I know Halls has not started hitting yet, but does anyone know how the first few days of practice have gone? The skill guys looked fair in the passing league. How do the lineman look?

 

I will try to get to a practice one day this week. I am also planning to go to DB this Friday.

 

Does Clinton have any scrimmages this week?

I had to go back a few pages to find this thread. Not much talk lately about this matchup. I guess most consider it a blow out.

 

I have seen one Halls practice and two scrimmages. i now think Halls might be be a playoff contender. I am not sure how many 5A teams get in from our district. I think it is three. Clinton would have to be considered the favorite for #1. Halls, Central, AC and Powell are probably in the running for the other two spots. I think CC is the only other 5A school. I have heard they might be down a little this year, but I am not sure.

 

As for the Clinton - Halls game: Halls has done well against a couple good opponents in scrimmages, but I still think Clinton has too many weapons. Halls would have to find a way to outscore Clinton and I don't see that happening based on the two scrimmages. (3 Tds for the first string) I would have to say Clinton by 2 TDs. I will still be pulling for my Red Devils. Who knows? a couple of INT's by the quick Halls secondary and things could get crazy.

I said this a month ago before all the scrimmages started......Halls is a very dangerous team to start the season off with. You never know which way the ball is going to bounce. I believe Halls is going to be in the top 3 of the district when the season is over. :thumb:

I don't know if Halls is good enough to strike fear in anyone, but they are playing better football. So far, they are playing pretty stingy on defense and, with an improved passing attack, the offense might put up a few more points.

 

We'll see.

 

Clinton, Seveir Co, Powell, Webb and Oak Ridge make for a pretty tough first half of the season.

Having a good defense will keep you in alot of games, and if the score is close....anything is possible!

    • 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.
