I would LOVE to see this game as it could very well determine the region champs this year. Both teams are well-coached and VERY physical. I was very impressed with Coach Nunley at the helm, and the raiders. He is continuing all the good things that Price instilled in this program. This is good news for CC fans, and not so good for the rest of us. I expect this one to go to the wire. While I am a fan of big Jerry Joslin, I hope the Red Raiders pull this one out. After losing a heartbreaker to us last ight, they deserve it.

Sounds like Coffee has been playing well this season. Haven't seen them or anything and I thought they were supposed to be down a little this year but doesn't look that way. That said I still think Cookeville is too strong. Cookeville runs to many things on offense to lock down one or two players. They are very balance in the run/pass game. I like Cookeville by 14+.

14 points sounds a little steep to me. Cookeville may win the game, it's tough to win at Cookeville as an opponent, but 14 is a little steep considering the Cavs haven't beaten Coffee County by that much in a while. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a couple of years ago up there Cookeville won by 10, I think? And last year the Raiders won. That being said, the Raiders really made a believer out of me last night against Oakland. And I think they made believers out of a lot of folks. Perhaps the most productive loss in Red Raider history (Although I'm not big at all on moral victories). I think Coffee County is starting to sense it can play with anybody - and that's half the battle. I think the Raiders win. But it will be tough. Great crowd in Putnam County and a well coached, athletic, Cavalier squad. Should be a lot of fun. It's too early to pick a score, though. Let's wait until later in the week for that.

Cookeville should be glad they're catching us early in the season, because this CC team is improving greatly every week. Defense was good against Shelbyville....very good against Oakland....? against Cookieville. Now about the O??? O--line has improved, but still has a way to go. The score... about the same as last year one way or the other.

5A Football Fan I understand I did say the same thing last year and I will admit I was wrong. The Cookeville team last year was very average and I honestly think that Cookeville has a chance to be as good as they were three years ago come playoff time. Im not taking anything away from Coffee I know they always have a strong team and play hard. But if Cookeville plays like they can I do not think Coffee can hang with them for 4 quarters.

 

I haven't heard much about Coffee football. Who are there good players to watch? Still run the wing-t or change?

Still in the wing ... fullback - Justin Kanjanabout .... it's really more about the defense right now - for the first time in a long time. The offense has struggled. 20 points against Shelbyville (missed PAT) and seven points against Oakland, granted Oakland has the best defense CHS will see all season ... with the exception of Lincoln County, perhaps?! ... But the Raider defense has been great. Held Precious Valentine under 80 yards and B.J. Nelson under 50 last week.

    • 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.
