If Oakdale will cut out all the turnovers and not put themselves in bad spots (2nd and 3rd and longs) trying to do too much after catches they are built to win this game. A good throwing team with a defensive crew that has done a fairly decent job at stopping the runs the first two weeks will give Cloudland problems. Big gains on pass plays and countless turnovers have gotten Oakdale in big holes in their first two games. I think this game will be another really close game like last year and with the injuries Cloudland has I think Oakdale takes it by a two point conversion.

Be good for the future by playing those freshman.

Its a good freshman class but most freshman are not varsity ready. It takes a very early bloomer or an all out stud. Should have a good team in 2 years. Once you ever get the program back on the right track,it pretty much feeds off itself.

I've just got a question that I've been thinking about,I'm not trying to upset anyone but what's up with all these injuries not just this year but in the past years,when I played many many years ago we may only have one or two players get injured,and I never remember anyone cramping up like what happens now a days. Are the games more physical than back in the day I know their a little faster,are the kids playing too many games in youth clubs,and are wore out by the time they get into high school,are they not as conditioned as they need to be,I was just looking for some insight on the situation

They don't stay outside growing up. They never do the things boys used to do to strengthen their core.Swinging on grape vines,walking,running , wrestling and actually working was our entertainment. Its just a different day.

    • 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.
