Warren County looked good in this one and if they continue to improve like they have been so far, they could come out 6-4 or 5-5

 

Warren Co has certainly been improving each week. Last week against White Co the offense show some signs of life and made improvements over the Lincoln Co game. This week the coaches really came together with a great game plan that almost worked. The coaches adapted the offense to use the tools they had available...even if those tools are not as fast as they would like. The defense didn't play all that bad at all..just couldn't get a hold of #3 on about three or four plays.

 

For those of you who were not there the game went mostly like this....

Warren Co gets the ball first. Puts together what looked to be a nice drive (about three or 4 first downs I think) but stalls and punts. Cookeville gets a couple of good offensive plays off then Langford breaks one for 65 yards. 6-0 Cookeville. Warren puts together a nice ground drive and keeps the ball into the second quarter and scores and goes up 7-6. Warren Co defense then steps up and shuts down Cookeville for most of the rest of the 2nd quarter very well. Warren Co has some success but is not able to get a good drive going all the way. The last minute of the 1st half was ridiculous. Warren Co had the ball with less than 1 minute at mid field and first down. A scramble on a pass attempt ends with a fumble and now Cookevilles got the ball. They give the ball to #3 again and he's off to about the 25 of Warren Co. A (bad call I think) facemask and a subsequent personal foul puts Cookeville at about the Warren Co 4 with 9.something seconds left. A real good call, pass, and great catch on a corner pattern and then a 2-point conversion (by you guessed it #3) puts Cookeville up at the half 14-7.

 

2ns half. Cookeville gets the kick. 1st play from scrimage..who else but Langford (#3) goes about 75 yards and Cookeville is up 20-7. Warren Co answers back with another nice looking long ground drive which included one pass to Mr. Chase Officer for about 30 or so yards (EDIT - This may have been the way WC scored the third TD - the pass to Officer - I've slept since then - EDIT). A few power ground plays later and Warren Co is back in it down 20-14. Warren Co defense holds and gets the ball back and things are looking good from the east side of Nunley Stadium. From here things get sloppy and my memory get weak. WC offense gets not much and Cookeville gets the ball back. A few plays later and lightening strike again. #3 is off on another one of his long scampers but Chase Officers catches him this time. Cookeville is able to get it in then goes for two and is up 28-14. Warren Co is not finished. Another good drive and Warren Co is only down by 7 at 28-21. You just had to think big Mo was trying to get on WC's side but all for naught.

 

Way to many penalties - most of which WC readily deserved. I think there were two turnovers each. WC had a long pass near the end zone intercepted late in the game. Kyle Mullican (WC's Jr. QB) handled the ball pretty well all night though. WC utilized several running backs - all doing well. The Warren Co O-line did just fine. Cookeville's best offensive showing was in the final possession of the game to run the clock out.

 

 

I don't know how many yards Langford had but it must have been 300 or so - mostly on just four particular carries. The really bad news...Dustin Langford (#3) is a junior.

Langford may end up being very good.This was his best showing to date.

What happened on the CHS touchdowns? Are they missing the extra point? :unsure:

 

Good luck to the Pioneers in the rest of the season.

THE SQUAD :)

 

I think one was missed and one was blocked. They were 2 for 2 going for 2 - 1st on the 2nd Quarter on the 2nd TD and on the 2nd TD of the 2nd half...also.

    • 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.
