Happy to be here from the sense that coming into the season it was viewed as a rebuilding year.  This team has overachieved coming down the stretch, but now THEY believe they can win.  I wouldn't get my sights set on Cookeville just yet.  Even though they're a very young team, they've learned to win.  The Page team they beat two weeks ago was very solid and helped the pass defense substantially.  Hillsboro is as good as anyone in 5A.  

Don't be fooled into thinking it will be a walk...

I for one won't be expecting this to be a walk and I doubt very seriously that the team and coaches will.We all know what kind of football Region 6 plays and what kind of team Beech always fields.I have the ultimate respect for Beech posters eers and Tandem for their accurate  and objective reporting on these threads.Tandem, in early 2011, predicted the Patriots potential. Early this year eers noticed this years team's possibilities and stated them here.What they say should be thoughtfully considered.

Maybe, Maybe not. I will tell you this, if Henry County plays like they have the last few weeks, it will be. They absolutely wear you down and take over in the second half. 

The same "if they play like they have the last few weeks" can be said for Beech as well.  Beech owned the 4th quarter against Hillsboro.   Not sure the wear them down theory is the one that wins it for HC.  I like Beech's chances if it's close in the 4th.

HC will be the best team Beech has played, but I don't think they are as athletic as Hillsboro.

Will be interesting.... and I'll get some good catfish.

I try to keep all my posts real and objective.  As you stated, I saw the potential early in the year and have honestly been a little surprised by Beech, as I expected HC to be here.  I have nothing but respect for the Patriots' program.  I know Beech is coming in as the underdog, but I also know they believe they can win and I think that alone will keep it interesting.

I'm one that believes this will be a slugfest and low scoring defensive battle.

If HC turns the ball over twice in the first qtr inside their own 30 like they did Friday, Beech will take advantage of it.

But HC's D has been playing very well, esp against the run.

HC's strength is their run D     vs   Beech's strength is their run O. Should be fun.

GO BIG RED

I will admit that Beech has great coaching. That FACT will keep them in the game for awhile. Henry County hasn't had to go against the caliber of coaching that Beech has in a few weeks. If I'm Beech, however, I'm a little concerned about how my team's youthfulness will handle this stage and setting.

Beech is young, however they did played in the State championship game last year so I don't think the stage/setting is much of a factor. Good point about facing a great coached team - its been a few weeks.

I expect a very physical game and look forward to it.

Now we're hearing some sensible comments.  

I think Beech will come ready to play.  They are battle tested and I don't think they will be intimidated, either by HC or the setting.  I anticipate a hard fought game myself, yet I still give the edge to HC in a tight one.  The ball isn't round and takes some funny bounces though.  A break here or there and it could go either way.

I respect Beech and all they have accomplished this year but are we getting ready for a football game with a spot in the state championship game or are y'all going to get your nails done? 

Easy big fella...I'm not getting effeminate . I still stand firmly by my prediction that the Patriots will win this game, 38-10. Too much for the young bucs to handle.

    • 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.
