If I remember right o4 went 8-1 they lost their opener to Smyrna on the last play of the game and then won the rest including winning the lions bowl in Tullahoma! :thumb:

Smyrna had also already played 2 games that year prior while it was Riverdale's opener that night. Got to give Sonny Grey his props though, he played a heckuva game that night after losing his father that week and dodged so many tackles that final play.

well...the team that lost in the semi finals last year as freshman might have won 1 or 2 games so the freshman teams dont hold much water...

 

Your making my point and thank you, what I am saying is that there were players from that squad that you could see would have an impact as juniors and seniors. :popcorneater:

While I agree about bragging on Freshmen football, I do believe it gives you some insight to what is comming down the road. What would be intresting to know is how your Freshmen teams four years before the good varsity years. :popcorneater:

 

I dont know about that. Smyrna's 08 freshman team won it all in pretty convincing fashion. I don't think will translate into a state championship next year. Just means those players were well ahead of the rest. So much time has passed. I think it all evens out over the years. Coaching has a lot to do with also.

You are right on the money about Sonny Gray, tdntn.

    • 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.
