After watching the MBA BA game, it looked like MBA doesn't have any speed. Maybe BA is just a really fast team. I do think MBA is a well coached team, and considering the fact that MBA beat Ensworth, Ensworth beat BA, then BA put it on MBA, I wonder if they have lost some players to injury this year. Ensworth didn't appear to have much speed either, they just made it a stop the run first kind of game and dared BA to throw the ball and it worked well for them. I would have to give Ensworth a slight razor thin edge. I'll bet it will be a great game to watch.

"Kissing Cousin" game should be a tight one with Ensworth pulling it out by 7.

Only because the "cannot beat a team twice in one season rule" is in effect. If that rule is thrown out, then the game is a toss up.

As much as it pains me, if i had to bet the pension, I'd have to go with the Unwashed as well. They were a good team when MBA just barely beat them, and they've gotten much better since then.

There's a lot of pressure on EHS again, especially after what happened last year. Will they tense up and start pressing if they struggle early? Will there be some "oh no, not again!" moments? MBA needs to get some points on the board early. Risk taking is in order here.

 

that said, this is a really good EHS team...more balanced than the last 2. The QB is really good, and they have a couple of nice WR's to go along with Elder. They also have a lot of speed on defense. Even so, I'd rather take my chances with this group than with the Darkwa/Jefferson team.

 

MBA has to execute at a high level in the passing game. Again, lining up and running off tackle isn't going to work this time around, even if it did last time.

EHS wins this one easily unfortunately

 

the Rodriguez defense will have no answer for Elder...giving up big plays left and right like they have done to BA/MBA/Maplewood (really any team with dynamic play-makers) since the new DC took over in 2008

 

I predict Elder will finish with 250+ yards and 4-5 TD runs of at least 20 yards....wish we had a great coordinator

    • 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.
