Harpeth @ Lipscomb

Harpeth played their butts off tonight. In a great high school basketball environment, they took it right to Lipscomb and had the momentum going into the last 2 minutes of the game. To Lipscomb's credit, they did what they had to do. Harpeth left it on the floor and could smell state, but it was not to be. Lipscomb got the game to OT and won it 75-68.

 

I can't describe how proud I am of this Harpeth team. In the talent area, this years version wouldn't rank as high as probably the last 4 or 5 teams. They made up for it in heart and desire, team chemistry and awesome senior leadership. It was everything that high school basketball should be. Thank you Indians.

 

 

Those of you who came out tonight saw a GREAT high school basketball game! That is what the Sub-State/Sectional game is supposed to be about. 2 teams playing every possession like it was their last. It was a well played game, hard fought and a GREAT atmosphere from both crowds to top it off.

 

Hats off to Lipscomb, who made the plays down the stretch to win. To Harpeth, Congratulations on a well played game and a great season; use this as a stepping stone for the future.

Of course I am a CPA fan.....but still need my basketball fix! So I was at this game. Lipscomb should have dominated, but they did not....until the end....which they do best! I have to say again their backseat players are their players....if it were not for #2 the redhead kid, #23, and the Bell kid Lipscomb would not being going to State! I have to be honest and say that I really didn't want Lipscomb to win, but they really deserve to be where they are and I commend them! That was hard to say! Go 9AA!

Again, I think that the Harpeth team has not been given the praise that they deserve!

I agree Harpeth played like they would be the team going to state.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
