HALLS @ CLINTON

Halls has their hands full with Karns early on. Halls comes to Dragon Stadium for Clinton's first home game of 2020.

Clinton's freshman quarterback came off the bench and gave Clinton's offense a little spark in the second half last night. Clinton started 6 freshmen and played 7 with Keith coming off the bench. 

If Keith gets the start Friday night against Halls, I think this might be a pretty good game.

Thoughts?

Clinton may or may not win a game this year, but as long as they improve week to week and get better as the season goes on, you can't really ask much more than that for the new coach's first year. 

Dragon could you see that Clinton improved some since week 1. They should be improving and should gave a shot at Halls or maybe they can be competitive. 1st year coach and freshman playing that's valuable experience.

Yes. The defense was playing better but the offense was still struggling until the freshman qb came in and sparked the offense some.

As you know our defense gave up 41 points to AC in the first half and only 14 to CAK.

That's what I remember seeing. And it was looking good. Told Devilman because CAK had just beat no one 28-24 and Boone best Geeneville. I was impressed but I had no idea how it happened until now. That is impressive. I was thinking maybe star player for CAK was out etc...But that is really good!!

Thanks Mavericksinflight. The coach addressed tackling and technique after the game. Talking about trying to work on those 2 things and trying to work on everything else too. Just finding the time is hard because we have so many things that needs to be worked on.

But he also mentioned how many young guys are playing for him already and that all the other teams better get their licks in while they can. LOL!

Clinton and Halls have had some great games in the history of their rivalry.

I remember Clinton beating Halls twice in 92. The 2nd game was Clinton winning 6-0 to earn a trip to the State Championship where we ended up losing to Gallatin 21-13.

Seems like yesterday. 

Yeah Clinton appears to have the talent and a good history but have been hit by the coach transition bug the past few years. And can throw you behind a couple years and then starting with a young class just adds insult to injury. I am excited about the 1st half last week and that's a start. I have a feeling we will have some competition. 

Good luck this week! Hope Clinton does well in rebuilding!!

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
