Pass yards were actually 182 for Bearden and 132 for Smyrna. and most of those for Smyrna came off of one pass to Wilks. And i will admit that Gray and Wilks are the best QB-WR duo ive seen in hs football. Im glad wilks is going to UT.

 

Why were calls questionable? Because they went against Bearden.

[innocent bystander]

Why were calls questionable? Because they went against Bearden.

 

 

That's what I'm sitting here thinking. There is no way that pass reception was a questionable call. Both of his feet landed either on the line or completely out of bounds. As for the onside kick, I don't see how anyone can say either way. It was a bang-bang play and the refs had to make a call. If you don't agree with it fine, but don't say that cost you the game.

 

If you subscribe to that thinking, I will offer up another line of thinking for the Smyrna fans.

 

The final score SHOULD HAVE BEEN 24-0!

"IF"

A ... Smyrna wide receiver catches the ball that hit him in the hands on 4th down, he walks into the endzone.

B ... Rod doesn't get hit by his own player on Bearden's first score, he takes that int 95 yards to the endzone.

 

Bearden should quit griping and actually count themselves lucky they didn't get shut out...which could have easily happened.

Here is what really happened.

 

"Questionable calls mar Bearden loss at Smyrna 17-14"

 

One could tell it was a first class operation. Upon turning

off Nissan Drive onto Bulldog Drive, visitors were greeted with

light wand-waving attendants who directed them to the next

available parking space. The stadium had ample concrete

bleachers on the visitor???‚¬?„?s side that rivaled many local schools???‚¬?„?

entire complex. The home side was huge. The

restrooms were immaculate. The Smyrna Bulldogs are the reigning

state 5A champs. The infl uence of Nissan money and that of other

fringe businesses that support the huge auto plant just across

the street was apparent. Smyrna High School runs a fi rst class

football operation. This championship experience

became noticeable early in the game as the Bearden Bulldogs

exhibited a mild case of the jitters. After the fi rst possession,

Bearden punted and the coverage broke down, which allowed the

Smyrna speed to set up the fi rst touchdown. Just a little over two

minutes into the game, the Bulldogs

in purple and yellow drew fi rst blood.

Questionable calls mar Bearden loss at Smyrna 17-14 On the ensuing drive, Bearden

experienced what was to become a recurring theme for the night

???‚¬??? the hospitable ???‚¬?“home cooking.???‚¬?? After Brandon Pemberton

burst through the middle of the Smyrna defense to be dragged

down on the Smyrna 26-yard line, Dawson Halliday completed

a pass to Madison English to the 17-yard line only to see the ball

turned over on a questionable fumble call.

The fi rst half ended after a series of Bearden mistakes that

could be attributed to the ???‚¬?“championship jitters???‚¬?? with Smyrna on

top 17-0. The Bearden ???‚¬?“Wrecking Crew???‚¬??

defense settled down in the second half to contain the vaunted Smyrna

offense. The offense seemed to gain its rhythm and the Smyrna

cooks in striped shirts opened up the kitchen. First it was a series

of unfavorable Bearden spots on short yardage situations and then

it became blatantly clear when a Halliday to Darious Dubose pass

was caught for a touchdown and was ruled out-of-bounds.

But it was a touchdown.

Neither team scored in the third quarter. And as time was

ticking away late in the fourth with 3:52 remaining, Cory Eichholtz

caught a Halliday pass that had been tipped by two Smyrna

defenders to tumble into the endzone for Bearden???‚¬?„?s fi rst score.

Bearden kickoff specialist, senior Jon-Michael Craze, set

the ball for the onside kick. The Bulldogs in white executed it to

perfection as Craze???‚¬?„?s kick landed precisely on the 50-yard line and

the Bearden assault team demolished the Smyrna receivers while

the snatchers covered the ball. Bearden worked the ball to the

Smyrna 9-yard line with passes to English and Torey Works. Halliday

hit C.J. Gunn over the middle for Bearden???‚¬?„?s second touchdown

with 1:17 remaining. Brandon Reagan???‚¬?„?s point after kick was good

and the score stood at 17-14. Craze again precisely placed

the ball near the 50-yard line. The Smyrna receiver made the mistake

of jumping forward to the 49 to catch it, only to be upended by

the Bearden assault team. Matt Williamson and Works combined

to recover the kick, only to have the chefs in striped shirts

rule that the ground caused the fumble. Unless the ground had

mysteriously been elevated a foot in the air, this was not the case,

as the ball clearly fell out of the purple-clad Bulldog???‚¬?„?s hands on

his way to the ground. The Wrecking Crew once again

stuffed the Smyrna offense and after some dithering about by

the cooks, Smyrna fi nally punted with 13.7 seconds remaining. The

piddling around by the offi ciating crew had cost Bearden more than

11 precious seconds. And so the dream ended as English

caught a Halliday pass deep in Smyrna territory and was shoved

out of bounds as time expired. If you???‚¬?„?re ever in Smyrna, stay

away from the Zebra Caf???© located at 100 Bulldog Drive. The food is

really lousy there.

 

 

 

All Bearden fans, parents, players, students etc...

Don't worry, TSSAA is aware of this game and it is being investigated. Although we all know that it changes nothing, at the very least those officials have worked their last game. Also, if you haven't allready done so, go to the TSSAA website and click on feedback and say your peace.

SMYRNA FANS: realize that no one is blaming you all for anything. You were also robbed of a clean win with no controversy.

TSSAA is aware. Smyrna administrators made complaints themselves. However, none of it is being inverstigated.
