If anybody in Nashville is still reading this site, who is interested in Nick Pollard? It was the general

consensus around me that we had never seen a better HS kicker. Some of his kicks (in particular the high ones) were like watching a beautiful firework. We were reduced to oohs and aahs.

Div II has some kicking talent this year. Fletcher hit 2 kicks of 40+ yards against Ensworth, on top of 2 solid seasons as the MBA kicker. His consistency is not what you might want, but it's important to remember that MBA has used him in a lot cases where ordinarily you wouldn't dream of trying a FG. I'm comfortable with any MBA game that comes down to kicking.

I agree -- Acosta from CBHS is very good as is Kauffmann from MUS. Pollard was 7 of 8 from over over 40 (five of six from inside 40) according to another website. He also uses the lower college tee for his kick-offs which takes away a little height but is something college coaches like to see. The championship game should be a great one.

It hasn't been that long ago that a 40 yd field goal was really out of the ordinary. I think I saw Gary Mitchell from Hendersonville hit one that long in maybe '72 (straight on, of course...very few soccer style kickers). Bellevue had a longer one, around 50 yds, against Goodlettsville, but it was from a tee on a free kick after a fair catch (there's an obscure rule for you). Now 40 yds is something of a yardstick. If you can't hit that, you really don't have much of a kicking game.

Wrangler615 - I'm beginning to think that the MUS internet webcast site will never be "up" again. If you can figure out a way to get your address to me without compromising our privacy to this site, I gladly will send you a video of the game. I just finished perusing it and have a bit to add to what I already said.

I saw nothing that changed my mind about the 3 bogus pass interference calls against MUS. What is

curious is that the same ref made all 3 calls. My pregame call that Pollard's stronger leg than Kauffman would have no effect of the outcome was accurate. All of Pollard's kicks were touchbacks, so MUS always

started on the 20. However, after 6 MUS KOs, FR started on the 14, 15, 20, 21, 20 and 20. Moreover, Kauffman kicked 3 FGs to Pollard's 2. I consider that basically a "wash." Since I bolted out at the final horn, I missed a touching postgame Christian fellowship prayer meeting at midfield with players from both teams but saw it on the video. I hope it eased the FR players' disappointment at having their season end.

      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.
