It turned out to be great game where Tullahoma actually dominated the 2nd half, but could score only 3pts. In other opportunities in the red zone, the Cats fumbled on a busted play around the Lion 15 yd line and had other chances to score and just couldn't get it done. Tullahoma proved they can play with the top ranked team in the state. Columbia has a fine offense and a trio of excellent receivers and the Lions made some big play at big times. There's a possibility these teams could meet again in the playoffs. Next up for the Cats will be a friday nite contest in Manchester in the Coffee Pot game against the Coffee Co Red Raiders. Tullahoma is now 1-2 on the season, but could be 3-0. The Lions are 3-0 and I'm sure they will still be ranked #1 next week. My defensive player of the game for Tullahoma was Allen Starks and on offenes it was Jared Davis. I'm still up at this time because I came home and watched the replay of the tv game at home.

I questioned some of the calls Thursday nite, but after watching the replay, I think most of the calls were legit, except one. I thought Tullahoma had recoverd a Columbia fumble and when the players were unstacked, Allen Starks of Tullahoma was at the bottom of the pile with the football and gave it to the officials, but they ruled Columbia had recovered the fumble. Columbia is a very good football team and made some big plays when they had to, but overall I thought Tullahoma was the better team that night. I hope the Cats will get another chance to play the Lions. If Tullahoma has that same kind of effort the rest of the season, they should make the playoffs. I was especially pleased with the defensive effort against one of the best offenses in the state. The offense moved the ball against a very good Columbia defense and the game plan was much more like the scheme used in the McGavock game which the Cats won with ease. I guess the question is will the Cats provide the same effort against Coffee Co in the Coffee Pot rivalry game next Friday nite in Manchester? Its homecoming also for the Red Raiders and they would love to beat Tullahoma and get their first win of the season. Last season in Tullahoma, the Cats had to rally from 22pts down in the 4th quarter to get a win over their longtime rivals.

It seems like officating always seems to rear its ugly head in these games. Remember last year on a QB bootleg, where it fooled the ref into blowing a early whistle. This years game seem to hinge on the questable pass interference in the back of the end zone. Did the Columbia receiver talk the offical into throwing a flag?

It sure did look like an afterthought. First rule of officiating, call only what you see and never call anything you don't. :popcorneater:

The referee actually threw a flag before the receiver said anything to him. It was his blue flag that he threw on accident. Then he threw his yellow.

 

So your saying the ref threw a blue bag before the kid said something and a flag after the receiver said something? Like a said it looked like an afterthought. Not to mention a very close call to even being interference. Does't change the fact Tully fumbled the game away after totally controlling three quarters of the game. :popcorneater:

After watching the replay, one of the Tullahoma defenders did push the receiver in the back and the reason for the late flag was the official reached into his pocket and pulled out his beanbag, so he had to reach again for the flag. I apologize for doubting the official on that call and as in most cases, the officials do get it right.

      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.
