It was good to see a win in the 1st game and as I could tell only Miller had an injury. IF it were up to me I would dress Miller, but I would only use him IF it was needed. That's not to say Hillwood will be a pushover or anything like it. What worries me about this game is that everytime Gallatin is supposed to have a big night of scoring we have taken it on the losing end...(McG in 04' and Overton 06') as of late. I would really like to see a complete game out of the team this week. Maybe they got the wake up call against a GOOD Lebanon team last night that you really do play like you practice. 1st home game should be a Large crowd with a lot of the wood work fans coming out this week.

I don't know about this year, but If Hillwood is anything like last year, then they have about the least amount of depth that a 5-A team can have. This can really make a difference in a game, especially late in the 3rd and in the 4th quarter. I hope to see Gallatin improve a good deal on offense this week, and if the D plays like it did vs. Lebanon, then they won't be giving up ANY points to Hillwood. This should be a pretty one-sided game unless Gallatin gives up the big play.

 

Prediction: Gallatin 28 Hillwood 7

Once again, not much love for the Green Wave in the top 20 fan poll this week. Gallatin is still at #9, but that is alright with me. I don't want our guys getting that big head. I know it is cleche, but you gotta take them one at a time. One interesting note, however,: Murphy Fair has Gallatin at #1 in his rankings. The last time I heard Ole Murphy say anything about Gallatin, he got shown the G-factor. Maybe he just doesn't want history to repeat itself. No seriously, he said on 104.5 that he thought Gallatin had an outstanding chance to go 10-0 this season.

Just because ole Murph says it doesn't mean it is true. We have a lot of work to do by what I saw to be a true #1. Have we got the type of players? Oh yeah. Have we got the talent? Oh yeah. Depth? Oh yeah. The desire? We'll see. I think that after this week we may get a better idea of what a team looks like playing on the same page. While we don't need to take Hillwood for granted, they are not the caliber of team that Lebanon is. But they can easily beat you if you let them stay around. Putting points on the board quick and often will only help Gallatin and demoralize this Topper team. One major area of concern could be the defense of Hillwood. The pass happy Independence team got two of there scores via the special teams. That could mean that their pass defense and speed ain't too bad.

Bottom line is Gallatin could play their freshman team against Hillwood, and that would make for a decent game. Hillwood is no where near anyone in the region. Gallatin by whatever they want it to be.

 

That's a pretty stupid statement to make, I realize that hillwood doesnt have the depth, suppport or funding that Gallatin has but you dont need to trash talk to that extent. It would take one of the greatest games hillwood has played in the past two years in order for them to come out on top, having said that if it makes you feel better to cut on them like that then go ahead. Hillwood already has several obsticales to overcome that 90% of high school teams out there dont have to deal with and then they have to compete in 5A on top of all that. They try their hardest but success for them will probably never come in 5A

    • 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.
