I have zero influence over that program, so I'm not exactly sure what you're asking me to do...

I'm not trying to stick up for those guys. They had no business reacting the way that they did, regardless of the circumstances. And yes, karma sucks.

it was a general statement. i didn’t mean you specifically go talk to them. sorry if i hurt your feelings, but being a beech alum and being a part of the beech family for 15+ years, after what happened that first game i’m sorry but i’m not gonna hold back. i will not beat a dead horse though. i said what i said and i’ll leave it at that

Didn’t see this one coming and it was not a disrespect to WV. As a Powell guy, I wish they would get away from the flash and just play. Get the gold ball and then let everyone else tell you how great you are. They’ll be older next year and will be tough but an early bounce tonight should humble everyone.

These guys needed a humbling loss, and hopefully they'll grow from it. When AC bounced them early in 2010, that young team was knocked down a peg. They came back and almost won the whole thing in 2011.

I'm concerned for Powell in this.  Their only two losses were road trips.  This is their longest road trip yet.  Agree they should win, but I thought that for certain about the OR game too.

I didn't even think of the added pressure this week after Mr. Football nomination.

 

Am I allowed to say I told you so?

The kid is a good player.  I'm impressed by him.   I think this is indicative of something much larger than the play of one kid.

He is good. But overrated as usual. He has had the luxury of decent up front OL and incredibly athletic WRs. He looks like he might bench 120 tops and his footwork is typical HS ball and his Accuracy is 50-50.

    • 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.
