UNION CITY VS. HAMPTON: CLASS A STATE QUARTERFINALS

Okay, I go to put this in here. Back in 83, Hampton made it to State with a record of 18-13. As a reward, they got to play the #1 team in the state, Houston County, in the opening round. Hampton won that game by 6 or 8. Just because you have the ranking, doesn't make you invincible. In 92, Hampton was the highest ranked team left after the sub-state round at #2, and we were ousted in the semis. Humility is a great trait, something I haven't seen too much of on this thread from certain UC people. I know all schools have fans like them, but they give a school a BAD image.

The way I see it is there are 734 high schools in tn. 24 are all that remain at this point. Both teams have a right to be proud. I know we are definitely the underdog here. Union city fans should be proud of their accomplishments and history. You guys don't know how bad many of those 734 schools envy you guys. You all routinely have great teams where the rest of us hope to have one of those years every 15 years. Any time we have a team that can compete with you guys we are very excited. You all might win 9 out of 10 times we play, but there is always a "chance". We are proud of our boys and you all shod be too. But please do not belittle us or expect us to just lay down. We will give it our all and let the chips fall where they may. Be proud, not arrogant.

Union city would go undefeated every year in the regular season if they had hamptons schedule. If they play 100 times Union city will win by double digits 100 times. Get ready for beatdown

"Humility is the true key to success. Successful people lose their way at times. They often embrace and overindulge from the fruits of success. Humility halts this arrogance and self-indulging trap. Humble people share the credit and wealth, remaining focused and hungry to continue the journey of success."

Here ya go:

 

"The other teams are good. You can't be so arrogant to think that you're going to play perfect. These teams are good, and we know that. They're going to make you look bad at times, hopefully you make them look bad at times, and hopefully you do that to them more than they do that to you, and you win,"

Coach K

    • 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.
