Week 2 Henry County @ Beech

Kudos to Henry County. I really thought Beech would run off with it, but rivalry games are different. Your RB ran like a man possessed. Several times I thought he was down at the line and the next thing you know he is right at or past the marker. I honestly hate it for your kicker. Lots of pressure. Plenty of distance. A little wide right. I hope for his sake he can let it go. Good luck the rest of the season. Your fans are what high school football is about. This could very well be the first of two games this year with Beech.

Heartbreaking is the only word that comes to mind! One heck of a ball game! Evenly matched overall but Beech had the edge in special teams! Got to keep our heads up. We did improve! Most people had Beech has a favorite to get to Cookeville and if we make a short field goal we would have beat that team! Keep our heads up like I said! We will be ok be the end of the year!

Did not make the game, but listening to the radio it sounded like most of the positive plays that were not preceded by big hole by the offensive line were produced by Joe Travis on a limited number of plays. Same with the Haywood county game were the only touchdown was with Travis lined up at QB. It seems like the majority of the time the ball is in the hands of someone other than Travis, they need dominant blocking from the Oline to succeed. I know Foster has an injury, and Travis is counted on for defense, but are there not other options?

Donte Davis and Jamarcus Johnson ran the ball really well tonight. I agree I would like to see Travis more on offense since Foster is out. The word is Jayln Foster is going to be back next week. Fingers crossed! Either way from week 1 to week 2 I personally saw a much improved HC team! To be honest I'm more confident now that we will be a force come playoff time! When Foster comes back yall better get ready because he is about to unleash! Like I said there has been a lot of talk about Beech potentially making it to Cookeville this year. Well we took them to their limit with a freshman QB and our star RB out! Future is still bright! Chin up! 

GO BIG RED!

HC had some boys running the ball that were tough to bring down, if youre adding a "starting RB" to that mix Id be excited as a fan as well. Full disclosure though Beech was missing its starting center who anchors their OL and played most of the game without their starting FB/LB.  It will be fun if we happen to meet again in the playoffs.

By the way Foster who is out with injury at RB had over 1,700 yards rushing last year and made highlight plays all the time last year. Should be interesting when he returns!

HC running backs tonight were very physical and the coaching staff had a good game plan.

Did you not see that #8 didn't play in the second half and was on crutches at the end?

    • 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.
