Congratulations to the Irish and their fans. Y'all just had too much in the end and we made way too many mistakes to beat a team as good as Catholic. Our D held up very well, especially with the field position battle on Catholics side most of the night. Very proud of our kids. Tough one to swallow. We had our chances. Keep your heads up Cats.

Good game Cats. Glad they never quit. Made freezing my butt off worth it. Hate they couldn't pull it off. 

We put up a great fight against a team nobody gave us a chance to beat, but if we made our 2 XP we missed and didn't get that phantom Safety call, who knows what would've happened? Very proud of our guys. Hard to beat a team with 3 D1 linemen and 2 big ol RBs & a great WR, but we competed well.

Not trying to give out any moral victories, but we gave up 162 yards on 42 carries to Catholic. The week before they put up over 400 on the ground on a really good Fulton team, and I remember they put up 300 or so on the ground against Maryville (And Big #31 didn't even play against them) That's something to be proud of.

Brown played against us. We couldn’t stop him.

Definitely deserved to be there. Missed opportunities killed. Penalties... Not getting #68 ejected. Unfortunate but still a good game.

    • 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.
