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

 

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.

 

I'm not sure if they "counted" or not...may have been Varsity vs. JV or something. Hey...what do I know...I was a high school sophomore in California at the time! It would not hurt my feelings to be wrong, nor would it be the first time.

BA did have an insane amount of penalties in the 1st half- a couple of holding calls, about 3 blocks in the back, at least one false start, and a terrible pass interference call. Their QB play was shaky last night, but I'm confident will improve in time. They are rotating two kids- one is more of an option QB, but the primary kid is only a Soph. The running game is extremely powerful and effective. Jordan is very hard to bring down and even if you stuff him a couple of times he'll break a long one eventually. Independance offense did not look good. Their TD was on a long pass off of a recovered fumble. Otherwise they moved the ball very little. The score was 21-7 at the half. If it wasn't for a BA fumble on the goal line it would have been 28-7.

Old man.

 

And I was on a steady diet of baby formula at the time. I think I may have missed a few games that year myself.

 

I'll do some research on the side and see what I can figure out.

Game finished at 35-14, BA. Chris Jordan had another TD (4 total) and was pretty effective on the ground. Soph RB Josh Tate got the other TD. The defensive line had at least a couple of sacks and did a good job putting pressure on the QB.

 

Independance I believe will face MBA next week. I imagine they will have a hard time beating MBA b/c they too have a powerful line and strong running game. BA will get ready to face Ravenwood (another pass happy offense) at home next Friday night. I'm sure it will be a packed house.

    • 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.
