I hate to say that we would of won the game had Bobby been in the goal but he sure would of helped alot. He's more aggressive and we (defenders) know that we can rely on him when we screw up. Are backup keeper didnt do bad for his first ever start at a real Varsity game. Referring to a previous post..I also was impressed with the Owls after the game, they showed good sportsmanship afterwards.

 

I have been to state the past 3 years and never got past the first round, now that I've graduated it's all over :) Owls, you better go there and win one for us!

 

Good luck in the state tourny!!!

Ditto on the sportsmanship and the way both teams played the entire game. Riverdale vs McMinn

wow, two comments on ooltewah's good sportsmanship; I guess curtis has really started building a class program there. Africanowl I said "like 92'" 93 is close enough lol. Cant wait till state, looks like ooltewah got a good matchup first round. Im already in Nashville for the USA game so Murf is only a few miles away.

It seems that nobody understands what McMinn was doing in that situation...contrary to what you Ooltewah fans believe, Earls wasn't taking him out because he did a bad job, he was taking him out so he could get an extra attacker, he inserted Jon Winfield into goal so he could use him as a "sweeper-keeper". I also understand McMinn had been practicing that in case they got in that situation..I also don't understand why you praise Bobby Smith so much, don't get me wrong he is a great keeper and did a great job that night, but he made a fool of his coach and his team by making a scene of nothing..

 

I think that stating that Bobby made a fool out of his coach and his team is a little strong. Maybe, he thought that he was being taken out of the game because he did something wrong. It was in the second overtime period and emotions were running very high. To say that he overreacted would be more suitable. He is not psychic. It is a done deal and it cost him a spot in substate play. Let it drop.

Ooltewah 3 Cookeville 0. Owls looked better in pretty much all aspects of the game. Goals by Lowe, Bajic, Spence. One nice PK stop by the Bus. Owls State Bound first time since like 92' Good Job guys!

 

well you know it is kinda easier to stop a pk when ur out to the six before the guy shoots and ref that doesnt see, isnt it??

haha he did the same thing back to Cookeville that the Cookeville goalie did in 02' to keep ooltewah from going to state. I have always wondered this stat: Number of PK's taken...Number of times goalie jumps foreward illegally....number of times ref actually calls a re-kick because of it.

I'm pretty sure Cookeville was already ahead at that point anyways (in the '02 game).

A little strong? You must be kidding...he made an absoloute fool of him by yelling at him and telling him he was done, if i remember correctly the ooltewah fans booed him for yelling at Bobby...here's a better question, would anybody be talking about Bobby had he not gone on this tirade?

even if that is the case, im pretty sure 1 goal wouldnt have mattered a whole lot in a 3-0 game, was still a good game by cookeville despite the 12 men on the field and the sub-par officiating

Sounds like you have a personal interest in the matter. We can debate this for as long as you want; but, it just doesn't matter anymore. Let it go.

    • 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.
