I have a hard time seeing any 2A beating a team that beat Fulton. Am I missing something here? Will AE not be the best team Grace has played this year? Or would you consider Webb, CAK, or Campbell County better?

 

I'm interested in how a Grace fan would rank their toughest opponents this year. If you see the above teams as better than AE then I guess this could be closer.

 

From the outside looking in its hard to pick a 2A team over a team that beat Fulton.

Not offended by your prediction Gunner. Re-read that one. I think you will be able to see thru it and see that 1 game I'd love to see is a game against SN at some point. I've never liked having a team beat us and not return the favor. That's what I was getting at.

 

OnB, you could be correct. We would've played each other last yr and this yr if Hicks hadnt pulled the plug on an agreed home/home. Hope your buddies can get with that McKamey man and get something in ink for '17/18

I could be correct???That's all I get??I expected more!:roflolk:

I have seen both these teams play in person. Both are good, AE is much more athletic but I think if you hit them hard that makes a difference. GCA is a well coached team and usually would get the edge because of that. But what I noticed about AE this year is they are much more disciplined than last year and seems they have a little fire in them. If GCA can't run the ball right at them they will have a very difficult time. Getting out on the edge will not help GCA. Friday against the Bears they had success in the passing game with rub routes and the young Bear secondary couldn't figure it out. This could be one heck of a game. AE needs to prove they are the 2A team this year and this could be a huge step to prove that. GCA wants to go out their last year in DI as district champs this has the making of a special game. If GCA comes out and pounds the ball, keeps it away from AE they have a shot. Is AE gets on the edge or open in space GCA is in for a long night....Wish I could be there but the Bears are playing RW at home and we always play them well there plus the Pork Palace is calling my name!!!

I've not seen AE play this year, but I've heard plenty between what they did last year and what they've done this year.  I may be mistaken, but I believe they caught Fulton while they were dealing with some injuries.  That doesn't take anything away from any win against Fulton, though. From the couple of games I've seen GCA play this year, your comments about GCA being able to run the ball are concerning.  I've not seen much consistent success with the run like I remember in past years.  GCA seems to be relying more on the passing game than I remember, particularly the big plays.  Should be a good final Division I district game at GCA on Friday night.

    • 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.
