Lebanon at Gallatin


Recommended Posts

An old rivalry gets renewed Friday night after a brief break. Both teams come into 2019 looking to build off of last year.

Gallatin had its ups and downs in 2018 and hope to be improved this season. The word is that they have looked better this summer.

Lebanon is coming in off one of their best seasons in a long time going 8-3 last year. But they graduated some very good players in key positions namely a Quarterback now at Ball State and a Lineman now at Georgia. They will rely on the running back on offense and may not be as good defensively as they were last year but still should be solid.

I know this series goes back but this site only goes to 2001. But Gallatin has won 11 of the 12 meetings since that point. These teams haven't played in a couple seasons so we will find out if things have changed come Friday night. Either way I expect it to be a low scoring slobber knocker.

Gentry has done a solid job at rebuilding Lebanon.  They have a renewed spirit across the river.  Gallatin is undergoing a similar process.   Excitement has built for Chad Watson’s debut.  Should be a huge crowd between these long time rivals.   

I have been hearing about Lebanon’s strong running game and their defense seems to be solid again.

They should be good upfront on both sides of the ball as they got some college prospects there again. On defense they have a good experienced secondary but lost most of what was a really good group of linebackers. On offense they have a 1,000-yard back coming back who put on 25-30 pounds in the offseason and will be handful. They also have some other really good athletes returning at wide receiver.

My biggest question mark for them is the Quarterback. Ive seen him play in a backup role the last two seasons in several games and whenever he came in the offense went nowhere. So he is gonna have to be much improved or else teams will be able to just load up against the run.

We'll see who had the disadvantages after the game. Very interested to see where all of Gallatin's disadvantages are.

Let’em hate....gonna be a whole lot more of that in years to come.  Winning brings haters.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
