Thanks for the love but, if we make it there are a couple teams in the east that will have underachieved this season.

As of today I think we may be the 5th or 6th best team in the east in 2A.

I think you are still top 4. Besides Trousdale, Meigs and Tyner. Who else do you think is better? Rockwood?

You all are like TC,SP,GB and teams of that Nature.Those type teams just cant never be counted out.Very good coaching and kids they are used to winning and hate losing more than they love winning.I tbink you all have the stuff to be MUCH improved.Meigs has A TON of potential but cant seem to get past Marion,almost like Hampton.

When Marion beat us in 2015 and 2016 you just had superior talent period. There was a large gap in talent in your team and nearly every other in 2a only maybe 4 teams could compete with you those years. Meigs wasn't one of them. This year, and last we have the talent, we have the athletes, we have a good coach ( played for Auburn has to know a little something :thumb: ). And the kids want it seemingly so bad they can taste it. I hope to see you in the playoffs maybe we can see if we got the Marion County monkey off our backs.

I was told Tyner was missing about 25 of their players at that scrimmage.... almost every starter was held out... I think this years MC team will end up with a record similar to last years and Tyner will win the region hands down.... 

Tyner has 40 kids total. There were 31 there. They had a couple starters out with injuries but for the most part they were playing. Couple of kids from Detroit that had moved down looked good. #7 was a hoss. One of the Tyner parents said that when school starts they will pick up 25 to 30 kids. They didn't have a lot of linemen so I'm sure when school starts there will be some big boys show up. If the team that was at Seq Friday night is the actual team for the season I can't hand them the region.

We had a good group those few years. We have some good kids now but they are young. A couple of years and we should be ok. I doubt we see Meigs in the playoffs and that's probably a good thing.

I don’t know about 25 lol but I do know there was at least 9 including most of the line. This is coming from one of their players 

I said the same thing and I'm sure that number is probably wrong. I was not there my nephew was and that's what he was told. He did say he could tell it wasn't their starting line!!!

I was waiting on a friend to get there to watch the scrimmage and when I saw Tyner come on the field I knew something wasn't right. I called him and said Tyner didn't bring their starters lol. We sat with some Tyner parents and they kinda clued us into what the deal was. If kids show up in the fall to play and the ones who've grueled it out in the summer don't mind then more power to them. I do know that Batiste and Goodwin were out. As for others I'm not sure but that was the smallest line I've seen in a while for them so I assumed there were some that weren't there. I saw some of our kids there as well.

    • 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.
