What a bummer! Four plays into the MBA-HC scrimmage a lightening delay followed by a deluge  ended the event. MBA scored in 3 plays  to start the contest thanks to a beautiful 70 yard breakaway by their fine tailback and two short passes. HC ran one play,a 7 yard run by McCutchen, before the game was called. The HC frosh had a 3 to 1( I think) advantage in their scrimmage and looked pretty good.A really big crowd from Nashville followed their team to Paris which made the ending much worse. The Patriots needed the work and didn't get it.Now we have the jamboree to look forward to in a week. Good luck to both BIG REDS!!!

Yeah that was a major letdown. Oh well. We've had to wait all spring and summer. I guess one more week won't hurt. Although with the way the weather has been this summer it's legitimately worth hoping the jamboree doesn't get rained out as well. Seems like it has come a storm every afternoon for a month!!

 

I did catch the tail end of the frosh scrimmage, and it was encouraging. We look to have another plentiful and talented group over there again this year.

No offense to westview fans but even if we beat them which I'm sure we will. We know what we have on our schedule with tough teams and u can't feel really good like we are the best when we have to get over a couple of huge hurdles with liberty and centennial. Not too mention other very talented teams in gallatin Dickson county. So can't be comfortable with a win vs west view. Way more improving that has to be done to compete with big time teams

That's one of the reasons we needed the MBA scrimmage in my opinion. Truth be told, we probably would've gotten crushed yesterday (I know, I know, scrimmages aren't actual games), but in high school football sometimes it's good to get punched in the mouth during the preseason. There is no shame in it happening against somebody like MBA, and it can be a really good learning tool for a young team with lots of potential.

 

That said, we will overcome the missed practice and be fine. And Westview or not, I'm just ready to see this team in action. Here's to hoping for some good weather next Friday! We're getting yet another afternoon thunderstorm as I type this!!

I haven't heard much about Liberty during the preseason. Apparently their numbers are down this year, but it's not like a numbers advantage has helped us the last couple of years against them.

 

They have most of their skill guys back from last year on top of a really good RB transfer. That game hinges on what they have up front IMO. If they've taken a step back in the trenches then I like our chances. If not, then I don't.

    • 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.
