7 is a stretch, but 8 is ridiculous. How? You beating Blackman all of the sudden?! Sneaking into that fourth spot is an outside possibility with an upset win over Cookeville, but even that is unlikely. You won’t beat any of the Big 3, and it will not be close. Just telling it like it is. A 6 win season at WC is a “once in a blue moon accomplishment” and that would certainly be something to be proud of. 

Just beat Blackman 35-28

I certainly was wrong!! I’ve been shocked how bad Blackman is and this is a continuation of that. But full credit to Warren County! Or maybe simply CJ Taylor...5 TDs tonight! One man show!! Barring an upset loss to Coffee County or Siegel, the Pioneers will return to the playoffs for the first time in who knows when?! I looked it up and 2008 was the last legit playoff appearance. The two most recent were as a result of that Super 32 the TSSAA did where everyone automatically made the playoffs and WC had no business being in. A playoff trip to Mt. Juliet or Hendersonville will likely await in the first round this year...but what an accomplishment that would be having to play in that Rutherford County region!

As mentioned earlier, Blackman certainly lacked discipline tonight and seemed very lethargic through the first 2 and a half quarters.

That being said, they still have very capable athletes, and had there been much more time on the clock I truly believe they pull off the epic comeback. 
 

Taylor is without a doubt a once in a generation talent for this area. To win POY in this district as a junior is impressive, but he is mounting a heck of a senior year and amassing college offers. This team has a little more in the tank, but will struggle against the upper tier talent at the end of the schedule, most likely dropping 3 of the last 4 games .

They’ll have a shot at an 8-2 season, which would be remarkable. They cannot hang with the talent at Oakland and Riverdale, but the Cookeville game could be a good one...likely for 3rd. It’s a once in a generation player/team to be sure, but the McMinnville folks deserve it and should enjoy the ride. It won’t get any better than this season.

If WC can beat Blackman, then Oakland is the only game that is probably out of reach for them. As previously stated, they shown that they have personnel to make Oakland sweat it out as well.

Is this an outlier season from what we've seen from WC in the past? Yes, but it doesn't have to be. They have too much talent to be awful. I can see this being a kind of season that propels them to at least Cookeville's level, where the floor should be a playoff berth and the ceiling can be a 7-8 win season

A combination of coaching and talent makes for a very good season.

8 is not ridiculous.

    • 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.
