You Beech fans sure do sound confident, but I can't say anything cause I haven't seen Beech play. But when a team's defense shuts out another team and holds them to under thrity yards, that should tell you something when it was in the semi-finals of the playoffs. Shows something about the defense.

 

Oh and the offense can step up and march down the field all night long, the offense just tried out some new things last night. They still have another week to progress and learn from mistakes, which they will.

 

Go Lions!

Just a FYI, most of the posters predicting a Beech win aren't from Beech, but high school football fans that probably saw a game or two during the regular season. The Bucs players and coaches know that this will be a hard fought game. Beech has the utmost respect for Columbia and looks forward to the challenge of facing a #1 seed. IMO, this has the makings of an exciting championship game between two ball control teams.

if you plan on running it against Columbia you might want to rethink...their front seven is

scary...I seriously doubt they have given up 200 rushing yards in four playoff games

combined. Their weakness is their secondary if you got a qb with a good arm and lots

of calm in the pocket cause they started blitzing since they dont cover so well

I was extremely impressed with the Lion's defense last night. Fleming and Goff were outstanding at LB and they were deep in the D-line. I wasn't as impressed with the offense or at least the play calling. Fumble in the red zone on the first drive after marching right down the field in one formation and go to the Wilcat and fumble. Scored a touchdown and then went back to the Wildcat for whatever reason. Intercept a pass and take it inside the red zone and come away with no points. I thought Bryant Belew was under utilized. It should have been 21-0 or 17-0 at halftime. Left a lot of points on the field.

 

CHS won with defense last night. Good job Lions! Represent.

 

Belew was lucky to play man, he was coming off a knee injury from the anderson gm. That may be the reason why, but expect him to shine in STATE!

Ive watched Columbia in three of their four playoff games and probably six or seven

times overall. They are very hard to run against. In all three playoff games the

opposition gave up running and basically just threw on every down. The problem with

that is two things...once you get in the red zone there isn't much room to pass

and when you throw on every down you invited holding calls, chop block calls,

procedure calls, interceptions, and qb sacks. Its definitely true that Columbia's

opponents get flagged a lot but thats because they expose their lineman by having

to pass block so much. Making it even tougher is the fact that Columbia is very

hard to block cause they are big, quick, and fast. If you don't hold them or go low

to cut them you will have a quarterback in a world of hurt.

I also noticed that Columbia has made a few changes in their secondary which really

seemed to help. They picked Sullivan South off three times

    • 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.
