I was announcing lol

 

I don't know if they said it or not on the radio but on our final 2 possessions out starting qb was hurt and our back up was in. I thought penalties killed us but it was a good game nonetheless...

 

Good luck to the tigers the rest of the way out...

Croz, the pass was their all night for Gville. Had they completed a lot of those passes Gville may have won by 2 or 3 scores, a lot of them were dropped passes.... If you get any stats for the game I would like to know how many yards Holder ended up with. He's a very good RB!

Holder had 90 something yards at halftime.

I didn't hear the final stats.

He's tough and a good kid.

Our starting RB reinjured an ankle last week and didn't dress. That is, until half and he played the final 3 plays on defense from what I'm told.

Definitely don't understand that one.

I'm a proud alumnus of RBS, and I had the opportunity to return there for my first football game in 20+ years for our 30-year reunion a couple of weeks ago against Jackson County.  I came away impressed with the football team, Coach Shoulders, and the facilities.  That field looks like a fairway on a nice golf course.  I think we grew corn on it in the off-season when I played there. RBS put themselves in position to win that game on several occasions.  They looked and acted like a good team; I hope that they can surprise some of those taking them lightly.  I heard Jackson County beat the bulldogs by 40+ last year; they should be counting their blessings that they got that win - by 1.  Go Dogs!

When my high school traveled to RBS we had to BYOS Bring Your Own Seat! Congratulations on the stadium and the great looking field, now how about updating the baseball field? Great game against the Tigers, glad everyone was safe and injury free.

Blubelz, I'm sure it will come.  Back in the 80's when I played there, we didn't have a baseball field to play home games.  All our games were away, we practiced on a field full of rocks next to the horse show rink near the school.  My senior year, a couple of us, built a mound so we could practice pitching.  As you may know, RBS is classic rural America, not a lot of industry there, most people either farm or travel to larger areas for work.  There just isn't a lot of options for corporate sponsors for the school.  But you have a lot of good people volunteering and doing the best they can.  I wouldn't change my childhood in RBS for nothing, Mayberry had nothing on us!

    • 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.
    • 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.
