South is a tough one to figure out. South wins this one, but by how much? It's hard telling. This has been a crazy season. East performing well, North dropping fast. South kind of inconsistent. Close loss to TN High, Smaller than expected margin of win vs Gate City(2A vs 4A).  And Elizabethton seems to be on par for a 8-2 or 9-1 season. This will be an interesting game though. I feel South is my favorite by 1-2 TDs.

South passes at will.   Then Boone puts in double safetys and extra DBs, so South runs at will.   Drop the DB's and add LB's, South goes back to passing at will.      Poor Will, he can't catch a break !!!!

Boone puts the ball on the turf an average of 6 times per game on offense, and you just cannot give a team like South free field position.

 

South 41-6

I agree with your prediction here. South will go as far as their line play will allow them to go. It has been inconsistent even within a single game (1stHalf/2ndHalf of both TNH and Gate City games). I think that Gate City would play in a 3A/4A conference if it was a Tennessee school so the size difference isn't as much as you think and they will probably challenge for a state title in their classification this year. If we put together a full 4 quarters worth of good line play I think South wins by 28+. The defense was stellar against Gate City.

It's only Monday, but are there no South fans out there who want to talk a little smack?      Do you guys consider Boone one of your cupcake games?     Wishing a healthy and injury-free night for all the young men involved (and actually we have a girl kicker, so health to the ladies as well....

Forgot to add this.....  I can only remember one game in recent years where South has not run back a kickoff for a score.   That is such a deal-breaker and momentum shifter, yet it happens over and over.      So South fans, how about if we just spot you 7 points before the game starts but you have to promise not to run any back on us.... deal?

    • 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.
