Dont really know much about Olive Branch other than they are big, fast, strong, and athletic. I think I have heard this song recently. Bulldogs are going to have to get some help from some of the #2s. Need some reserves to step up and make a bigger contribution. Too many starters are playing both ways. Injury bug is starting to creep up on us. Special teams have given up three blocked punts in the last two weeks. Can't continue to give good teams great field position and expect the defense to go out and clean it up everytime. Need to focus this week on the small things. Stop thinking about the outcome, score, standing, or playoffs. The focus needs to be broken down to the smallest element within the game. Focus on the play. Dominate the play. Concentrate on things like running perfect routes, stepping out with the correct foot, assignments, watching the ball into your hands, wrapping up on tackles. Basics. But more impotantly is the mental aspect. Most of all believe in yourselves. We as fans do! Work hard this week in practice. Challenge yourselves to get better every rep. Go Dawgs!!!

Smyrna really started the season with a meat grinder of a schedule. Olive Branch is ranked #4 in MS...they will be a very good team that is loaded with athletes. I thought Smyrna needed to come out at least 2-2 from these first four games so they should be playing with a lot of intensity.

 

If Smyrna can get healthy I think they'll win it. If they aren't healthy and are playing a lot of guys both ways OB will pull away in the 2d half.

Looks like Olive Branch just took a major blow. News station in Memphis just reported that Olive Branch's football program has been put on probation for playing 4 ineligible players who had transferred from Melrose HS in Memphis over the summer. Going to be interesting to see how this affects them.

The video i have seen they are stacked. Four players is not a set back of much magnitude. Still going to be a very talented team. My Bulldogs are banged up a little and they had the week off. That doesnt make things better. Still I think it will be an all out battle. Go Dawgs!!!

    • 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.
