The Rematch: Trousdale @ Watertown

Great game! Wow! I personally thought the defenses were outstanding. The offenses, they took what they could. Both teams had a big run. Other than that there wasn’t a lot going on. I think I heard TCradio say afterwards that both teams had roughly 250 yds. The trench war was brutal and the NG for Watertown did a great job of clogging it up and making a pile all night. This was for sure a classic.

As for officiating, there were missed calls both ways. On the punt, I was on the opposite end but Chumley for sure got close, too close for comfort but I also thought it could have been KCI (that’s Kick Catch Interference for non rulebook peeps). Then on the KO, many have already chimed in, Ford for sure touched the ball but the rule is, the ball must be possessed in the field of play before it can enter the end zone and be brought out. Otherwise as soon as it crosses the goal line, touchback. Now the BJ, FJ and SJ were lazy all night. They FJ and SJ never once came off the sideline. Very poor effort from there part and as a former official, I was very disappointed in that being a Qrt Final Crew. The SJ and BJ missed a PI on Watertown on about the 5. The ball is under thrown and Ford slows down. The defender never looked back for the ball and ran over him, text book call and both officials were in perfect position, no flag. Then on the 2nd to last drive, the SJ is in perfect position again and chose not the call a face mask. Those are just the ones I saw. I’m sure there were some the other way too. Again for a Qrt Final crew, I expect better. 
 

All in all though, it was a heck of a game. I wish the Watertown Srs best of luck in your future endeavors. You all should be proud as you are apart of the NEW Watertown! The program has made huge gains the last several years and back to back Qrt Finals is something you can hang your hat on. The community is all in and it only helps in this rivalry with TC. I respected them before and even more after tonight. 
 

TC was able to outlast by the Grace of God and now we have to rest and heal up for the next showdown.

I would venture to say Westy's 95 team would beat both of these teams tonight.

Most likely. This is not the best TC team by a long shot. No offense to the kids on the team. In areas we are exceptional. Others we are average. We do a good job of supporting or hiding our weaknesses. If Watertown goes up 2 scores tonight, the way their defense played, it’s game. But similar to the regular season except the shoes on the other foot, they didn’t finish and let TC hang around and it cost them.

    • 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.
