Glad you guys are safe over at Volunteer. I hope everyone arrives safely and both teams do their best this Friday.

 

A know a few Volunteer parents that were very upset today, and I'm glad that all is okay at your school now. IT's a shame our kids can't go to school and be safe. Nothing is more important than our kids ,and something like this reminds us of that real quick.Good luck to both teams friday night.

Very impressed. I forgot how big those Church Hill boys were. Could not stop #32. Whenever they needed him to go, they just opened him up a big ol' hole and he went. Stopped our running game, or at least slowed it down enough to make us throw. Several dropped balls, also. Also stopped our play action passes with great outside containment. Finally had to stand in the pocket to get the pass off.

 

Only two highlights for Boone:

 

1. The first drive, which ended in a long TD pass to Nick Jones.

 

2. Calvin McCray, who I was told would never play again, sneaking in on special teams. Volunteer punted in the 1st half to Masters and when it looked like the first man downfield for the Falcons was going to nail him for no gain, POW!, from nowhere, #9 came over and knocked the taste out of that guy's mouth. Great to see you out there Calvin.

Ought to add here, that a benefit concert to help with Calvin McCray's staggering medical bills will be held on September 30th at the Appalachian Fairgrounds in Gray, TN, featuring the country group Little Texas. Tickets are $15 reserved seats, $10 dollars gen. admission.

I have learned one thing.................

 

Possibly the worst place to watch a high school game?

 

Volunteer.

 

Don't get me wrong, the Volunteer fans and students were great, and their players, well, they kicked our butts, I won't make excuses.

 

I'm talking about no parking, cramped space between the gate and the concessions, and most of all, what's with the "no one allowed on the track" deal? If you don't even have visitor's stands, and not enough seating capacity for an average high school football game, you could at least let fans stand around the track and watch, since it doesn't obstruct anyone's view.

 

Less than 5 minutes into the game, we had 4 students thrown out of the stadium, their only offense being stepping onto the track in front of our cheerleaders and student section to wave a Boone flag after our TD. No warning to stay off the track, just thrown out.

 

Next, a Volunteer fan, dressed in what appeared to be some type of gorilla suit and a Volunteer jersey stepped onto the end zone to fire the VHS crowd up, on the opposite end of where Volunteer scored, and he was literally chased down, tackled, and handcuffed. Lighten up!

 

Then, our four students who had been tossed for the heinous crime of stepping on the track left, and parked along the road outside the stadium behind the end zone, where there were already 15-20 other cars parked, and stood on their vehicle so they could see the game from a distance. When our student section saw this, they began cheering them. Of course, when Roscoe and Enos and co. spotted this, they dispatched 2 cruisers to confront them and make them leave, even though other fans were out there watching the game as well.

 

To the team and fans at Volunteer, congratulations on a solid win.

To the administration and deputies, get a grip. /mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" />

    • 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.
