The defense looked pretty good. I thought they looked quick to the ball. They missed some tackles here and there and gave up a few passes. Overall, they played well. DB played the entire game without their starting QB who got hurt on their second play on offense.

 

Halls will have a huge test this coming Tuesday when they scrimmage Catholic.

Back in the day, Halls always had a very tough defense. When teams would look on their schedule and see Halls, they just knew they were in for a dog fight!

I am not sure if the defense is where Coach Julian wants it to be, but it was hard hitting and flying to the ball. I still think Halls is undersized up front. They got pushed around at times. I am looking forward to the season. I think Halls might get back to winning more than they lose this year.

I think you are right. Halls looked very good against Maryville last year until the fourth quarter. I believe if Halls had opened up with another team other than Maryville, their season would have been alot different.

i heard halls defense looked very good last night at dobyns bennett, and that the first team shut there all-state running back down and they didnt have a single touchdown

You guys did a good job but I will have to say this. We looked nothing like what we do in practice. The qb did get hurt and our RB did not run the ball much, which we did not figure he would. We were so out of sink every where on the field!!! We showed our in-experience, thats for sure. 95 percent of these guys have never played a varsity game That's why Clark should have went deeper in his bench last year. We have our work cut out this year for sure. It's not a lack of talent it's just NO experience!!!!! Good Luck Guys in your season!!!!!

Clark could't go deep on the bench I heard was the games were all close except Oak Ridge game.

You can't put the 2nd or 3rd string in when the game is still in doubt.I think the indians learned that last year in the Mcminn Co. play off game.

That was one of those games,that if you watched it over on tape,you expect Dobyns Bennett to not loose the game again{it's not real}.I have heard every reason why we lost to Mcminn CO,even somebody saying the band didn't do enough.I love the band and it wasn't the kids in the band's fault. I did even notice the director not cranking up the band as much when we had the ball last year,that's a good thing!! It was just a freak game we should have won.......

Good luck to you as well. I don't read too much into the scrimmage. I was glad to see Halls not back down and I liked how they played hard. I am sure the early injury to your QB made an impact. It may have even made the coaches hesitant about running your best RB too much. I have a feeling DB will be as strong as always come regular season.

 

I hope the Halls boys gained some confidence from the scrimmage but maiintain a good working attitude instead of becoming cocky.

    • 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.
