Not a very good week for this region. Cascade wins big over Cannon County. Other than that, COVID beat Summertown, Loretto blows a huge late lead and loses to Lawrenceburg High School, Richland had the night off, and at last look, Mt Pleasant had an offensive explosion in beating Scotts Hill 28-7

Mt. Pleasant has the talent to be good. Big, strong, quick kids with depth on the sideline...just look "ragtag" and undisciplined. Had to leave at halftime trailing 2-0, but I could see our defense wearing down. They could finish way down in the region from turnovers and sloppy play, or give everyone in region trouble with their athleticism.

I'm gonna stop doing individual threads and recaps. No one cares except R5 people. I'll just stay with this thread. 

Forrest is a bad team, but Loretto is worse. Forrest by 2 TDs

Forrest won by 11 last year but Loretto returns a lot. May be a dog fight. Better bring a bag of trick plays if we are getting to 14.  If we lose this game good luck getting to 5 wins in 2021.  typed a long reply to your Cornersville recap but said why bother and just deleted it. Good points.

I don’t know why you feel the need to come at Loretto like that but you better watch out. Should be a fun one tomorrow night. Them boys gonna show you they ain’t as bad as you think. (They actually pretty good)

Come at Loretto? It's a message board. You added absolutely nothing but homer talk. They are 0-4 against Forrest since 2017, including 3 bad Forrest teams. But ok.

As bad as Forrest is, I think they win this one. I'll say 27-13. I don't think Loretto is very good at all. 

If Forrest loses, surely Eli might be on the hot seat?

Might be reason enough to hope for a Mustang win.  

If Loretto was awful Forrest couldn't score 27 points. We may not score 27 points in region games this season. With their returning starters coming back they should field a better than average squad. I say that without seeing a single clip of 2021 Loretto. They have a complete media blackout down there. They had no offense but a smothering defense in week 1 and in week 2 their offense was on fire and the defense was awful. We really need their terrible offense and awful defense to show up tonight. 

Hot seat? Staff has 8 games to reach their potential or changes need to happen. We should go 6-2 or 7-1 down the stretch. The bunch of middle school kids we have coming up are too talented to continue these performances. I will predict now this 8th grade group will be better than the 2019 seniors we had.

It’s obvious you haven’t seen a clip of Loretto this year because their defense was solid for 3 quarters and just ran out of gas in the 4th last week. It was 31-19 going into the 4th quarter and one touchdown was a punt return. Offense struggled running a new offense week 1 but clicked last week. But should be a good game.

i have also heard things about the older middle school kids being extremely talented. i am not ready to pronounce them better than 2019 yet, but shades of 2016 for sure- another team that went to state quarters.

    • 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.
