Centennial @ Gallatin

Alright, folks. Here we go, the playoffs are here.

 

Gallatin (8-2) comes off a close win against McGavock, and Centennial (7-3) enters into this game after losing to rival Franklin.

 

Thoughts?

 

As far as history goes, Centennial traveled to Gallatin in November of '02, and the Green Wave came out on top that time (I believe the final was 24-14). I remember how great both crowds were, and I expect nothing less this time.

Better work on that defense chs told ya that you all were very weak on defense ans can be exposed. Gallatin does not ha ve near talent as fhs

 

 

I would actually beg to differ.

 

After the initial two drives, Centennial's defense played very well against Franklin, but three 2nd half interceptions at midfield made it tough for the Cougar D to make any stops on such a short field.

 

Yes, they did let up some unacceptable big plays (especially in the run game), but it was turnovers that doomed the Cougars tonight, not defense.

 

Anyone got any info on Gallatin?

On offense they run out of the shotgun every play most of the time with wideouts both sides. They spread you out and then run it down your throat with their outstanding QB Cody Matthews and their 1000 yd RB Sanchez Holder. They have a very good offensive line, the best I saw all year. They will throw around 10 times a game. On defense they have struggled recently so I see this as a high scoring game at least in the 30,s.

Man ya'll got this one started early....

 

After listening to the coaches breakfast, it sounds like Centennial and Gallatin matchup sizewise on the lines. The Cougars have a really good kicking game and a very explosive offense. They seem to like the big play while Gallatin is more smashmouth. The big difference between these two teams is speed. Centennial is faster than any team we have faced. Scales maybe the fastest guy playing in 5-A. He is a track champion. The description of Scales was a Terrance Davis with discipline, not a good combo for Gallatin. The runningback, whos name escapes me, is almost as quick. The big tightend/wideout, Kelly, has deceptive speed and a huge height advantage. They got wore out last night in the second half but I still think Franklin is the best team in the state. So no shame there. Pretty much a mirror image of Gallatin but a lot faster.

    • 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.
