When you look at this I can see why WB went the course they did this year. The Clinton and WB game should be a good ballgame and a lot more interesting to see then a blowout against Maryville.

What type of offense and defense does WB like to run? Who are their playmakers? I think I read somewhere that WB has a really good WR? 

WB has several really good receivers and a pretty good qb who is also able to keep it and get some yardage on the ground. We're usually more of a passing team and we tend to be sloppy (that has been the case for over a decade). We like to turn the ball over and kill ourselves with penalties. I thought we did a better job of not doing those things in 2019, but we took a step back last year. I'm hoping a big part of that was the reduced number of practices due to COVID-19.  I think most teams had more issues last year for the same reason.

The Govs improved the coaching staff in the offseason. I can't think of the names off the top of my head, but we got a new defensive coordinator from South Doyle that a lot of people think highly of. I have heard the defense was already looking better in the scrimmages and in the jamboree. If the defense is halfway decent this year (we've been atrocious on defense more often than not this decade) we have a chance to be pretty good.

The running back spot is the big question mark for me. We've struggled to run the ball consistently and it sounds like we had an issue holding on to the football in the Bearden scrimmage. I know we have a really athletic incoming freshman who is going to play some running back. I heard he looked really good in the JV scrimmage and scored several touchdowns. It sounds like he should be playing on varsity in my opinion. I'm guessing we'll see him playing on Friday nights at some point this season, but I'm not sure if they'll turn him loose this week.

Thanks!  Sounds like Clinton is going to have their hands full. 

Clinton has been known as a passing team when Tyler Thackerson was QB and known as a rushing team under McKamey with his wing-t.

But this year's Clinton team is trying to be balanced on offense. The defense has been our weakness over the years as well, except when trying to run the wing-t.....we had trouble scoring those years and had a bad defense. 

I don't know what our final record will be, but from what I've seen so far, we will at least be competitive and hopefully surprise some people. 

Just 2 days away!! Can't wait!!

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
