Coaches definitely getting them prepared. Look at this!

 

The Patriots’ first preseason scrimmage will come July 30 for freshmen, junior varsity and varsity teams at Christian Brothers High School in Memphis. On Aug. 6, Mongomery Bell Academy will come to Patriot Stadium for the same setup. The Patriots will again host a jamboree on Aug. 13 and will be working with Haywood County for two quarters. Counce said working with strong programs in a controlled environment in the preseason will help the Patriots get prepared to open the season against Class 6A opponents Summit and Beech.

Those are some great programs to cut your teeth against. If the purpose of scrimmages are to find out your mistakes I'm sure CB MBA and Haywood will give you that opportunity and then some. Good luck y'all!

You may be on to something here. I don't see how it can be done in time for the start of this year at the rate they are going.

I promise it's like that for everyone.  I drive past Milan's stadium everyday. When they were under construction (especially the turf) I didn't think there was any way they were getting it done in time for Peabody but they did no problem. I should've known better. When I used to work in construction we'd do the same. Kinda loaf it a while then get it all together for the big push and knock it out.

I agree with both of you. I just think HC fans are anxious because of how long it took to get approved, then delayed, then approved again, and now construction delays, etc. 

All told, this has been a 2 year process that has dragged on for half a decade.

It will be interesting to see what the final price tag will be for the field with the extra work that had to be done. I don't really keep up with the news that much but i haven't heard anything from the school board or the county commision if extra funds are going to be needed for the project.

I agree. Common sense tells you more work = more money.

Yeah I think everyone is ready to see it done. Its been a long process. I knew they had ran into problems about a month or month and a half ago with the field being wetter than they originally thought it would be. It is no doubt going to take every bit of time to get it finished before football season.

    • 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.
    • 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.
