I think GCA wins this game. I know everyone from Hampton on the AE bandwagon. Watched the game on film last year and just didn't see a great team. A good team yes. Grace was not very good last year and game was close. BOTH teams better this year so game will still be close. Taking GC by 7

If not for several penalties on AE. Last years game would have been a blowout. Grace tricked um a time or 2 but moving the ball was a task. I watched the game and left thinking AE was the MUCH better team.

If that were the Case,we would be on the Marion Co band wagon.  My opinion is, if AE plays near their potential ,they will be in Cookville . They very well could win it.

I like ole sox but to say GCA can move the ball on AE with no problem and that AE would have never beat Fulton had Fulton been "healthy" is a bit out there. We shall see

 

And SOS means nothing 

When Maryville and Fulton went at it on TV a lot of players from both schools were injured because they both went at each other to kill.  Maryville with more depth was able to resume and reach down into their reserves and carry forward. Fulton on the other hand had very little  depth and paid the price dearly until some of those players came back. Austin-East was on the schedule at the right time and couldn't have caught Fulton with their pants down to their ankles like they did at the time these two played. I'm not saying A-E isn't any good by no means but they also played Halls in a very sloppy disorganized game if there ever was one and lost 38-41. Halls isn't a world beater by any means and that was on TV. A-E is a good football team and individually has better athletes than GCA dose but if they play like they did against Halls then GCA has a chance to win this game. Last year A-E won 28-23 and GCA had the winning TD called back but was on a roll but let so much time get wasted in the last two minutes I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Maybe I've been to so many Maryville games in my life and seen them get the ball and score with 30 or 40 seconds on the clock that I forget most other teams aren't capable of doing that.

Boy dropped a sure TD to win it but AE dominated the game.

Pujo last year GCA just didn't want it like the kids do this year.  I've watched so many teams over the years and sometimes you get better results out of a group of new blood then a team full of returning starters. I've seen that so many times at Maryville over the years and I call it the lazy syndrome where you have a large group return and think all they have to do is show up because no one is going to take their job away from them. I wouldn't have given this team a chance in the world at the beginning of the year but these kids have really fought hard and only one time have I ever just seen them quit and that was against Webb.

    • 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.
