Sorry for misspelling the young man's name.  Baugus. Got it now.  

Our biggest opponent so far has been ourselves.  JSS was not very good.  We should have scored 50 plus points.  Mayfield .......Well they were simply better.  We made it easier for them.  I think we could have only made the game respectable the end result would have been the same.  

This week is the first game that has any real importance.  District competition starts now.  Our guys must get those nagging penalties under control.  Fumbles will kill us in this game.  I don't have much to say about defense.  The scores in the last couple of games speak for themselves.  We are going to have to put some pressure on the QBS.  We have to find a way to get after the signal caller.  That's all.

I don't want to sound too negative about our team.  I believe in these kids.  We will be ready to fight for 4 quarters. You can count on that.  I expect Coach Bowling to open up more of the playbook this week.  So far we have thrown 2 passes, both incomplete.  I don't expect that to change anytime soon.  There are some very effective plays that I have seen in practice that haven't made it to the game yet.  We have well over 600 yards against 2 teams by keeping things simple and imposing our will at the point of attack.  Bare in mind that one of those teams was very a  prepared and well coached Mayfield team.  We had 309 yards on the ground against them.  I know that is just a statistic and stats are for the losers to try and find a positive from a loss. My point, I guess,  is that we are tough and aggressive and we will be ready to fight for 4 quarters.

If the Tides lines play as they did in the Milan game that will be a tall order!! But these are two fine teams and amazing fan bases!!!!!ROLL Tide

I agree in the fact that Trenton has good lineman And that makes a difference against a run heavy team like UC.  However, defending against the scheme Milan setup in and defending against the Veer are two different  things...so not sure you can completely relate the two. Trenton got a huge win against Milan, and proved a lot of people wrong about how good they can be, no doubt.  But it is way too early In the season to expect consistent results and plan out how the season will unfold all based on one Friday night. That's just unrealistic, and in high school football things change on a dime all the time. A good example of that was the 2015 season between these teams and Dresden.

My opinion on slowing the veer enough to create a few stops is turning your defensive tackles into blockers and keeping the guards off the linebackers, gotta play unselfish up front and hope your linebackers have a big night

Regardless of what formation Union City runs, Peabody has surprised you before.  Union City has ran the veer for a while now, right?   Peabody has pulled out the W against you all before.

 Before the Milan game, everyone said Peabody is going to have a hard time containing the running game or this running back or this player, etc. etc.  Peabody essentially shut their running game down.  Milan did capitalize on some of Peabody's mistakes, and that's what kept the game close. They took the opportunity and ran with it.  Peabody will have to work on that part of the game. We can't make big mistakes like that. Those mistakes is what kept the game close. Regardless... my point is that we were ready for Milan when all that talk was going on that we didn't stand a chance. Our boys will no doubt be ready for the Tornado that blows into Walter Kiltzer Stadium come Friday night.  Watch and see.

Hey!........89, cut that out. Don't be giving them any ideas.  They will do just fine on their own.  All this mess about defensive lineman as blockers.  Who ever heard of such?   Leave our guards along.  It won't work.  It's a bad idea.  It's a horrible idea.  Don't listen to 89. Okay.  Alright ......Fine.  maybe it's not such a bad idea.  Maybe it's been tried before and failed.  Either way. I'm sure Bowling has been watching the film from the last time Peabody tried something like that and he will be ready to counter your idea.  

Well crap.  Thanks 89 for giving me something else to be concerned about.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
