Sequoyah vs. McMinn Central

Really good defensive showing for the boys in blue against their cross creek rivals last Friday.  Score was not a good indicator of how the game went down.  Cherokees had a pick 6 late in the game, plus they hung an extra 8 on our freshman/jv with some of their starters, plus starting QB at the end.  Take away those, and 24 is not to bad considering we kept giving a short field playing a 6a school.  Need to find some offensive success to go along with a defensive effort like Friday.  

What are some thoughts?

If Central can stop the turnovers, it will be close. Watched Sequoyah on Friday and felt like Tellico had a mental block going on against the Chiefs.

Sequoyah is full of try hard this season. Hard to coach that. They don't have any athletes that really stand out. But have a desire not to be outdone. I say Sequoyah by 4 tds. At a guess 42-14

I think top to bottom Sequoyah have more play makers. It was a close game last year, but I feel Sequoyah is much improved and will play more consistently. 

With that being said, it is interesting because MCentral is much improved.  10-0 at half against a 6a foe.  If not for handing the ball back to Cherokees on short field, score could have easily been 0-0 at half.  Ran out of gas midway through third quarter.  I look for a good game, just as last year.

I like your optimism but can't understand why you think Central is much improved.  A 39-0 loss to a 6A team loaded with freshmen and sophomores (that probably won't make it to the playoffs) in a pouring rain doesn't show me much on Central's part. McMinn had over 400 yards of offense, 340 yards of that rushing, running a new offense. Central knew McMinn was going to run the ball but couldn't stop them. I thought your son played a very good first half defensively. Central has no depth and their offense looked worse than it was last year.
Tellico beat Central 3 times, in a spring scrimmage, in a scrimmage a couple weeks ago, and again in the jamboree. Tellico lost by a lot to Sequoyah, so I'd have to go with Sequoyah by 2-3 touchdowns.

Like I said at first, I'll know more after a few more games.  The Tellico scrimmage means nothing really.  I do agree we need to get some things going offensively.  Think about the field position we gave McMinn all night, do you realize how many turnovers we had.  Yes it matters that it is a bigger school cause it is all about depth.  About 55 of those yards came towards the end of the half when we were trying to rest some DL.  about 95 yards came at the game when we had our JV/Freshmen in.  I agree depth can be is an issue, but these are good kids that didn't quit.  Yes I do think our defense is a bit better this year.  You are correct I will always be optimistic, why not.

IT'S GREAT TO BE OPTIMISTIC BUTTTT YOU HAVE TO REALISTIC AT THE SAME TIME.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
