This will be a tough game for south to win especially if the pass d isnt better than friday. Prider one bad call doesnt mean south would have lost if so we could look at the 2 obvious interference no calls against the chiefs. Cherokee plays boone this friday, very interested to see that final score.

South's run defense was much better than I anticipated last Friday. I like the changes they have made on defense and believe they will be prepared to slow down the Henley to Mitchell combo. I'd look for the Vikes to bust some big runs up the middle with South concentrating on helping out on Mitchell. Both teams will score frequently and any turnover will be costly when most possessions will result in points. South in a big upset displaying a physical running game: 42-41

Crawdad how would you describe Cherokee's offense?  Against South were they more balanced or primarily a running team?

They were billed as a running team that would rely on a committee of backs. South shut down the run and Coach Sivert discovered he had a pretty good replacement for the graduated Ty Ryans. They were bogged down on offense until they spread it out. The Rebels were unable to generate much pressure and I'm sure they will work on that this week.

After the jamboree according to the papers i thought South was already crowned State Champs. You mean they actually have to play football games this year. They lost to Cherokee if it was not for the home cooking. I see TN High taking this one...

Prider,

 

I'm pretty sure a group of refs from Greeneville isn't home cooking.  My Chiefs informant (the Cherokee dad I sat next to at their South game), said they were Greeneville zebras.  So I call B S on "homecooking".  Yeah, they were bad and of course I saw the wcyb clip. And I was there.  They were bad both ways honestly.  But, you know, you don't just have the Sullivan North Johnny Majors Offense to contend with this year.  You do get your shot at the Rebels.  So I would talk some smack.

 

As far as South vs TN High goes:  neither team plays very good pass defense.  Both teams have multiple offensive weapons.  The Vikings RBs make the difference in this one, IMO.  I think South will be so intent on covering Mitchell and the other WRs, that Sir and company will move the pigskin.  South doesn't use Headrick enough running the ball, so that hurts them too.  I loved watching that kid play pre-varsity.  Skat back personified.

 

So, to make a prediction, I gotta say TN High by 17.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
