, Franklin wouldn't have forced OT last year... can't remember the distance on it, but it wasn't a chip shot if I recall correctly

 

4) 3 of 3 vs Germantown 2004 Playoffs- kept Franklin in the game until the offense really got going

 

There are several others. Some GOOD college team is going to get a guy who is nearly perfect under pressure.

 

region4fan, as soon as I can access my e-mail again, I'll post what I sent in.

Appreciate it rebel27, when you say class, it reminds me of this Franklin football team. The "Rebels" cheer ranks up there with the Centennial cheers as far as being abnoxious for the other team to listen to, but these players are extremely classy(not saying the cheers aren't) I announced the games for Brentwood the past 2 years and went down on the field to talk to the players afterward, and this year after Franklin knocked us out, I talked to several of those guys. Unlike the Centennial-Brentwood and Ravenwood-Brentwood rivalries, there is more respect in the Franklin-Brentwod one. There is less jawing after plays, just more sportsmanship in general. I can't say that I pulled for Franklin at state because of our rivalry, but I respect them more than any team Brentwood plays. I admire class, and those players show it. I hope people can say the same when they come across Brentwood players.

    • 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.
