Well the thing that stick out the most to me is how thin Hendersonville is. Most of their guys go both ways. Hard to beat teams from this area when you lack depth because they just grind on you all game

Very thin up front and very young as stated above.  I think it took some of our players a while to get it going as quite a few are first time starters.  It didn’t help that all 3 RB were out at the beginning of the year.  We played our best game of the year against Gallatin a couple of weeks ago and did just enough to beat Rossview.  It will take a superhuman effort against the Bears as they are just as good as their record indicates.  Size, speed, and experience in every position for them.  When we tee it up Friday the schedule that both teams have played will not matter one bit.  Makes for interesting conversation but will have zero effect Friday night.  Very thankful for the opportunity that stands before us.      Weather forecast not looking good right now, hope it changes.

If MJ wins Friday night, they have finally beat someone good. I don't care what anyone from the outside says about that. Hville is a good opponent that can hold their own against most good 6a teams. So I'm sure people will try to take away the joy if we do win, but I'm stating here that Hville is no slouch.

If you beat a team that is coached by Bruce Hatfield, then you indeed had a good night

If this game were played at Mt. Juliet, I would go with them in a close one.  Being that it is in Hendersonville, I'm taking the home team in a close upset.  I know it was earlier in the season when I saw Mt. Juliet but I think Hendersonville has righted their ship and are headed in the right direction.  To me, Kincaid is the kid you have to pay attention to.  Good luck to both teams this week and against those Ru-Co teams in the playoffs.

I'm sure you thought that Gallatin/MJ game was going to be a barn burner too.... Gthoh

I probably would over Cookeville. Riverdale would be a toss up. Don’t think they beat Blackman. Even without Teague. And Oakland wins by 2 scores. Atleast 2

Even though Cookeville beat Blackman by 17 last week?

Blackman isn't seemingly as good as they were at the start of the season.

Blackman has some definite holes on defense.  Mt Juliet has two crazy good corners and stud linebackers and an agressive dline.  Makes a huge difference when you dont have to sell out to stop Teauge.  I realize that everyone sees Mt Juliet as having played a weak schedule.  Our region was not great this year and they scheduled some really weak out of region games.  But that D is for real.  I think it will by far be the best D HHS has played since they scrimmaged Oakland.

Dont get me wrong, I think Blackman still has a great chance to make some real noise in playoffs.  If a #1 Mt Juliet or a #1 HHS gets Blackman in the first round....that would be a BRUTAL draw for a 1 seed.

I've been saying it all year that this region has the hardest path to a championship. A path that potentially could be something like Blackman, Cookeville/Riverdale, Oakland, Maryville and Whitehaven etc.

Whereas in comparison look at Region 5 and 6 and you have Cane Ridge and Brentwood then a considerable drop to the next tier of teams.

Ok let's not make this solely about MJ and our weak schedule. Hendersonville is picking up steam and it surely is making MJ faithful nervous. They have a potent offense, and they seem to be stingy on defense at times. offensively is where MJ has to capitalize, our defense has been great but yet to be truly tested. MJ has one of the best rushers in the misstate in Aidan Raines, Our QB Cody Glass is a 70% completion passer, multiple weapons at wideout, and plenty of strong runners backing up Raines. Defensively MJ has a swarm to the ball mentality, solid coverage from the Dbs, strong, big Dline. I'm not sure what Hville has to offer from a position standpoint.  I would probably give the edge to MJ here in a closer than I'd like type of ballgame.

The running back for Hendersonville the Hughes kid is probably the most explosive back that I feel like I seen all year. They limit his touches I think somebody said because of injury concerns but he averages 10+ yards per carry.

When they played Lebanon he had something crazy like 9 carries for 170 yards and 2 touchdowns and I was like wth isn't this kid getting the ball? Every run was a big play.

So just something to watch for maybe they have been saving him for this part of the season.

MJ is loaded from top to bottom. It will take more than 1 player to make a difference for the Commandos. They can't match MJ blow for blow.

The only question I have is will Coach Perry at MJ run the score up to send a message to future Bear opponents.  I think he will.

He goes in there being cocky, he is liable to have his tail handed to him.

H'ville is NOT a cupcake y'all are making it out to be.  You ARE providing some good bulletin board material though.

    • 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.
