Wing T . Our defense is really playing well and we are best against the run for sure!!

You're run D is about to get the ultimate test. Stratford o-line and running game is no joke. Dont pay no attention to their record. They're for real. Defense is lights out too. Very fast and athletic. Only weakness I saw is passing but they didnt really have to pass against us. Several times I thought we had their back stopped at the line of scrimmage and he'd break out for 10 more dragging us with him. He's a beast.

For Stratford fans who will make the trip to Covington, welcome to Tipton County. I'll give y'all a little food tip, though. Forget that recent development, Nashville hot chicken. We have the original Gus's Fried Chicken in Mason, TN. Make an effort to get over there if you like chicken. 

The other food we like here is BBQ. And, ours is pork shoulder. There are lots of places to find good BBQ.

Good luck to Covington.  Pretty sure yall will win this one big. But big bad alcoa will be next, so sorry to say but yall are just playing for the silver ball

Well, we would be glad to play Alcoa again this year if we can get by Stratford. We're not scared of Alcoa. I think we made a pretty good showing against them last year. They are very good, make no mistake. If we could play them and not turn the ball over, I think that would help. Our turnovers last year cost us big-time. And Alcoa is so good that they are able to make you pay when you do turn it over.

So, I will not get caught up in worrying about that unless we can get by Stratford. Anyway, to all the folks who say we are playing for second place, I'll say what I always say to that "there are a lot of teams in Tennessee that are not in second place and who would love to be."

That’s fine at least we’re not home now. It’s funny how everyone that loses points that out . If we’re lucky enough to play Alcoa again they may blow us out but last year we were in that game until late in fourth quarter.

That was then, this is now. I'm pulling for the chargers. But this is the alcoa team that put down 6a maryville. Another goldball for the f5.

    • 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.
