What a game..I was able to listen via the Internet

 

I believe CG had the ball 12 times: 6 TDs and 6 TOs--4 INTs and 2 fumbles.

 

Thanks for listening! I'm glad that we could broadcast to Cookeville for you!

 

I guess I have some crow to eat. I really didn't think OS would bring it like they did. The tuernovers hurt, but the Bobcats made the most of them.

 

I was really impressed by Lynn Haynes. What talent God has blessed him with.

 

Congratulations to Oliver Springs, and good luck next week at Loudon!

 

Congratulations to the Panthers for a great season! It has been my honor and pleasure to follow you this season! I'm proud of all of you as football players, and as men!

 

You will be Region 1AA Champions of 2005 for the rest of your lives! Walk tall!

If you can't stop OS in the middle you're in trouble because the tailback is only 4 yards off the line and it makes it nearly impossible for the ends to make plays in the backfield. Also, Coach Johnson doesn't get cute when the ground game is going by trying to catch the defense off guard and mixing in the pass.

I had Haynes with 43 carries tonight for 272 yards and all 6 TDs. He carried on 27 of Oliver Springs' 36 second half plays.

Of those other 9 plays, one was a fumbled snap and a second play was taking a knee. A third play was a busted play that was supposed to go to Haynes, but the QB had to keep it instead. Then a 4th play was an unsuccessful fake punt, so it was pretty much 26 left, 26 right, and 26 up the middle.

Tough break for the Panthers. Turnovers killed CG. Not being able to stop Haynes killed CG. Gotta give it to him, he's a heck of a runner and he's hard to get down. He runs very hard. OS never stopped CG, CG always stopped themselves. On the flipside, CG never stopped OS either. But it proved for an exciting game by both teams, unfortunately for the Panthers, they came up on the short side. OS was the better team on this night. I was impressed by the resilliance of all the players. Neither team let down at any point. The razzle dazzle play that CG used to score their final touchdown was great!!! It just showed a little taste of the excitement that this team has given us all year. We are still very proud of the CG players and all they've accomplished this year. For you seniors, it was a great ride and you will truly be missed. For the younger kids, get in the weightroom, get your buddies out, and get yourselves ready to make another run next year!!! It's been great watching you all this year. You've given this guy a great fall!!!!!

    • 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.
