That's pretty much still the case. There is parking behind the old home side that doesnt fill up too fast, but you have to pay $5 i think. Other than that, there is parking at the Community Center, behind the Courthouse, and up at the Ray Viles Ford lot....but you may have to pay @ the Ray Viles Ford lot too. Im not 100% sure on that one. If you can, i say get there around 6 and everything should be o.k. but this a big game and there might be alot of people there even earlier than that. I plan on getting there around 5:30 or 5:45 myself.

 

Thanks for the info, Dragon. I wondered if that was still a problem. I was planning on getting there around 6:15, so I'll probably leave a bit earlier. I'm curious to see what kind of turn out there will be. With the kids out trick-or-treating and with CSS carrying the game, I doubt there will be the same turnout I was originally expecting. I had forgotten that a lot of kids and their parents will be out on the town. At least it won't be that cold.

Powell will win this battle my friends.

Im Sorry

 

Well you are right on the point that this will be a battle.. but with hazelhurst back and the number of weapons that clinton has one the field.. There is no way that powell can cover every singe one of them.. if you lock down one, one of the other players will get you.. Face it, Clinton is stacked and if they beat you last year with the team they had.. wait till you see this team....

That is definitely the real challenge that Powell faces tonight. Obviously, they can't completely shutdown the Clinton offense. There are just too many weapons. Last year, Hazelhurst ran wild on Powell's defense, and that was the difference, in the end. The Panthers simply have to find a way to slow him down. Since their loss to Maryville, the Panther defense has done an excellent job of forcing their opponents to grind it out, rather than giving up a ton of big plays. Clinton was forced to grind it out last week, and they got the job done. However, Powell has a much more potent offense than Central.

 

Clinton's gameplan should be simple - put pressure on Kier Houston. Maryville did just that, and he was completely ineffective. On the flipside, Kier torched Halls in the 1st half of their game a couple of weeks later. The Halls linebackers played containment football in the 2nd half, which slowed Kier down, but he was able to pick them apart in the secondary. Powell has established a running game by committee, which does not rely on one tailback. However, this offense lives and dies by the performance of Kier Houston, and he has been unbeatable for the past 5 weeks.

 

Good luck to both teams tonight, and I look forward to a great game! Go Panthers!

powell comes out of halftime and scores twice. once on their first possesion and then once after a long interception return and they now lead 32-30. the announcer said weston might be done for the game and so is tacket which is def not good at all, weston had a really solid first half and rushed for nearly 100 yards. stone just threw another pick and has doubled his int total for the season the last two throws. clinton looks like theyre in trouble right now and really need either a big stop or a big turnover and their offense needs to get going or their gonna get blown out in the second half.

    • 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.
