Sorry, I remember you posting in the thread, and I thought it was you who made the statement.  I'm old and senile, so please forgive me.  However, whoever made the post seems to have been spot on.  I haven't seen you on here in a long time.  It's nice to see you back.

No worries. Just wanted to clarify. 

 

I remember that season, I was a sophomore. The team went 10-0 and beat Milan in Milan. At that time, we had a big senior class and athletes across the field and a big o line. As well as the Walden brothers. Everyone was involved and excited following the season and without past seasons to compare to nobodyreally new how good we were.

I wonder how that SGC team would do against the current ones. I new with how well coached the team was and disciplined the staff had the players they would be a competitive team even in the down years. Senior year SGC went 2-8, but was still a tough win. 

 

I don't thing I would still say they are a powerhouse, but still a good football program with things to be excited about.

I like the way you put that. It is a shame that either one of these teams had to lose. Well done, sir. 

Thanks.  I feel for South Gibson.  I know this game had to hurt, but the Hornets are going to be okay.  Several of us had said all week that this game was going to be a toss-up, and it was.  It could have easily gone either way.  I like your earlier post about the game as well.

They do have a first class program.

I would say that most people thought this was going to be a blow out. One friend of mine that laughed in my face when I told him SGC could beat Haywood. " you need to take your orange tented glasses off ".

If the tomcats clean up the yellow garment problem they will be smoking good.

It seems several Haywood posters had the same misconception.  I guess it was just a bit of hubris. 

You're absolutely right about the yellow garment problem.  It has been a problem for Haywood for years, and it has caused them to lose games.  I'm confident that this year's coaching staff will get that under control.

Since I try to be fair and objective, I hate to admit it, but I thought that too.

Haywood did a masterful job at beating SGC in the kicking game. I have never seen SGC exploited like they were Friday night in that aspect. 

I really think it would would have made a big difference in the game if SGC did not give Haywood a short field so many times.

I agree with that. My thinking would have been to onside kick every time after a score. Either way, Haywood was starting at midfield. They got the one they did onside. They tried squibbing, pooch and deep kicking and none worked. Haywood has great returners all over the field.

    • 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.
