Friendship @ Webb is AJ Long playing?

Webb has been without stud LB Mitchell the last two games. They really need him to play this week and I haven't heard his status. My Spartans are going to need a great effort Friday night against a quality opponent. Hopefully Kelly is back to his normal high-motor self after appearing to be under the weather against CAK last week.

Long trip from Possum Town.  That's the problem moving to DII.  The positive of moving to DII though is we get to watch legitimate 3/4/5 star athlete's play throughout the season now.

 

Should be one heck of a game from two quality programs.  This should determine home field advantage throughout the playoffs for one of these squads.

Webb has the strongest strength of schedule in the state & that's saying something with Ensworth beating Trinity/BA playing in Cincy.

 

  1 MARYVILLE                                                                  6A     3   0   0   132.67
  2 ENSWORTH                                                                 A2     3   0   0    85.81   
  3 FULTON                                                                       4A     4   0   0   122.14   
  4 BLACKMAN                                                                  6A     4   0   0   132.78    
  5 MONTGOMERY BELL ACADEMY (MBA)                    A2     4   0   0   125.61    
  6 OAKLAND                                                                     6A     4   0   0   134.63    
  7 BRENTWOOD ACADEMY                                           A2     2   2   0   128.61    
  8 WHITEHAVEN                                                              6A     4   0   0   114.59    
  9 GREENEVILLE                                                             4A     3   0   0   107.00    
 10 WEBB                                                                           A1     1   2   0   140.86

 

That's a tall order for FCS.  Webb probably has no business playing in this classification.  Should be up with the big boys ... Ensworth, BA, MBA.

Ozzie, Webb just doesn't have the roster depth to compete with the "Big Boys". Nothing would make me happier than to see Webb's roster grow from the low 30s to 60 or more with quality depth and play up with those teams. The current administration will see to it that Webb will never put themselves in this position.

 

As for the game, I'm really looking forward to it!

Local paper has Coach Neal saying AJ will not play against Webb and next week is game day decision.  Neal stated he could not say why AJ is not playing.  Last week against TC he was sick (bug) and week before concussion.  In practice this week receiver Hawks was at QB position.  This will be a big Webb win as they can do what TC did and stack the box and FCS's line is not good enough to just pound the rock.  I don't see them scoring.

Ill be there Friday to watch the game but I certainly don't expect a W after how we got dominated last week. Maybe that'll wake the line up, who knows though

CommanderMan, what is the real story on AJ? I have heard some rumors that are not good. I don't want to repeat them on here. I figure if anyone knows the real story, you do.

    • 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.
