Absolutely. We are not healthy.... Does not favor our chances of knocking down the chargers. 

This may be the last time these teams meet for a while. Looks like SGC is headed to 4a. 

The last couple of times these teams have played they were great games. 

Yeah, I saw that. The Commercial Appeal just posted their version of next year's classification. It shows the 2021 Region 7-3A to be Covington, Ripley, Dyersburg, Milan, Haywood, and Bolivar. And SGC, as you said, would move to 4A. 

Y'all have been competing well in this region, and I would miss the rivalry. However, all of us Covington fans are saying "Big Ten" as we look at next year. This shake-up would re-unite us with several of those old rivals that we played in the old Big Ten Conference years ago. I, for one, will really anticipate the 2021 line-up. Maybe Covington and SGC could schedule a non-region game in the future.

Covington Leader is reporting that QB1 is likely out this week and QB2 is out this week. QB3 is a freshman and they do not want to toss him in against SG. So they have been utilizing one of our starting DBs (Fayne, JR) at QB.  We know he can run and apparently he can throw as well. Should be real interesting.

Sounds like health is going to be a real issue for both teams....

Do you by chance have a link to that article? I would love to read it.

I wondered what we would do at QB. Last year in the Milan game, we moved Marcus Hayes into the QB position and let him run the ball that way. He was very effective. Fayne is a superb athlete, though, and I expect that this might work pretty well. I hate to take him off the defense, though. He's made some great plays there already this year.

The good thing is we have another off week next week and, if necessary, we can probably rest him against McNairy and the have another 2 weeks to get him healthy....so he essentially has a little better than a month to get 100%

I have been impressed with Fayne this year. Aside from playing well at DB, he has subbed in at running back and made some great runs from scrimmage, plus catching some passes, as I recall. He's been our punt returner, and has the only punt return TD in the Shelby Metro area this year. 

We might actually have a better running game with Jalen in the backfield. I am concerned  as to whether he can pass under fire, plus worrying about his ball-handling skills. I guess we'll see tomorrow night.

I have always enjoyed your posts! 

I am hoping for a good, clean, injury free game. When these teams get together it seems to always be a good one! Lets hope for the same tomorrow night! 

 

GO HORNETS!

    • 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.
