Could tonight be the night .... Will BA fall to a Williamson Co team? Why is it that Franklin had to play McCallie next week instead of BA.

 

One day .... One day FHS will get their shot at the Granny White Wonders!!!!

 

LOL.... Granny White Wonders!?? Not sure I've heard of that one. Has Franklin not played BA before? I find that hard to believe....

 

 

whats the record BA has? i forgot exactly what it was. Are they undefeated in the county?

BA has never lost to a county team. Go to hsfdatabase.com.

 

I ended up making the trip and sacrificing a week's worth of meal money in the process, only for it to rain for the first time since what seems like 1996.

 

?

 

BA up 21-7 at half. BA started out dominating the game, but they are completely one-dimensional. The QB situation is very shaky...Indy stacking the box and protecting against the run was fairly effective, though Jordan did have 146 yards in the first half alone.

 

The drive before half for BA was huge. Indy offense is sputtering and it's obvious to me that Pettigrew isn't anywhere close to 100% and I have no idea why his long-term health is being risked in a non-region game. Even if he is 100%, he's rusty. It's hard though because 60% Pettigrew is better than putting Consiglio back there considering that he'd be going both ways in 102 degree heat. The kid's a great player and he'd do fine, but you need him on defense in the 4th quarter. Meeker will be good eventually but right now he's too young so it's extremely difficult to decide as a coach.

 

Of course, since the kids aren't playing 4 quarters tomorrow (or tonight, whichever you prefer), that fatigue stuff gets thrown out the window in a way.

 

Also, the players will certainly be sore from the half they played...will this play a factor at all?

 

Indy passing offense was extremely anemic. Baugh needs more touches! How many times do I have to say that? Cordell's vision seemed to be lacking tonight...he did a decent job escaping pressure and several of his incompletions were just throwing the ball away, but he focused only on throws to his left.

 

I think BA gets the opening kick after everything resumes tomorrow night. We'll see what halftime adjustments the coaches have in store. They've certainly had enough time to think about it.

From BA's own football guide...Fairview 24, BA 3 in 1970. Anyways, hasn't happened for a long time.

 

I was thinking the same thing about the "fairly effective" run defense. Jordan averaged over 8 yards per carry!

With all due respect, the Indy line was getting destroyed by the BA line. There was not a lot Pettigrew could do. Cordell's vision was lacking due to lack of time. Also, one dimension seemed plenty. The only thing that stopped a BA rout, were lots of penalties, turnovers and a perfectly thrown TD pass and catch by Indy.

itzme, the media guide I was sent a couple of years ago showed BA as being 1-0-2 in 1970, with five other games with an asterisk being against non-varsity competition. It also showed BA as 2-0-0 all-time versus Fairview in the All-Time Versus Opponents section.

 

If those five games (in which BA went 2-3-0) do count, if someone will let me know, I'll change it on the site. While I'm not 100% sure, it seems like Flatt's record, when announced/written in the media, excluded those five games.

There's no doubt Jordan ran all over them, especially on the first two series. However, on the second and third series, Indy buckled down and stopped BA and actually forced punts, including one snap that went over the punters' head...great play by that kid by the way. I thought that the defensive sets on those drives were fairly effective.

 

BA played extremely sloppy football last night. Let's hope--for their sake--that they tone down the penalties as the season progresses.

    • 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.
