I did not mean for my post to come off as meaning you were looking for something in particular in General's post.

It's a general statement to anyone and everyone, that if any of us go looking for something in particular that is what we will most likely find.

I found nothing racial about.  But then again that's just me.  

 

Same sentiment here. After reading the comments, I felt like I had missed something obvious maybe, but when I read it again, I'm still not sure. General likes being a contrarian, but never seen anything dirty out of him.

I try to look for the good in people.  All the time.  Maybe too much.  My thoughts are that eventually their spots will show.  If not in this lifetime then the next one.

He’s definitely a baller but Fairley has a couple of other lesser known studs that have been shining lately. I’m intrigued to see how Gene does getting Fairley prepared for a team of Peabody’s caliber. On paper yes Peabody should be the favorite, but energy and getting a team to buy in and believe is something that can’t be measured on the stat sheets. He’s changing the culture at Fairley and laying the foundation for a good program if they can keep him around. It’s not a fluke that Fairley doesn’t play like the typical small Memphis team. It all stems from their coaching and his pedigree. If Fairley can minimize self inflicted wounds/penalties they’ll be fine. Their defense is what I think will win then this game. Good luck to both teams. 

Back to football. You make great points, but may not realize the caliber of coaching at Peabody... they literally have 4 excellent HS head coaches training and instructing these kids. Jacobs, Vowell, Marley, Bland. I am not familiar at all with Trenton's team or staff, yet these names are familiar to me because they have earned reputations separate from Peabody. The most incredible thing about Trenton may just be the "how on earth does a 2A team have an all star coaching staff" story.

Jacobs Vowell Driggers Taylor. Marley is middle school coach but he helps some. I was surprised when I heard marley was going to be middle school coach. It made sense when I heard an interview they did with him.

You’re right, I know nothing about Peabody except they are the clear favorites to repeat as champs and have been taking everybody they've played so far to the woodshed. From the clips I’ve seen and the talk on these boards; they have the athleticism and talent as a Memphis team topped with a winning program, great coaching and community support. I definitely understand why they are the favorites to win this game. Gonna be a great challenge on both sides. Of course over confident fans will underestimate  their teams opponents but I doubt that Fairley or Peabody coaches and players will. This is what playoff football is all about.

He is a great coach you can tell. He turned the program around.

Great post you are right about it being a challenge on both sides. There are fans that are over confident but just like you said I doubt fairley or Peabody coaches or players will underestimate.

    • 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.
