John Overton @ Gallatin 10/06/06

Gallatin hosts Overton in week 7 on what I believe is Senior Night. Overton is coming off a loss to Hunters Lane, but has a win streak against Gallatin, beating them last year 31-16. Think the Wave has forgotten that? This will be an interesting game, but consider this:

 

Gallatin has outscored its region opponents (all Metro teams so far) 130-25. Put that together with the revenge factor from last year and Overton could be in for a lot of pain Friday.

 

Thoughts?

All according if Overtons big play receiver is back from his concussion. That actually make this game close. But if they beat Antioch that bad last night...i really dont think anyone in metro can keep up with em.

I dissagree i think any team can hang with Gallatin.......dont get me wrong they have a great defense but their offense leaves something to be desired.......47 points but i doubt they had to drive 80 yards to score......if a team dosent turn the ball over to that dominate defense then Gallatin can be beat easily......but thats just it....thats the extreamly hard part....not only are they good but they put fear into every offense they play which leads to getting some easy turnovers....along with good special teams..........its about as hard as it sounds...u hit them in the mouth they bleed like everybody else.....a metro team just has to bully them the way they have been bullying everyone else

All of Gallatin's remaining Metro games are against teams that have beaten them in the last two or three years, Overton, Hunters Lane, and McGavock. So each team has proven that they aren't intimidated by Gallatin, but can they actually do anything on the field?

 

Nobody has been able to get more than two good drives against the Wave defense, so that side of the ball is pretty locked up- you get 14 points at most. The Gallatin offense is what has to be attacked. If Gallatin turns the ball over and gives up cheap scores then they can get beat. But if they hold on to the ball, stay patient, and give the defense a little breathing room then I'm not sure there is a team on the schedule that can beat them.

 

We'll see.

 

We are in the meat of the schedule- Harder ever week!!

Gallatin will not lose in the regular season. If they stay healthy, I think they will go very deep in the play-offs.

I think GHS goes deep as well, and wins the Overton game going away.

 

Based on results thus far, I'm going to say the 5A championship game is a matchup between two long-time Tennessee powers with long state title droughts: Gallatin vs. Dobyns-Bennett. I would love to see this matchup. Both have roadblocks in the playoffs - Ooltewah and Riverdale primarily for DBHS, Ridgeway and Franklin primarily for Gallatin - but that's my prediction for now.

    • 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.
