Fayetteville  had said that they were missing players against Marion 

I believe they had a couple linemen that didn’t play because of eligibility. We lost a starting lineman during that game as well. Marion won that game in the trenches and any Fayetteville fan that was there will say the same. Also we were faster than them. Had 1 TD on a kickoff called back as well. We handled the freshman rb that night. They had another rb (I believe was #7) that was the better rb honestly. If I'm not mistaken he was hurt and didn't play in the title game. Teams get better as the season goes on for sure and that was evident with Fayetteville. They deserved that championship because they were the better team that day.

At times he did especially after Stone was out of there.    However, their defensive play kept them in the game.  Without him, they would have been toast.  Frankly, if they were that good, they would have beat Jasper and Gordy earlier in the year.  They struggled twice with a Huntland team that shut the freshman down. 

We lost 20+ seniors from the 2019 team and most of the starters for 2020 saw their first varsity action ever against Marion. We were missing 7 starters against Gordy. No argument for the Huntland games.

Also, KJ is great but we are not a 1 player team. Lots of other guys made big plays for us all year including title game. We have 2 other RBs that I would consider elite and closed out the Moore Co and Lake Co playoff games for us.

I can’t say much about marions game. I just know the Fayetteville guys were saying they were missing players

We weren't talking about who deserved to win.  They still struggled with a Huntland team, twice. If Huntland was able to shut down a freshmen, our coaches missed something.

We installed a new offense on Monday of that week and really didn't have it down pat. It's a mute point really. Can't always compare against other teams. Sp had a very good team and I felt they would win that game to be honest. 

I was surprised (and ecstatic)

The post was about Fayetteville missing players and I alluded to that. Our game was brought up and I explained how Marion won their game with Fayetteville. Too many locals thought because we beat them that sp would walk all over them.

Marion Co was the better team in week 1. MC did have a lightning fast RB. We did a lot of growing up and getting better between week 1 and title game. I think we were playing our best at the end.

You are right about RB getting hurt in the semis. He is a really tough guy. I think he dressed and tried to play in the title game, but he was still hurt.

You were definitely clicking at the end of the season. Wasn't that rb a junior?

    • 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.
