Hopefully this will be a good one again. I think Webb has the edge because they have been there before. Not sure how the turf plays into things but it's possible it makes BGA a little faster. I do think they have to play mistake free, Webb doesn't make many mistakes, they are very disciplined as you guys know. Ready for a great game!

Looks like there is a chance for rain on Thursday. Hopefully it holds off. The first game between the two was close. BGA had a pick six, kickoff return, and 90 td pass. Not saying those weren't great plays, but I don't expect those plays to happen again in this game. Like what has been said already, BGA has to play close to perfect. It looks like Beeler and Mitchell in the backfield for Webb are clicking on all cylinders.

Well, Well. Let's see who wins the state from two teams that dropped down. Couldn't beat the Ensworths of the world. So drop down. That's awfully big of y'all. Haha!!!

 

BGA is a legitimate D2-A school (enrollment per TSSAA: 326) that was playing over their heads (and actually doing fairly well) before moving down last year.  Knox Webb, on the other hand (enrollment per TSSAA: 471), is by far the largest school in the division and actually has more students than Ensworth and about the same as Brentwood Academy.  They have become quite adept at beating the pants off of schools less than half their size.  However, unlike BGA, Webb was totally unable to compete at the higher level (did not win a district game their final year) and moved down as soon as they were able. 

 

No shame on BGA - they are competing against schools similar in size and philosophy.   Wonder how many of those gold balls Webb would be bragging about if schools such as Ensworth and BA decided "to play in the division that the TSSAA put them in" as our Knox Webb friends are fond of saying?

    • 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.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
