Anyone see Forrest vs. Macon Co. last night?

Forrest made the 2 hour bus trip and went toe to toe with a 4A playoff team that returned 13 starters. Both defenses were dominant. Neither team was able to maintain drives and there is lots of offensive work to do before 8/23. Typical high school scrimmage between two evenly matched teams. Some bright spots but lots to work on. 

I stand corrected on the jamboree. Forrest will indeed take on 6A Rockvale in a few weeks.

Lemme analyze this a little more. My between the lines in parentheses

"Forrest made the 2 hour bus trip (Forrest should have been the more tired team, but were evenly matched)  and went toe to toe with a 4A playoff team that returned 13 starters (higher class, more starters returning, and went to  the playoffs, Forrest should’ve been overmatched). Both defenses were dominant (Forrest is gonna have a good defense this year against the given competition). Neither team was able to maintain drives and there is lots of offensive work to do before 8/23 (But if Forrest either a) wasn’t showing much b) were just experimenting or c)_ can get it together, this could be a great year). Typical high school scrimmage between two evenly matched teams (alluded to above). Some bright spots but lots to work on. "

Extras:

  • Macon got shellacked by Westmoreland last year. 
  • Macon beat Portland, a 2019 Forrest opponent, last year, 21-12 
  • Macon lost in the forst round at home to Nolensville, a non competitive 42-7. 

I never said they were a good 4A playoff team. :-D  Should be comparable to Portland and Lawrence Co though. 

Macon Co finished 2nd in their region but got swept by Marshall Co's region in the first round. So their best region team would be no better than 5th place in Region 4-4A.

Macon rb/db and their TE/DE are very good but over all still in rebuilding mode under second year coach Shoulders.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
