I find it interesting that Hightower has ran for over 1000 yards in 7 games and his team has only 3 wins. Also, he has rushed for over 170 yards 4 times and his team is only 1-3 in those games. He must be a great runner.

 

Defense must be L.C.'s weakness. They give up an average of over 30 points a game. It would be much higher but Clinton and Campbell Co. have terrible offenses and only combined for 13 against L.C.

 

This could turn into a "see who can score the most and score last" kind of games if Halls doesn't stop Hightower or at least slow him down.

I think you have legit concern RD. My hopes are that our line will play better this week. One thought is that our defense was more concerned about stopping Powell around the corners and became weak in the middle. I don't think that will be the case this week.

 

I am going to say Halls 38 , L. C. 14

 

 

I agree with your comment. Especially early, it looked like Halls was too worried about Watts and worried too much about contain and started to leave the middle open. I dont know much about Lenoir City other than they got spanked by Powell and Central and correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think LC has a player like Watts to be worried about. I think Halls will step up and stop or atleast contain the Hightower kid because from these stats people are giving it looks like he is all they have. Halls wins big!

Did anyone see O'Conner's FG against Powell. I didn't have a great angle but it looked like the ball was place beyond the 40 yard line but it was called a 48 yarder. I thought it was about 51. What is the school record now?

 

 

No, it was a 48 yard field goal. The ball was put down at the 38. I had a great angle from the pressbox.

 

That said, the kick had a good 8 yards to spare. It likely would have been good from about 54-55 yards away.

Halls snapped back and looked pretty good tonight. The game was never really in doubt.

Overall, Halls looked solid. No turnovers by the first team and not near as many penalties.

 

Hightower is a very good running back. He is a big play waiting to happen. He had one big play tonight.

 

Defensive backs were a major positive for Halls. I lost count, but I think they had 5 interceptions.

 

Next up for Halls is at Maryville.

    • 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.
