Thanks MVP. My first trip to Hartsville in 2013 I knew then that TC was a special place. With all the crap that was going on with former coaches vandalizing our field house and all the negative press our kids were getting it was a dark time for our program. I was at the field a couple hours before kickoff and a gray haired man who said he was supt. of schools ( I think he said his name was Satterfield but not sure) talked to me for a long time about it. He and along with other TC fans were the most gracious fans I believe I have ever been around. They genuinely seemed concerned for our kids and assured us that they would bounce back from adversity. It was hard to see at that time but they were right. That memory will always stay with me. TC should be proud of their program and the people surrounding it.

I like to think TC has some fine people in it. And that grey haired man is the legendary Clint Satterfield that Lead TC to 5 State Titles and had close to 250 wins as HC.

I was at that game as well (actually walked the MC sidelines much like i did this past weeks game). MC does it right. Outside of the random railbirds chirping (we all have those), I heard nothing but class. You could tell MC players and coaches knew they were in for a battle and even though they came out on top, they had much respect for the opponent. MC and TC have very similar traits and i like it. Go get that Gold!

From that Hargis man himself:

Marion County (7-5) at Tyner (10-2)

» That was then: The first meeting was Sept. 15 with Tyner rallying for three TDs in the final five minutes for a 37-28 win. The teams combined for 35 points in a wild fourth quarter, and by the end the Rams had outgained Marion 403-340 in total yards (a balanced 190 rushing, 214 passing). All-state defensive lineman Tracey Justice was a big reason for the late momentum shift as he helped shut down Marion's offense and helped Tyner outgain the Warriors 110 to minus-21 over the final three possessions.

Rams quarterback Jaylen Bowens was all over the field, finishing with 114 passing yards, 51 rushing and an interception on defense. That game was the springboard the Rams used to gain the confidence needed to believe they could play with anybody, and they have won seven straight games since that night.

» This is now: Jacob Saylors, who was named a state Mr. Football finalist earlier this week, has proven why he's one of the top two-way players in Tennessee over the past month by rushing for 200-plus yards in four of the past five games and intercepting four passes during that time. Although the Warriors have plenty of other weapons — including dual-threat QB Isaiah Sampson, receiver Kane Hale and running backs Seth McClain and Brett Nelson — when the game is on the line, expect Saylors to be the man with the ball in his hands.

Tyner is much tougher to defend because of the number of athletes who can make plays in space. It starts with Jeremy Elston, a 1,200-yard rusher, and includes quarterback Bowens (1,000-plus all-purpose) as well as burly fullback Tyon Young and speedy receiver/defensive back Jeremiah Batiste. Any of those guys are capable of changing a game's outlook on one play, but while the Rams offense is averaging 40-plus points, it's the defense that has been the biggest reason for the current run they're on, holding six of the last nine opponents to one score or fewer. Justice has 100-plus tackles, 25 for loss, and seems to always be disrupting plays in the backfield.

Kickoff is less than 10 hours away...no poster, fan or prognosticator can win this game for you tonight!! My prayer is that no one gets seriously injured! Let's go "RAMS"!!

Tee-Fi...RamTrain!!

 Too close to call.  Tyner can score quicker than anyone I’ve ever seen.  We are real familiar with Tyner and it’s always a good game.

    • 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.
