There's no logic to it. It's called coaches lack of attention to detail. Last year against Elizibethton we kicked it straight into the waiting arms of Ethan Thomas (arguably the best back in this region at any level), but someone was off sides and we had to kick it again. Once again we kicked it straight to Thomas and were lucky to get him down after about a 40 yard return. So I'm thinking we dodged another bullet and have learned what EVERY spectator in the stadium and beyond already knew, and that is DO NOT KICK THE bleep BALL TO THOMAS!!! But guess what........... the very next kickoff we ONCE AGAIN kicked it straight to Thomas. This time he took it about 80 yards to the house!! SMH We barely lost a classic shootout with Betsy last year and you have to wonder if things would have been different had we not made that bone headed mistake. Well... I'm not even sure you can call it a mistake when you do it three times in a row!! :huh:

Cap1 if they don't kick to Thomas I believe you had a very good chance of beating us last year.

Aren't there any South fans out on CoachT anymore?? :bored:

haha...called out by ole Cap once again. How are you friend.? Hope you're planning on making the trip down to Death Valley. I believe it will be a game you will enjoy on two counts: 1) the Rebel rags have pretty much been shelved  2) the Vikings should roll

 

Rebels best chance to keep it close will be to shorten the game with the running game and try to grind out a few first downs and play field postition. Their downfield passing game is nowhere near what it has been for each of the last 10 years.

 

Defensively they are tough against the run but suspect in pass defense.

 

I would expect a close game for the first half and then Tennessee High pulling away in the second half. I'd see a punt or K/O return for TD in that surge. 27-7 Vikes.

Hey there Crawdad. Glad to see there are still other old schoolers still out there. Where is your crew? It's unlike South not to represent on the boards. It's also not a good sign. From what I'm hearing it sounds like this is going to be closer than many think. The Viking team has shown to be typical in that we are run first and pass only if you have to. If South is able to put together a couple of scoring drives and they are tough against the run, this could come down to who can sneak in the big play. 

 

Glad to hear they are finally trending away from the rag. I would say it's hard to be a rebel without the flag. They should create their own.

Doubt it makes a difference in this one. I'm fearful Bristol's speed will be too much for the Rebels. South needs to manage the kicking game, play zone pass defense and force some turnovers to have a chance.

Maybe this will be the coming out of the closet game for our passing attach because it's proven to be almost none existent up to this point.

      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.
