Powell's schedule did feature teams without impressive records this season, but it was about the same last year and Powell came within a last minute fumble of winning the state. It is extremely hard comparing teams from different areas until they get on the field and compete. Looking forward to Friday night. It should be an exciting game.

For the record, I could be wrong, but I don't think moronicus is a Powell guy. He's a District 3 guy. I don't think there are any Powell fans around here doing any chest thumping, especially about their SOS. Powell won the games that they were supposed to during the regular season, they've played good football in the playoffs thus far, and here we stand. These guys know what it takes to make a title game run, regardless of SOS. They've been there before, and they know the kind of focus it takes to win in the playoffs week after week. I still think that the upperclassmen on this Powell team think about that 2010 Powell-AC playoff upset, how they lost their composure, and how they were completely shell-shocked for most of the game (against a team they dominated in the regular season).

 

I think one of the big motivators for Powell is the fact that few people in Knoxville thought this team had much of a chance to make a run at all this year. People keep talking about the guys they lost from last year's team, or that they have a new, young coach, or that this was supposed to be West's year. Or Lenoir City's. Or even South Doyle's. Powell hasn't been talked about that much locally, even after last year's great season, and I think these kids have that in the back of their minds every Friday night.

 

It should be a great game tomorrow night, and Powell expects to get THS's best shot. Let's hope the Panthers don't have much of a let down after last week's win over West.

 

The Vikings can relate to that. The local news have a Top Five Team ranking every week of local and regional teams. I don't think the Vikings ever made the list despite being one of the only 3 local teams left standing.

That's a very true statement. One that was proven by the Vikings last week against MoWest. I personally didn't think we would be able to slow down their offensive attach but to my surprise it was just the opposite. Even after all the discussion, I really don't know what to expect Friday night. I guess that's why we play the game on the field instead of on these boards.

    • 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.
