All the above posts had been intended as a playful jab at Mr. Utt whom by the way is a dear friend of mine and neighbor as well. Anyone who has taken this to any other level and called to question this really needs to get a freakin' life. Utt is a very qualified trainer and has cared for my son and gone above and beyond for him and others on the team. NONE of this should have promted anyone else to get involved with this situation but for a brief moment, I forgot that people from Morristown read this board and have nothing better to do than to try to stir the pot.

The srimmage was played in a game format. East went 3 and out and a fumbled bad snap on the punt gave Bearden a TD. The next series, a blocked punt set them up around the 20 for another TD. We went down 14-0 and our D had barely been on the field. Bearden put together another long drive for a 21-0 lead and East picked off a pass and took it around 70 yards for a TD and was driving for another score as the clock ran out. Final 21-7.

 

I knew coming in that this may be the best offense we face all season and our D was my concern. They bent but did not break. They actually gave up 7 points and special teams gave up 14.

Our offense looked decent moving the ball and Cody Ricker broke off some great runs.

 

Grade Card:

Special Teams: A big fat F

Defense: C

Offense C

Overall: C-

 

 

In the 3 games we lost last year, special teams cost us points. We will have a long year if this is not corrected.

Canefan 72, I sat right behind you at the scrimmage with my son. I have to agree with the punting problem,

In 2 scrimmage it has looked bad. The #1 problem is the long snap, it never gets to the punter.

 

I did see some bright spots in the secondary. # 11 ,# 84, # 30, #2, and #10 looked good.

What's up with #1 & #14, I was hoping we would get more out of them. The defense will be

fine with a few player adjustment.( may have to move some guys to different spots)

 

GO CANES!

    • 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.
