I've heard a lot of bad things about East's new coach. But, he definetley is working those kids hard. I drove by East High tonight after 7, and the team was out there running gassers in complete darkness. That means they had already been practicing for about four hours. yikes

I am sooooo proud of the Indians, but the rest of the season does concern me. I think that Humboldt and JCM took for granted that NS would be an easy win and looked past us to other games. That will no longer happen and NS must be ready for every game they play. The boys took the Hardin Co. loss hard and have been able to build off of that. We must play good ball at East. Even though it is not a region game, it can show us how the other region will look for playoffs. Is that region really as down as people are saying??? I don't know. What I do know is that a win will do bunches for our confidence and a loss will have us regrouping before a big region game against Brighton.

Well they can't start practice until 4 because of study hall. Remember that this is not as talented a team as last years. He is playing a lot of young guys. Quite a few are ninth graders, and they were not able to conduct a spring practice. Don't take this team lightly. They are capable of beating Northside. They have actually been getting better.

East has definately descended the past two years, but the one thing they do have going for them is that Qb Brandon Small is still there. That guy is a playmaker. If Northside contains him then they win easily. If they don't....it could be a long ride home for the indians

Watch out N.S. even though they aren't as good as last year they can win with their QB and receivers. They tried to out score Millington, but lost because they didn't have any defense. The SIDE should run the ball and keep it away from Small, the QB, and burn up the clock force East to play catch up also be ready to play pass defense. Good luck and win for region 7.

A big win for East tonight. Could it be that the reported demise of Memphis East football is a bit premature?

Hey I told you they were getting better. They still have a long way to go. Made tons of mistakes tonight. It really should have been more lopsided, but we'll take what we can get right now. Go MUSTANGS!! Go Region 8!!

    • 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.
