Harpeth (7-3) at Sequatchie County (7-3)

 

Nicknames: Indians and Indians

 

Coaches: Harpeth’s Doug Loope, Sequatchie’s Chad Barger

 

The season: Harpeth started out 6-0 but then lost back-to-back games to Sycamore and Camden. They actually finished the year losing three of four games with the last loss coming Friday at Cheatham County. They have scored as many as 54 points in a game (also hitting 40-plus on two other occasions) but have held opponents to nine or fewer points only twice. Sequatchie’s losses are to playoff teams South Pittsburg and Bledsoe County and two Signal Mountain, which would have been a class 4A factor if not for having to vacate six wins because of an ineligible player. The Indians scored a season-high 64 points against Marion County and gave up 56 to Signal in their final regular season game.

 

Playoffs: Sequatchie has made the playoffs each of the last three years and advanced last year to the second round with an upset of neighbor Bledsoe County. Harpeth, which has 16 playoff seasons, was out of the postseason last year but went 1-1 in 2009. They have never played a Chattanooga area team in the playoffs.

This should be a good matchup. However, I think the Sequatchie will have the overall speed advantage, and has played the tougher schedule. Sequatchie is VERY physical and has great speed at some positions. I think this will be the one of the best if not the best team Harpeth has played all year. Best of luck to both teams. Sequatchie by 2 or 3 tds.

Seq scored 64 vs Whitwell, not Marion, as the article mentioned. Before anyone thinks it was running it up, they pulled the offensive starters, still scored one more with reserves and likely would have again if a long run by reserves had not been called back due to some kind of illegal procedure or formation penalty. Game was 50-15 after three quarters.

I agree, I have watched the Camden and Waverly games and Harpeth does not have as much speed. Also seems to have trouble stopping the run in some spots. I am taking Sequatchie in this battle of the tribes.

Maybe I think Camden is still probably the best team that they will play all year.

Sounds like the making of a great game! evenly matched teams! I hope Harpeth brings a good crowd. You will find good parking and one of the best stadium's in the state for high school football. Glad we are hosting someone new for a change in the playoffs!

 

 

You're looking at around 2 1/2 to 3 hours whichever route you take. Google maps first suggestion is south to Manchester, over to McMinnville then down to Dunlap..Murfreesboro to Cannon County to McMinnville is almost identical in estimated time, so is west to Cookeville then down south through Sparta and Spencer. Leave by 3 and there should be no problem getting there.

    • 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?
