I don't know, but Beech is one coaching staff that I won't question. Keep in mind, they didn't have much experience coming into the season. They lost 15 or so starters from last year. Not uncommon at all for the best athletes to be playing both ways.

I agree.. Beech has done more with less than any team in our district..

Wow ... enough said.  Guess that backup RB wasn't as good as advertised.

I was at the game. I tell you this... Henry County is a class act. Nicest coaching staff I have dealt with to this date. The coaches, team, doctors, trainers, even bus drivers all class act. I believe

He's a college player now ... high school is done for him.  Good choice.

After last night, that is a good argument, I said b/4 that the way they played last night I am not sure Beech wins w/ Hurd (I dont think so), but the games still have to played which will make it very interesting.....

You're absolutely correct. 

 

Congrats to Henry Co, but the reality of it is, they're really not that good. I'm honestly not trying to take anything away from the win, but other than their defensive line, there was nothing impressive about these guys all night. J Hurd would have not ran for 451 yards again and might have struggled going up the middle some, but once he got to the second level or around the outside, no one would have stopped him. He would have converted on all those HC fumbles, and with him back at safety, he also would have not allowed all those scores too. 

 

D Carter stepped in a tough spot. He's never been the guy that gets keyed in on, but he definitely got a taste of it last night with only 43 yards on 21 carries. Beech has a long way to go if they intend on winning any games against decent teams this year. I hope the Bucs can regroup and get a better game plan together going forward. 

 

You're right. 400 yards of total offense (300+ rushing) just ain't gonna cut it.

And with HC's easy schedule, I expect that to continue. Doubtful that you all will face a real defense until the playoffs. Congrats, and I hope to see the Patriots continue a great run. I was just not blown away by this years team - I'm probably just very partial to the HC team from 2 years ago. In my mind, that's what a dominant 5A team looks like.

No, you aren't partial. 

 

You are just trying to minimize a good win by an outstanding team.  I've read dozens of your posts.  You are particularly knowledgeable about high school football, especially 5A, and would not have overlooked the attributes of this team.  And certainly you wouldn't consider a schedule that includes 3 ranked teams in the first 4 games easy.  Not sure what point you are trying to make, but you aren't convincing anyone that you believe what you are saying.

HC has a great line, are well-coached, and are very disciplined, but they are far from an outstanding team. Write what you will. It really doesn't matter. You know as well as I do that Beech from last year and HC from the prior year were outstanding teams. This team may slide through, but to call them outstanding is a bit premature.

 

Funny as I find that before y'all played us, most of the HC faithful on this board were calling their own team slow, weak, etc. but now y'all are outstanding. Ha!

I never said we weren't slow and weak.

Just curious.  What weaknesses do you see in Henry County (what do we need to be outstanding in your opinion) and do you think they are reparable?

 

I think the potential is there for an outstanding year, but we can still get better. Little things like cleaning up the turnovers (I thought we had an otherwise excellent start, but those really gave Beech some momentum). And though it hasn't bitten us yet, we need to get the snapping issues we have on shotgun plays fixed or it could cost us down the road. It throws off the timing and increases the turnover risk. Aside from that, this is the kind of team that will only get better over the course of the season if they keep working hard and stay focused.

 

Ridgeway will be a huge test in a couple of weeks.

Was last week's (Sunday's) Beech team outstanding? Vol74 is there another team in 5A that has Henry County's depth at O-line or D-Line? ..or running back for that matter? Was/Is Station Camp outstanding? Was the atmosphere outstanding in your opinion? I've heard the Internet Streaming last night WAS outstanding...please clarify your definition of outstanding!!

      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.
