Good luck the rest of the season. I do feel ya'll have some things to work out against the tougher competition, but should cruise into the playoffs and after that who knows. Final thing: I've been on the sidelines a long time (not a coach) and one thing I noticed in pregame warmups was your QB has a flaw which caused all his throws over 15 yards to flutter. After I saw that, I felt pretty confident he wouldn't be able to beat the man coverage.

This should be a good one, both teams lost a lot from last year due to graduation, but seem to have just reloaded, really not sure who to pick but am betting on it being another good game going down t

We’ve got our share of overzealous fans, but HC has won a bunch of games the last 3 years. Ask almost anyone around the state about the HC fanbase, though, and they’ll be quick to talk about how frien

Yes u are right a lot had to do with being on the road, hostile environment, first start, freshman, playing for HC. The last half of the year should be looking pretty good.

Like  I said not a coach, but I do know a fluttering ball when I see one. My guess would be a grip issue. His ball just doesn't have a tight spiral. Not being critical btw. Just something I THOUGHT I picked up on.

He actually throws a beautiful ball, but it’s something he will have to get more consistent with. He threw an ugly flutter in our jamboree that ended up being picked off, and then bounced back and threw a 30-yard dime for a touchdown the very next series. 

He’s still coming into his own regarding arm strength.

U are right. He may have a few balls that dont look the best but I have seen him throw some dimes on the money. The good part he is a FRESHMAN! lol I will take it! Kid has talent no doubt.

His hands are also still growing. It might be a grip issue as rebel alluded to, but I agree he’s still very talented.

Oh ok, thought maybe you had some experience training quarterbacks or something. He’s always looking to hone his skills. I’m probably way too biased to really comment on this, but if he had any balls flutter... it was most likely due to his fluttering heart. He’ll let one slip sometimes.. but his mechanics are usually pretty sound. I figure a lot of it had to do with his first start, on the road, in a hostile environment, and a bunch of 6’3” 230 pound dudes trying to kill him. He’s definitely got a lot of work to do, much room for improvement, and nowhere near where he wants to be as a player. He’s his own worst critic, and his Daddy is a close second, but I think he’ll be okay as the season goes. No excuses, he has to get that out of his system and play much better to help his team be successful.. and hopefully he will. It won’t be from lack of effort, because the kid works really hard. We’ll see what happens. Go Big Red.

You have a right to be proud. Awesome talent. Just don't want to see too much put on him too soon.  Haywood does indeed have some beasts. I was very impressed by his toughness and can see him as a D1 qb. My critique was offered because I have watched several great hs qbs struggle with that type ball. Knowing many college coaches, it is one of the things they will hone in on if they have two equals come scholie time. Good luck in the future. And as someone who was in your position any years ago, don't be overly hard on him this early. Mix in plenty of praise.

Thank you for that. I try to praise him but also keep him humble, and tell him to enjoy the ride instead of worrying about the destination all the time. He’s a very smart, driven, and down to earth kid.. and was watching film with his ice packs Friday night after the game when I walked into his room. I’m more proud of his work ethic and the type of man he’s becoming than I’ll ever be of him as a football player. Hopefully we’ll see some improvement this week in Hendersonville. The road definitely doesn’t get any easier. Good luck to you all as well. GBR

      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.
