Both teams are 3-0, but the Chargers have played better competition. Although Grace Christian usually has very good teams, they're not as strong this season according to many Grace fans.

The only comparison is that Grace beat Tellico by 22 points. Sequoyah beat Tellico by 16 points and you know what the Chargers did to Sequoyah.

I would not put to much stock the the Sequoyah game. The Chiefs gave 4 or 5 gift scores in the 2nd Qt. With out that un-glueing it more likley would have been 17-7 or 17-10 Chargers.

I'm sure L. Cabin saw the same thing.

This dude has lost his mind. Anyone thinks that Alcoa or CAK are losing sleep over McMinn Central being 3-0  at the end of week 2 are getting ready for some serious counseling sessions.

I was wandering when someone was going to come back to reality!  Central has improved a great deal and has had great start to the season but it is week 3 folks.

Turnovers: chiefs 3 chargers 3

 

Total chief yards after 1st drive: 60yds in 42 minutes 130 total?

 

"#23" rb in nation: 27 yds after 1st drive, 75 total?

 

I wouldn't place much stock into that either.

 

Nonetheless, this will be a tight game Friday. Can go either way.

OL has been a little behind the DL so far. The OL for MC looks good. It will be a good battle against the front 4 of Grace.

 

Question for you guys. What do you see as the big change from last year to this year? Did the offense change or were you guys just very young last year?

What position does the Gilliland kid play? I know he's a lineman but don't know which side of the ball he plays on. I don't even know what grade he's in but I know he plays there. His family lived in Cleveland for several years.

 

To answer your question, we lost some stud seniors from last years team but had this same group (of seniors now) playing as juniors. In my opinion we underachieved BIG TIME last year with the juniors and seniors we had on the field. I am still a little skeptical of a coach or two but so far they have done well.

Gilliland is a second generation Ram, even though we only had the first one for a short time. He plays OG and DT. He had a great game on D last week.

 

I understand your estimation of your team last year. I thought they were much more talented than they played against us last year. I couldn't believe the final record for the Chargers.

 

I know you guys are pumped, it's good to see a community have success like that. Unfortunately, you have to come to Grace this week and one of us has to win. It's going to be a good one, from what I've seen in your 1st couple of games.

I can not make up my mind on this one. I just am not sure about this GCA team. I thought they would handle Tellico a little better, then I heard they played mostly young guys starting in the 3rd quarter. Is this true, Pride? If so then the score may not be a true representation of the game itself. If GCA comes out and dominates this game, then the region opponents may be in trouble. Rock wood and Greenback always seem to find a way to play the rams tough so I would think they may be doing a little score board watching Friday night. Should be a good one to go see

The Chargers did, as the one post said, start playing very conservitive.  They were just trying to ball control.  I do agree, Seqouyah shot themselves in the foot several times.  So did the Chargers.

Game never was really in question. It could have been much worse for the Chiefs. Chiefs only had 71 yards rushing on 37 carries and had 48 yards passing. Only had 6 first downs and 2 of those came on the last two plays of the game. The "ungluing" had a lot to do with Central defensive line who as a group just mashed the Chiefs offensive line. Sequoyah is not very good especially on offense. Chargers did capitalize on the Chiefs mistakes but to not view this game as a whole is unfair. Chargers turned the ball over twice in the first half and gave Sequoyah great field position but they failed take advantage.

I agree that on paper for this one means absolutely nothing. Grace was up 21-0 in the 1st with 2 turnovers then after 2-3 offensive plays were up 48-14 with 10mins left in the 3rd and freshmen started playing. As far as McMinn Central goes, they are the real deal. I watched both the Sequoyah and Boyd games and both were not even close. Sequoyah had one play in their first series and that was it. McMinn controlled both of those games on both sides of the ball. Good defenses cause turnovers and they make plays. This will be a tough game. If we make mistakes the Chargers will beat us. I am anxious to see what our defense is made of. This will be a good test.

      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.
