I know Gibson County put up 61 points last week. Alot of that had to do with UC turnovers. How much has the GC offense really improved? 

Everyone is talking about the turnovers, but we still had over 350 yards of offense against Union City... Adam Smithson at QB had 200+ yards and Hayden McGuire at RB had around 150 yards rushing... WR's made some good catches... we are fine...

Wasn't meaning anything bad about the turnovers. That's part of football. How much offense did UC put up? West Carroll does have a decent run game.

Hard to say if UC is a true test of GC offense UC has given up alot of points this year on D ad I mean alot pretty durn close to 170 ! But the GC offense looms able to consistently move the ball better than last year to this point !

Union City ran the ball at will... but, the scout on Union City is that if you hit the QB hard and make him pitch the ball, there's likely to be a couple of fumbles mixed in there... the good thing for us is that we won't see this type of offense again unless we play them again in the playoffs. Even then, I feel confident that we'd beat them again.

It’s hard to beat a good team twice. I don’t think West Carroll will challenge y’all either.

That's good to hear. West Carroll may keep it somewhat close by running the clock and not turning the ball over. I believe turnovers are 90 percent caused by the defense and 10 percent self inflicted. Good luck to both teams.

GCPioneer, first let me congratulate GC on the big win last week and on the improvement to the program, that’s a big deal.  I think it’s great to see a program which isn’t a perennial power rise up and challenge the blue bloods.  In one post after the UC win, it was stated that in the coming years Gc was going to be at the top of this region.  I don’t doubt that statement or am disputing it, I just want to know why, considering the rest of the teams in it who consistently are pretty good.  Thank you and good luck!

Not GCPioneer.  But the middle school team has some of the best athletes GC has had in a while.  They only lost one game last year to Trenton by one score.  This year they have beat Trenton and Milan with a running clock. And lost to Union City by one score.   Only lost 2 games In the last 2 years.   We are all hoping that translates to the high school level.

I appreciate the positive words about our program... Coach Finley and the high school staff have done a heck of a job as well as Coach Papech and his staff at the middle school level. We've also got people working with the elementary school kids practicing during the week and playing games on Saturday mornings.

The facilities are top notch... nice weight room and weight room equipment, nice locker room with an indoor practice facility connected to it. Additionally, a brand new football stadium with a great looking field.

Secondly, the athletes that are at the middle school level will be the best of athletes that Gibson County has seen in years... not 1 or 2 athletes, but 4 or 5 great athletes who are football players! As stated by westtnsportsfan, the middle school beat Peabody 48-6 and Milan 48-24 (we play 3 Oaks on Thursday I believe)... will we be beating those teams like that in the years to come, I highly doubt it... but it does make for very interesting times for Gibson County football.

Also, something that needs to be kept in mind by the locals here... this will be the fifth, or sixth, year that all of the middle schools will be combined for football... this consolidation is going to pay off in the long term process of getting Gibson County football where it should be. The groundwork for long term success is in place and taking shape for our football program....

    • 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.
