Whitwell and Silverdale

I said last week that Whitwell needed to have a good defensive game and they failed to do that in their loss to GBA. I think this week is similar. The Tigers can't keep playing uninspired on defense and hope to win ballgames. Last week I would have given the Tigers good odds to win the game this week against Silverdale, but after Silverdale stayed close to Lookout Valley, I'm not so sure. Whitwell has a big line, but they don't seem to be in a hurry to tackle anyone. One team will step up and make the playoffs, the other gets ready for roundball. Which team is more hungry to stay alive? I hope it's the Tigers, but we'll see Friday night.

I think this is a dangerous game for SD. If the come out and play complacent, then they will lose. They think that this playoff spot will just be handed to them, and that is not the case. Whitwell will come to play. Lowery is def the key to getting the offense going. Hopefully SD will be aggressive early and start well, because it would be easy to start flat after an emotional loss to LV last week. I'll go Silverdale by 10

I think that Silverdale wins this one... and their prize you may ask? A trip to Gordonsville, Yah /blush.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />

 

I haven't kept up with Silverdale but what happened? Many expected them to be a darkhorse to take the region crown and while i realize that this year has been groundbreaking by Silverdale standards it hasn't nearly been the expected. Many expected them to challenge South Pitt for the region title and some region 3 fans even said that if Silverdale got second then region 3 might go 2-2 against region 4....

 

Did the big guys who sat out last year just not pan out? what happened...

I don't think most people expected them to challenge for top spot just yet but definitely for 2nd and 3rd which they did losing to Grace early in the season 48-35 and Lookout Valley last week 20-14. They were pretty close to being 3rd in the region (maybe tied for 2nd) when they gave LV all that they wanted only losing in the last qtr. They played SP pretty tough for the first half, I was a little nervous in the 1st qtr. They had a solid core of returning players and the kids that sat out last year have definitely helped. I don't think they have enough horses to beat G'ville but I would not suggest overlooking them either.

    • 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.
