TC is limping through the season thus far. Coming off a bad loss last week, can the Yellow Jackets pull it together for an important region win? I think they refocus and get the W. What say you?

  Just depends on who the Jackets are able to put on the field. A completely healthy team would probably win BIG. Health is a HUGE part of small town football, you can go from powerhouse to chumps fast.

Truer words have never been spoken. Good to see Hampton getting some recognition

  We've had ALOT of problems as well, hopefully we'll both get healed up and ready to go by the end of the season,I usually hate bye weeks,but this one comes at a great time for us. Hope you whip the britches off of GP.

I think that can be said for small school football period. We had 13 players out in early August and had a scrimmage game with another really good 2A school and got whipped. All but 4 are back now and we are doing well. When you are small like us or TC and you lose a stud it really hurts! Big 4, 5 and 6A schools can sustain during those injuries but small schools can't. I was getting updates from BallFrog last Friday on TC and was floored at the score. No doubt injuries have killed you because if I remember correctly you have the majority of your team back from last year. I really hope those boys recover well and can come back. Good luck the rest of the season. We all know TC will be there when it counts!

I know Harper is out and that is huge, but I thought TC would still be very good.  Who else do they have out other than Harper and will they get them back down the stretch?  I thought once Harper came back they may make a playoff run, just curious who else is hurt and if they are season ending or not.  TC should still roll through the region and into the playoffs.

Our line is struggling right now. Graduation hit us hard in the line. We have good skill players that returned, but as everyone knows, line play can make or break a team. Not gonna comment any about injuries specifically...everyone knows about Harper. TC's situation is akin to Beech's last yr with the loss of Hurd (ofcourse on a different level..lol). When your offense is based 65-70% around one player...& that player goes down in the 2nd qtr of the season opener..it catches you off guard. We just haven't been able to overcome that adversity. I think it demoralized the team. It's up to them to take control and remotivate. At this point it's focus on the region games..get to November & let's see what happens

Last Friday FC scored on their opening drive. We get the ball..our first play from scrimmage was a deep skinny post route that was picked. FC scores again quickly. We're down 2 TDs before you can blink. The team looked flat from that point on. Not taking anything away from FC...they looked pretty solid. I was disappointed the boys didn't show more moxie.

Only Harper was out vs FC but he is 75% or more of their offense and special teams. They have had a couple others miss time with concussions but they played last Friday. From my vantage point last week it seemed many of the TC faithful had turned on the team and some fans were even yelling at coach Creasy!

Their team played hard until FC scored to go up 21-0 then several laid down. It's tough when you lose a lot of linemen to graduation like TC this season or FC last season. Add losing your best offensive weapon and it magnifies it exponentially.

I felt like FC coach McNeal laid off once the MERCY RULE went into effect and got his JV in rather than running it up like many teams would have done given the same chance vs TC.

HARPER Returning will help but the sideline towel wavers and other TC fans need to be a little more encouraging IMO.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
