The Vikings beat Collinwood and their starter Ben Ragen 6-5 tonight at home on a walk off strikeout. Collinwood got up 4-0 in the first inning and the Vikings scored five runs in the fifth inning. Vikings are now 8-13 and 3-6 in the District. Great game to watch. It was intense and up and down. Had a lot of downs though but glad we were able to pull it off.

Summertown defeated Lawrence County tonight 15-0 in 5 innings!! Pitcher Crowell pitched a no hitter backed up by some awesome defensive plays, of which a pair of double plays and an ESPN diving catch from Matthews in left field! Summertown had some power in the bats tonight as well....that pressure forced a few fielding errors by Lawrence County. Beard hit the power shot of the night with a homer to the center field 370 spot.

3 of the 15 came from 1 hit in the game. Just because an error was made during relays of the ball doesn't mean all of the runs scored during that play were unearned. There were at least 5 hits from Summertown....that even without errors in the field would have scored runs.

I agree however that Lawrenceburg was definitely out of sync defensively.

 

Anyway, good luck to L'burg! Hope you guys finish well. You have some good talent on this team

Thank you but after what we have been looking like and the carousel the coach has the kids on odds are we will not finish well at all. Y'all have the best chance for success

Keep the faith in your kids. If they work hard enough, and really want it, the talent IS there. Coaches play an important role in the success, but I have always believed desire to win and the willingness to work are the 2 most important parts in any of life's successes.

A good coach should always instill the basic principles of discipline for a team, but wins & losses are truly up to the kids.

    • 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.
