Didn't see anyone else make it so I guess I'll do it. I know there are a few fellow Vikings out there. After last year's second half meltdown I think THS enters this year with less individual talent and more overall team ability. I think we really found an identity at the back half of Crockett and Halls. I think with a full season behind a QB the team gets behind we can have a successful season. Sevier, Mo-West, D-B will be very tough and teams like South, Crockett, and Mo-East can't be slept on either. I won't make record predictions but I want to get a general feeling from y'all on this season.

Interesting year for the Vikes. Lose 7 starters on offense and 7 on def. They did find their QB at the end of the year. If they can get him in space this kid can play. Of course, 4 of the 7 on offense were linemen, so running lanes will be limited. Don't see any speed besides him. Defense will be an even bigger issue. 5 of the 7 started 2 or more years. Hard to tell but honest prediction is 3-7.

Harsh but I can understand it. I'll say this, I think people will be surprised by how good this team can be. It's all about getting it out of them.

Here's hoping Boone is one of the 7.

Other than that game I wish you the best for this season.

I think you will know where you stand after the opening game @ DB.

Last year a very bad DB team beat you like a drum, so if you can at least make it close, let's say within 20 points, then you should have a decent season.

Word on the other DB thread is that the Indians are much improved this year.   Hope you guys have learned how to tackle since that DB game last year...

    • 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.
