TCA hosts South Gibson.......Official Thread

This Friday, the TCA Lions (D2-A 1-0) host South Gibson(D1-AAA 1-0). This will be the only game this season that TCA plays a public school. Both teams are coming off 2018 seasons in which they were 6-6. Each team made the D1 playoffs in their respective classes and both fell in the second round of the playoffs.

South Gibson will have a definite size advantage in this game, both on the field and with the size of the rosters. South Gibson will feature a wing-t type offense with a couple of quality runners and a big offensive line. TCA will feature the spread formation. In a break from TCA tradition, they used the spread offense to ground and pound their opponent from last week. Three different TCA backs combined for over 300 yards of rushing offense.

I figure that South Gibson will try and use their size advantage to wear down a smaller TCA team on both sides of the ball and utilize a misdirection running attack on the offensive side. Look for TCA to again try and run the ball in this game. However, I believe if TCA is to be successful they will have to develop some other options that are at their disposal.

Looking for a large crowd at this game. If you can't attend the game in person, there will be exclusive radio coverage on Fox Sports Jackson 105.3. Audio streaming will be available at http://www.foxsportsjackson.com . You can also a listen to the game on your cell phone by calling a 605-468-5762. TCA Live video coverage of this game will come from an association of the TCA video Club and Fox Sports Jackson 105.3. That link is available at http://www.tcalions.com/live .Radio coverage will begin at 6:30 p.m. with video coverage commencing just before kickoff. TCA's veteran broadcast team of Dave McCulley and Stan Gerard will have both the radio and video call for the TCA coverage of this game.

Reitz this game is a mismatch on several levels. Team roster, size etc!!!  BUT SG has had let down games every year. Maybe they will over look little ole lions. Curious to see how the progresses. 

Oh, I agree completely. Perhaps this will be one of their let down games. It will be interesting to see how the offense is tweeked this week. I'm sure that we will not show everything this week with a region game coming in week 3 against our rivals over on McClellen Road at our house.

Coach Stidham’s son is the qb at South Gibson. Don’t let that wing-t offense fool ya. Kid had a big night throwing the ball last week against Lexington. Kid can chunk it. 

I am Friends with Stidham. His boy is a very good athlete and smart.  That will be the hard part Friday is being ready for those pass attempts.

    • 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.
    • 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.
