Heck, Beech is a winner in my book regardless of the outcome in Paris. Frankly, they were fortunate to beat Summit in the first round. But something seemed to click after that and they’ve played two of their best games of the season the last two weeks, particularly on defense.  My guess is this coaching staff would’ve been happy with 6 or 7 wins and maybe a first round win with the inexperience this team had coming in. They will start somewhere around 16 underclassmen (6  sophomores) and give it their best shot. One thing these youngsters do have is the benefit of growing up in the Shackle Island community and knowing that this is what Beech football does-go deep in the playoffs. Much like the HC kids do I’m sure.

Beech is that team that just will not go away, scrappy little bunch! This should be a fun game!

YOU always keep it real and tell it how it is, if Beech had no shot you would say it, since you are saying they will show some resistance I am buying, should be a good one!

We're getting old I guess.

There was a time you'd tell us how ugly this game would be for us. Of course, y'all had Jalen Hurd and it really was ugly for us.

Looking forward to this game and hearing y'all's assessment.

One peculiar item of note is that HC has not been throwing the ball much at all in these playoffs. We were passing at a clip of 12-20 times a game earlier in the season, but have thrown fewer than 5 passes in each of the last two games. 

We obviously haven’t missed a beat offensively with the running game finding its dominance, but it’s still an odd development considering we have a QB and a WR (possibly 2) capable of playing on Saturdays. 

Certainly not complaining. Just an observation.

Honestly we havent needed much from the passing game when you are picking up over 300 yards a game on the ground. We have the passing game in our back pocket if we need it.

I agree! But it’s still unusual to go from straight up building your offense around your 2 most dependable senior leaders, who absolutely demolished the record book btw, to basically relegating them to spot duty when the games actually matter. I’m just hoping there’s not a lingering injury involved....

But hey, as long as we keep winning I don’t guess it matters. I love watching the “Phantom” and company wreak havoc on opposing defenses.

Think a lot of it has to do with game script. Parrish and Thompson hooked up for a long score early in the Kirby game and it seemed to open up the run after that.

We need to come up with a name for Mr. Johnson! That boy took us on a drive against Haywood and Kirby!

I guess “The Closer” is too bland a nickname, but it sure suits him well, cause that young man is built for the 4th quarter!! 

One of the more impressive sophomores we’ve had in recent memory IMO

      Groves got the ball over 20+ times. His son arguably played the best for East in that game. 3rd and long multiple times and he came up big to continue a couple drives. Please shut up for the 3rd year in a row

      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.
