Good game last night. It was back and forth pretty much the whole night. OS has sone really good shhoters and #14(can't remember his name) couldn't miss last night. At the end Oneida missed some shots and that hurt them, but this might be the best effort the Indians have showed all year.

I am a really big Oneida fan but I have only managed to go to 2 games this season. I have tried to keep up with all the scores as much as I can. It is really starting to bother me that the boys team is performing as poorly as they are. I have talked to some people about the team and they all tell me the same things. Everyone says we rely on only a couple of players to score and we only have 2 people that play defense(and I was at the Oliver Springs game and 1 of the 2 defenders we have was apparently hurt). When you have as many seniors as Oneida does everyone on the floor has to realize that it is a TEAM game and idividual stats don't mean jack. If this continues, in my opinion, there needs to be a change. Whether it is players or coaching, either way there is to much talent to just let this season go to waste. Just look around you never know what you may find. GOOD LUCK INDIANS AND TURN THIS THING AROUND!!!!!

The problem is that the team doesn't get up for teams that aren't supposed to be any good. Example: Oakdale. Oneida would have 2 or 3 more wins if they would just be excited to play. And against good teams like Cosby Oneida turned it over too much to win. All the Indians need is to get some fire under their butts and play smarter. Hopefully we can get back into a rhythm against Jellico tomorrow.

I am glad someone replied because I have never been on here before and I was hoping for some feedback. I take it that you are a player Ro, and you are right in one thing that you said and that is the Indians do need to get some fire under their tails and come to play every night. But the part about getting up for every game should not even be a thought. You play to win, and you can only win as a team. If you go into any game that you are not prepared for you are only prepared for one thing, and that is to fail. Never think you are better than anyone but never think you aren't better than someone.

I just have a few comments... First, it is not the coaching. I was not impressed with the ability of the Indian players. They had one kid that could really score but they did not defend with any intensity at all. I also thought that OS could have blown this game open early if there was more pressure because the Indians turned it over like crazy and a little pressure just made it worse. Just a few observations from an outsider. This is the only time I have seen them play and maybe my first impression is way off but from what I saw... I would get rid of the players not the coach.

I guess that I need to choose my words better. I did not mean in any way that the Indians need a new coach, I feel that Coach Windle has a good mind and very good potential. What I meant when I said there needs to be a change, is that what the Indians are doing now is obviously not working and maybe just CW's philosophy needs to change. Sorry for the confusion.

There's no need to say anything about the coach or the players. If anybody talks of getting rid of Coach Windle then they're stupid. He might be the best thing to come through this school in a long time. The players will get it together and come to play, they just need to get a good win.

    • 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.
