Summertown v Loretto Round 5... Who you got?

I think GC is one of the best teams in the state, but what worries me about them is that there is not that one "go to player" when the going gets tough like Greenfield has with Moore and Darby.  That was the difference in the championship game.  In the state tourney and substate games, you need a player that can settle everyone down and take over if they have to, IMO. I may be wrong because there are always 5 really good players on the floor for GC and any one may step up.  But I like Moore and Darby as leaders for Greenfield.  Like someone said, they are "as cool as the other side of the pillow."

Never know how these things are going to draw out. Clarkrange and Clay County are good teams. Clarkrange I know will be tough. Greenfield or any other team not necessarily guaranteed to beat either, IMO if they draw in the first round. GC shot the ball as poorly as they have all year in UTM and they had some great looks at times. We all knew they would because every other team has. Let's not forget that Greenfield had a major advantage playing their in the Disrict Tounament. Greenfield finally played a decent game there after there forth try. You guys are making out like the other teams in the tournament not named Greenfield just ought not show up.

You are wrong in saying " You guys are making out like the other teams in the tournament not named Greenfield just ought not show up." and including me in you guys. I do not think that, and haven't. You or Greenfield should be the favorites to win the Gold, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't show up. Loretto has some injuries as does other teams. I have always been a fan of your team.

I appreciate that. We hadn't got there yet. I watched Memphis Business last night. They are every bit as athletic as Trenton. I just seen some posts where Summertown or Loretta one of the two would get knocked out by Greenfield. I do think Clarkrange is as good as any team in the state. If every one gets out of sub-state it should be a very competitive tournament.

When we got down 14-0 early, I thought we settled in but it was too late and we couldn't recover. We shot the ball terrible both nights at UTM. We cut it to three and they sensed the run and froze the ball and it worked with three minutes left. I thought that our best defender being on the bench a lot of the game in foul trouble didn't help. But I agree with you on Moore and Darby. They are beasts and deserve all the recognition they get. You going to Memphis Saturday Night? I watched Memphis teams last night and they are a good team no doubt. Neither team pressed and both teams had several TO's. I am hoping our press will create major problems for them because team we are playing can shoot the lights out if not contested.

I will be there.  If they don't press with the athleticism they have, I think you guys win no problem.  GC is disciplined enough to work the ball around and get good shots.  GC by 8.

Go Loretto and Summertown!

Have you watched them this year? I want it to be a track meet. They turned the ball over often with neither team pressing both teams. I feel our pressure could cause some problems. Game is at Kirby High School.

Yes.  A track meet would benefit GC, however I haven't seen GC get into many track meets.  IMO, that is the way GC should play every game, but then again, I am a fan not a coach. lol

    • 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.
    • 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.
