BA @ Briarcrest

BCS has a beautiful facility, best in shelby county and probably west TN...they have also had two weeks to prepare...normally thats a bright spot, but when you are playing BA, two months might not be enough.

It is worth noting that David Holbert the big BA runningback suffered a concussion last week, so who knows if he can play.

BA 45

Briarcrest 8

 

All respect to Briarcrest...they have a strong D2-AA team and I think they will have another successful season. That being said, however, they don't stand much of a chance tonight. BA will win for a couple reasons:

1)Frustration. Last week HURT. They are ready to get back on painted grass and hit somebody. And that's what they will do.

2)Quickness. The Saints do not possess the quickness necessary to get the job done against the lightning-fast Eagles.

3)BA's Developed Running Game. I do not know whether or not Holbert will play, but his injury allowed Darren Mustin to come into the game and do some damage last week. With his experience helping the Eagles, they shouldn't even have to throw a pass (but they will).

Brentwood Academy has more talent in general. Best of luck to both teams, but I don't see this one being too close.

Almost got it right!

Prediction: BA 45, Briarcrest 8

Actual: BA 42, Briarcrest 7

If you were at the game, tell me about it. I was not, but I received updates every quarter.

 

This was a very onesided contest. BA's starters were out early in the 3rd quarter. Both offense and Defense looked great. First string defense held Briarcrest scoreless. Tyler Griffin had a night for the scrapbook with a kickoff returned for a touchdown and two interceptions. Runningbacks and passing game looked wellbalanced and awesome. Offensive line blew open some big holes. Adcock had a very nice night. Nice tune up for a bigger challenge next week.

Texson, thanks for the response. Sounds like it wasn't exactly a barnburner (what 42-7 game IS?). I agree, this was definitely a good tuneup for a bigger and better team in MUS, who I don't know much about (see "MUS" thread), but they seem to be good judging from the teams they've beaten and the margins by which they won (21 vs. Jackson Prep, MS and 24 vs. Harding Academy).

Furthermore, that was a long sentence.

Any Briarcrest players/fans? What were your impressions of the game? What lies in store for you guys? Best wishes to you as you continue your season. Do some damage in D2-AA.

    • 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.
