I’m pretty sure we rode down there in 2016 knowing how outmatched we were. Lol, trust me I would know

You would from a players perspective  I know, but trust me from a old man!s perspective  who had seen a lot of bad football from H2O. I and a lot of other old timers were optimistic that year that we could hang with them and possibly pull an upset!

How is your brother doing on the plateau?

Don't let the size of the dog fool ya when it comes to its bite!

I’m not fooled. I believe Marion is a year away from being able to beat an H2O or Meigs type team, but I believe they will compete.

So Meigs can't keep up? H20 by 45 over Jasper

That’s crazy and won’t happen.

That game was 49-15 with MC scoring 14 in each of the first three quarters compared to 8 points by Watertown.  If you were familiar with that team they essentially had 3 or 4 backs who alternately had good weeks.  They had 3 backs who had over 1000 yards for the season.  To be honest your team wasn’t in the same league so it isn’t like we were fortunate to have one player step it up.  As for this year it should be close.  MC definitely has the talent to win and they played probably the worst 3 quarters I’ve seen this year last week so hopefully they have that out of their system.

Well there is old 10bears in the flesh. How you been doing big guy? Still hitting those weights pretty heavy?

And i get what you mean, a lot of people had a false sense of security from our record, and heck at times I was probably one. I just remember watching the really good Marion teams thinking we were just a step down. That’s not to say we didn’t go down there confident, and weren’t playing to win, but we knew it was an uphill battle. And as many seniors as we had, there were a lot of sophomores that year who played significant roles on that team especially late in the year when we were banged up, can’t help but think that only helped them down the road.

He’s doing great. Put on about 25 lbs since HS, bulked up pretty good. Hoping to get some significant clock in the spring. 

That’s good and I know he’ll do well! Both of you guys were great players and from everything I heard better kids. 
 

I’ll never forget your brother and the young Webster kid coming to my house as junior high kids trying  to sell me some kind of fundraiser item and me asking them were they collecting for the cheerleading team. Both blushed and really didn’t know how to take me!

 

I’m hoping the youngest will do just as much for the program as y’all did!

There ain’t no doubt that what you see now has been in the making since about 2013. You could constantly see improvement each year!

You’re right. Just like how a couple of the guys on the team this year got major clock as sophomores on the team you’re talking about.  
 

Being apart of really good teams as an underclassman that just didn’t get the job done is a great motivator.

    • 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.
