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 hope it's obvious I haven't seen a clip of Loretto this year because I stated that in my post. As long as we play 4 quarter games I will evaluate the team's defense based on the points given up over the course of 4 quarters. Giving up 38 or 45 points in a high school game against Lawrence County is anything but solid.

Loretto is .500 against two awful teams and has given up 51 points in those 2 games. 

If Forrest loses to thsi team on their home field tonight there should be a fleet of uber drivers with empty suitcases waiting to escort this staff out of town. Period. 

Game is still a toss up. We've scored 20 against a solid 1A squad and a depleted JV version of Eagleville. Only hope is we were holding a secret plays for this 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. 

Head and shoulders above 2016 group. The 7th grade class may have even better skill guys. Middle school may not lose a game again until 2023.  It will be really good to be a Rocket in 2 seasons.

Week 3 Preview and Rankings 

#1 - Cascade (2-0) visits #4 Mt. Pleasant (1-1) . Cascade defeated Cannon County 25-0. Mt. Pleasant defeated Scotts Hill 28-7. 

#2 - Loretto (1-1) visits  #3 Forrest (1-1) . Loretto lost a shootout 45-38 to Lawrence County in a big rivalry game. Forrest lost a defensive struggle to cross county rival Cornersville 16-6. Forrest won last seasons game 18-7 at Loretto. 

#6 - Richland (0-1) visits #5 Summertown (0-2) . Both teams were off last week with a bye week and a Covid forfeit.  

The fun thing about this region is the games should be competitive every single week. Lots of parity. No clear favorite in any of these matchups.

I wanna see your opinion of them after they hold them to 7 or below

My point exactly all you do is wish the worst on your team. All the coach as done is win.

That group had Wild, Jones, Cunningham, Kritz, Clanton, Dyer, Nevison, Russell (he got hurt in jamboree i believe), and Rios, the best kicker Forrest has had in the last 15-20 seasons.

They went 22-4 as juniors and seniors with losses to then 4A Page (by 2 points), Marion 2x (state runner up both years and should have been champs- the cheating Trezevant was the only team to beat them) and a fluky wild game at Jackson County, which is second to only Huntland in middle earth attributes. Went to quarters as seniors. 

They beat in that span: 4A Page (2016), Watertown 2x, Tyner, Meigs, and Bledsoe, and also skunked an admittedly brand new Nolensville team in the jamboree. 

That's a bold claim. "Heads and shoulders"

    • 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.
