Carter 3

Webb 5

 

Carter got down 3-0 in the first 10 minutes and battled back to get within 3-4 before Webb scored their final one. Carter has to get better play from their defensive mids and have got to play better possession. There was way too much kicking and running going on from this squad tonight. Sherrod proved once again why he is one of the best players in the state by shredding the defense for two goals, but the rest of the squad better start backing him up or it could be a long season. Maybe this was an off-night so I'm not holding this one game as an outlook to the rest of the seasonl. It was a clean and entertaining match to watch.

I'll add on to G's comments with my observations of the CAK/West match. I thought west controlled play in the first half and put alot of pressure on CAK. They scored a really nice goal off of service to go into halftime 1 - 0. I wasn't expecting to see the second half played out the way it went. I thought west came out aggressive again but within 10-15 mins, CAK started to control play and got the equalizer and continued to finish off 3 more nice goals. It seemed like West slowed down in the 2nd half, I don't know if that was caused by lack of full scrimmages or not. (I believe this was their first scrimmage, and you cannot simulate the intensity that you must maintain in training sessions.) I thought CAK just played much faster in the final 30 and came away with a good result to finish their preseason. I'd expect that West is going to be strong again, maybe a few lumps early in the season till they get some of the rust off. I know how much we improve from the 1st to last scrimmage, and West has a TON of talent. I'd still pick them out of that district right now.

 

Good luck to both squads.

Seymour - 0

Bearden - 11

 

I thought it was a 7:30 kickoff, but got there during halftime with a score of 6 -0. I definitely know how that feels playing bearden when they had us 5 nil in our season opener last year. I can't really speak to the first half since I missed it, but I was told that bearden beat the trap to create their scoring opportunities. Seemed like the same formula in the second half. Bearden did possess a little bit, which is alot for them. Just too much talent to overcome for the Eagles. I know they were missing a few starters and I nocticed one that stood out to me in an earlier match that wasn't there. Problem is depth is always an issue at some point in the season. I have to give Seymour credit, they stood in there and didn't quit, I know bearden wasn't taking its foot off the gas, so I could have been worse had those kids not shown their grit.

 

Again, good luck to both squads.

Kicks off for real next week!!!!

I wont' claim to know the West roster well enough to argue this, but I thought it look like an awful lot of the same players from the first half to the second to me. I know a few starters were still out there. Tanner only came off when he was hurt. Just my observation.

Webb had some dangerous players and I was really happy we kept a clean sheet. Unfortunately I'm sure they were highly motivated to correct that against you guys. Carter will sort this out and be in the hunt in may.

I definitely second what sausy37 and akula21 stated. At the start of the game I saw Patrick Maloney, Michael Williams, Jack McCoy, Tanner Thompsen, Kinley (sp) all on the field. Then in the second half I saw all of them on the field too plus many more of the same players that started.

Ya'll be easy on me haha. That was an old-fashioned butt whoopin'. I just stayed for the first half of the scrimmage, and Bearden was dominant. It was 6-0 at half. I believe Bearden's first goal came about 1 minutes in off a nice shot just outside the 18. It looked defendable, but the Seymour keeper couldn't get to it. It seemed like Seymour hung their heads a little after that one and another goal followed quickly (probably within the next minute). Talent-wise, Bearden was far superior and played with a ton of offensive pressure. Seymour had about 4 or 5 shots in the first half, but none were good looks. Seymour definitely missed the two starters, one a forward and one an attacking mid. There was some incontinuity in the offense, and I think some of that can be attributed to a few players being moved to different position to try and fill the gaps. The rest was caused by Bearden's pressure lol. Seymour is a young team with definite room for improvement, but I believe they will be a force come tournament time. Sportsmanship was great on both sides during the half I observed. While 11-0 is a tough pill to swallow, I believe the Seymour squad learned a lot and it was definitely a helpful building block for the season. Good luck to Bearden as you begin your season next 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.
