Oh, man. I loved Cas & the boys. Red Rector. Loved Looney Tunes, too. Would also loved to have seen this game. Got to see CAK & AHS this year. Both teams were very good. This second game must have been classic.

I feel drained and still somewhat emotional about it all right now so I'll not say too much until I watch the film, sleep on it, and post with a clearer head tomorrow.

 

1)Congratualtions to Alcoa. You did what you had to do to win. You put a great deal of pressure on our QB and held CAK to one of its lowest scores in the 10 years of our program. I believe Alcoa shut us out in 2006, but we have to go all the way back to 2002 to find another game where we were held to just 3 pts. We let some scoring opportunities slip through our fingers, we've just got to find a way to carpe diem (seize the moment).

 

2)Congratulations to CAK. Boy, you are my WARRIORS! Very proud of all you guys. Can't say enough, especially about how the defense buckled down tonight and stepped up big. You left every ounce out there on the field and thats all I or anyone should ever ask. Proud of you. You looked Alcoa right in the eye and played them toe to toe. Those Tornadoes know they were in a game tonight against a pretty darn good and scrappy team. With the exception of 3 games with Maryville ( which they only scored 13,14 & 14), Alcoa hasn't been held to just 14 points by another school since 2003.

 

 

3)The gap narrowed again tonight, just not enough for CAK to win, but certainly enough to earn more respect in the football community. Take notice: CAK is more than just a finesse team.

 

Hope Alcoa takes it all again this year. Go rep the region like you always do. :thumb:

Great Game! The old saying that "defense wins championships" is true. CAK played as good as game defensively against Alcoa than anyone in recent memory. Very good plan by the Warriors. Alcoa's defense played very will also. If CAK hauls in a couple of those bombs, might be a different story. Nix had his guys ready to go.

 

But in the end, it was the Alcoa running game to the rescue. The second half, Alcoa took over on the LOS. Long drives consuming huge amount of time kept the CAK offense off the field and limited their chances. No question they are the two best teams on this side of the bracket.

 

I agree that state needs to rethink the playoff system and consider some kind of cross-bracketing configuration. Back in the early 90's, there was cross braketing where teams from the same region would not see each other again until the semis.

 

I hope the kid who was injured late for CAK is OK. Somebody from CAK keep everyone updated.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
