HTV you could very well be right. Key will be our offense and how many points we can produce 

Agreed. I was just being my normal smart #### self.  

It's going to take far more than 13 points to win this week for Central.  Catholic is clicking offensively right now.  I know Central's defense has been very good pretty much all year long, but I don't think that you have seen an offensive team anywhere near as talented as Catholic is.  While South-Doyle and Fulton have some guys with tremendous skill, Catholic has those guys all over the field.  

Don't get me wrong - pulling for Central, but my head obviously picks Catholic.  Hope I am wrong.

After Friday night I have to pick Catholic in this one. Just don't think Central can hang with the talent on Catholics team. For the most part we held that bunch of  big ole hairy legged boys, but at any time they can break loose and run right over you. Pardon me for hijacking your thread just had to butt in.

How did Maryville beat Catholic?    (Hint:  "Because we are Maryville" is not what we're looking for....   more along the lines of X's and O's...)

Catholic didn't trail until the last 1:10 when we snapped the ball over our punter's head on his first punt of the game and Maryville recovered on the 10 yd line. and scored. We really shot ourselves in the foot with about 300 penalty yards if you look at the big plays that were wiped out. Several first year starters and guys at new positions led to some execution errors and Maryville makes you pay for those errors. Offensively we played pretty well since not many teams put up 42 points on them.  Josh Brown had a great game running the ball and Bussell exploded onto the scene making a big impression. We should have figured out a way to get the ball in his hands more often that game. He's got elite football speed. We lost most of our defensive starters from last year so the newbies stepped right into the fire. We also play most of our guys both ways so depth eventually was an issue in August. Tough to beat Maryville at home  (especially when so many of the striped shirts are former MHS players LOL but we were warned...) 

 

Honestly I think that game helped Catholic realize they weren't world beaters and needed to go to work. Our schedule has definitely prepared us for the playoff run.

    • 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.
