I don’t know that SP can win. It looked to me that Whitwell has better athletes across the board, but I expect a closer game. Whitwell played pretty close to perfect and SP did not. SP will have to play almost perfect to have a chance against a superior team. If the Whitwell athletes get in open field they are gone. 

I assure you Whitwell didnt play close to perfect. We played without 3 most of the game. Didn't throw the ball much. SP got around and behind defense due to some busted coverages and force issues... Whitwell still has stuff left in the bag. SP will be ready for the rematch... I figured Whitwell would have a hard time to score but SP defense didnt play well at all. Rematch will be fun but Whitwell is just bigger and a year older. As to next year... Whitwell returns enough to be competitive... Promise you that.

I’ve noticed you’ve not been saying much this week about the game last night. Look forward to the next meeting in the playoffs. How many times has Grider lost to the same team twice in one year?

I told you since jamboree what I thought would happen. Whitwell was the bigger, stronger, faster, older team. They took care of business like they should have this season.

We will see. I call it like it is. Congrats on the win. It shouldn’t be a big surprise. Enjoy this season.

Good win! Congrats to Whitwell.  I believe those Pirates are bit overrated.

One Pirate “Ambassador” has been trying to tell you folks for awhile that Whitwell was for real and SP was still a year away from being a legitimate contender. One more time... those large talented, senior classes in 1A are hard to do business with. Just look at history and it is proven time after time.

    • 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.
