I think its because their amazing running back Z. Gibson left. My opinion.

 

Although Zach is a good kid and I think a lot of him and loved watching him run, that is not the problem with Halls. Halls has had a great running back the last few years as well as when Zach was there. He is a senior kid, but by now the coaches know where to key in and he can't seem to make any ground on some games. If Halls had a little more aggression on the line and give a little blocking, that kid would be gone every play.

Their players seemed completely uninspired. Maybe it's time for a coaching change?

 

Presby28 - your right, the kids are uninspired. They tend to get knocked down when they are completely down and lack in receiving motivation. Its a sad thing to watch the spirits broke down in these boys not by their record but by the one running the program.

Well as an avid Karns Beavers supporter, I hope they right the ship against Hardin Valley and get a win. Would really benefit the Beavers for playoff contention and give those guys a much deserved victory.

Karns played a heck of a game Friday night against Halls. Karns was definitely prepared. Best of luck to you guys in the rest of the season.

Maybe there is a lack of leadership amongst the boys. The coaches can yell jump and flip all they want, but if the players don't motivate themselves and each other the team won't get anywhere. In recent years there has always been atleast three or four upperclassmen on the team who were considered leaders by the players and coaches. Whether that was by example or rah rah-ing around to pump everyone else up.

 

Maybe this isn't happening anymore or the other players aren't buying into it? Hmm...

I'm with oledog again. Gibson was a fine athlete and a decent runner. But like he said Pancaked, Halls has had atleast one good running back for as long as I could remember, and without any toughness or aggression in the trenches you simply cannot run the ball. The back can't do it all himself, that's why football is an eleven man sport. One guy doesn't do his job, they all suffer. Unfortunately, if five lineman don't do their job..it's the backs that suffer. Might want to make a few adjustments with the big boys to see if things improve? Can't get much worse...

In today's game you have to have speed. Halls may have a few kids that can run, but not enough of them.

Bingo. Let's be honest - Halls just doesn't have the horses right now, and there isn't a lot that can be done to overcome that. Sure, they may have some attitude issues, but even well-coached teams have a difficult time overcoming a lack of talent, especially on the prep/high school level.

    • 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.
