I think we all hurt this week over the game friday night. It was a tough weekend for the seniors. But as we know one game doesn't a season make. So I'm expecting a big bounce back from the running game. Also I'm hoping we pass on first down occasionally in the first half. I don't think we will look ahead to Maryville now because each game is so important. I bet the long snap for the punter will get a lot of attention this week in practice. Overall, this team still shows a lot of spunk and intestinal fortitude. RED DEVILS 28 L.C. PANTHERS 14

This will not be a problem for Halls. LC has a couple of good players in Hightower, Cusick and Johnson, but they will not be enough to cause a problem for Halls. Halls should roll up some points in this one and win by a wide margin. Good luck to both.

 

 

Yep, should be a stat game for Halls.

Let's not get carried away. Hightower is one of the best RB's in the area with already having gained over 900yds. in 7 ball games. If the devils aren't focused and are still pouting over friday, then this will be a dog fight 'til the end.

 

 

You've got to be kidding me. Since opening the season with wins over two patsies, Lenoir City has given up 45, 47, 45 again, and 34 points in losses, and won over Clinton. Halls isn't 5-2 by accident. They will roll this week, too.

HTV and Sneaky, I think you are both right. I don't think Halls will ever overlook a team. If they let Lenoir City hang around, it is because they lost faith in themselves. They are a better team this year. Not because of better players, but because of believing in themselves and their coach.

 

Halls kids have grown up in the youth leagues learning that they can play with anybody but also that anybody can beat them if they give up to many big plays. Speed is almost always the issue that causes this.

 

The loss last week was due to line play in the first 3 quarters and mental mistakes. That is what makes it harder to take. I am sure that the coaches will get those things addressed.

 

If I know coach J., Lenoir City better get ready for a mad Halls team.

I have to take exception to that statement. Halls lost because they had 6 yards rushing in the first half and only 21 for the game when they came in averaging about 180 per contest. Powell's defense had something do to with the loss. You have to be able to run the football to win in 3-4A, and especially on a night like it was Friday when the wet field dictated that whoever controlled the line of scrimmage would more than likely win the game.

 

You can talk about mental mistakes all night long being the difference, but Powell made them, too. The Panthers had 3 possessions inside the Halls 10 that came away with no points. Penalties, and lack of execution hurt Powell every bit as much as mental misakes hurt Halls.

 

That said, I am very impressed with where Coach Julian has his team. They are a good football team.

HTV, I don't think my comments disagree with yours. I think the lack of rushing was due to line play as was Powell's success in rushing.

 

And penalties were just one type of mental mistake I was mentioning. The punters mistakes were mental I believe as well. If you take a conservative average of O'Conner's punts of 35 yards plus the fact he was 15 yards deep receiving the snap, those two miscues cost the Red Devils 100 yards.

 

I wouldn't take anything away from Powell. They controlled the line for 3 quarters and earned the win. I was just commenting on what Halls needed to do to get better.

Fair enough. No problem.

Halls rolls on senior night big! And sry to my fans that have been missing me posting on here ive been a lil busy!

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
