My cats have played tough but the speed of Huntington is taking its toll 

Wayne Co plays a certain style of ball. Good year or bad year, you know you're gonna get a tough, physical team with WC. 

Lots of folks were banking on an easy win for Huntingdon here, but I knew better. WC always plays Huntingdon tough. I've enjoyed the rivalry that has developed here. Gonna miss it if/when Huntingdon goes to 2A

This game was for the # 1 seed in the region. Wayne Co was not going to go down without a fight. Great play calling kept the Mustang defense off balance the whole first half. Huntingdons speed was to much for the Wildcats as we pretty well scored at will. When the defense finally got a few stops it was all over. Wayne Co did a super job of controlling the ball in the 1st half. Huntingdon only ran 2 offensive plays the 1st quarter. Thanks to Wayne Co for giving us a scare by playing the Mustangs a tough , physical game. We needed this!

Coach Rice had a good game plan ,to keep the ball from the Mustangs . After the first kickoff to huntingdon he learned not to kick to #7 who took it back for our first score . i'd guess Wayne co had the ball 16:00 in the first half. but Huntingdon came out and took control in the second half and #9 could not be stopped around the corners with great lead blocking. Wayne co played and hit hard the whole game. I think they were better than Milan and a good test to get us ready for the playoffs. Did have fun watching one Wayne co fan walk into the endzone down by the creek and get on the refs. They promptly sent him on his way to watch the game from outside!!!

Huntingdon has the same problem they have had for the last several years.  Defense trails offense in performance. It is difficult to make championship run when you have to outscore every team you play.

Mid 90's saw Huntingdon defenses that would shut a team down. 

Mustang defense has given up some points this season our defense is young starting just two seniors. Losing 76 on defense really hurt. He's in my opinion the best defensive tackle in West Tennessee. We're playing well in the 2nd half but not putting a whole game together.

I believe the biggest reason Huntingdon is looking better in the 2nd half of games is depth.  Huntingdon has to figure out how to be ready to play d as soon as they step off the bus.  The level of play changes once playoffs start and not sure Huntingdon is ready to meet that challenge yet.  Huntingdon has a real good team.  Lack of tough competition makes you complacent.  When you meet at team such as Wayne co that is ready to hit you in the mouth, you have to match that intensity early on.

    • 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.
