East beat Melrose 35 - 26 this past Friday. Whitehaven lost to Sacred Heart-Griffin 49 - 27 this past Saturday. This is a district game that has seeding implications. East's victory over Melrose went a long way towards seeding in the playoffs in 5A. District 16 is shaping up to be pretty competitive across the board. How do we think this game will play out?

East has always been big up front. But that's it, never have posed a threat to us. Even when they had kimbrow, we still beat them by 50....we should come back with a hard statement. Just because an outta state team beat us, don't mean an instate team will.....we will close out the year on top! These guys aren't use to losing, and not about to start.....

Plain and simple we need to come out with the mindset to dominate. Hopefully that humble pie we had last week will help us refocus on the task at hand. Coach should put extra emphasis on starting off strong. This East team is no slouch and should not b taken lightly. Home field advantage and pounding the rock should b our main focus. I'm glad we have a good passing game now but we must assert ourselves up front and dominate on the line and run the ball.

This is a really big game. East is currently 5-2, with both losses being district losses to Central and White Station. Both of those programs are 6A. East's next three games are Whitehaven, Ridgeway, and Hamilton. They had a bye last week just like Whitehaven. This is going to be a knock down, drag-out type of game.

Not to mention a shoot out. This is both on the field and in the stands.

How are we looking on the health front? I'm curious to know how Terrigon is doing. If I remember correctly, I remember the commentator for the SHG game saying something about they thought that the WHS coaches were concerened if 'T' had sustaiined a concussion because of the things they saw the staff doing with him on the sideline. I don't remember seeing him play anymore after that comment was made. I hope we got some guys healed and ready to go with last week's bye.

    • 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.
