Congrats to Milan. We’ve seen PC up close a few times in the playoffs and know, undisciplined or not, that those boys are legit and can play with anyone. I didn’t get to watch the game but  going to watch the replay in a bit, so I don’t have an opinion on what happened regarding the officiating. Regardless of that, Milan is definitely worthy of being where they are. Any team that scores 27 unanswered on the Firebirds is a stout football team. I’d like to think you guys could play ten times and each would win five. 

I think 5-5 is very realistic.

Refs changed the entire game back in Milan favor. I hate even having this conversation feels like it takes away from Milan. Crazy stuff but good luck to Milan and purp yall boys keep grinding.

Idk how you can say that while admitting the false starts were earned. The false starts are what got Milan back in the game.

Congrats to Milan! First time back in the big one since 2012. Admittedly I was rooting for Milan because my cousins boy is on the team but I was surprised at all the penalties for both sides. The refs absolutely could've swallowed the whistle on a some of those but many were earned. The PC false starts absolutely drove me crazy. There were even a couple more they could've called but didn't if I'm not mistaken. One a different note, one can't help but wonder what Milan will look like next year with a full off-season with this staff.

The progress this team has made throughout the season has been amazing to watch. With several key pieces coming back big things are in store for this team.

It’s crazy to think that from 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 in their 4 years at the 3A level that Pearl-Cohn only made it to Cookeville one time in that window.  It felt like they were legitimately the best team in the state for a couple of those years.  

I respect your opinion. Just curious which two years??

2017 and honestly with the injuries to Tyson and Cox I’d say 2020.  Both years Pearl-Cohn slipped up and got beat and outplayed in the semifinals.  Both years they blew double digit leads.  

 

The crazy thing is that in 2016 they probably had the best team in 4A also.  They couldn’t get out of their own way at Memphis East in the semifinals and lost to a team that ultimately won a state title and many people felt like PC was clearly the best team in the state that year in 4A also.  

 

That just goes to show that football games involve so many unpredictable variables that influence the outcome and those outcomes go far beyond talent level of players.

    • 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.
