You can have our spot, when and if we get everyone healthy and back, we might be pretty good, we've done nothing to deserve such a high ranking so far.

Honestly we haven't either. Don't want to jinx us but we should be getting a few starters back this week. We played a bunch of young kids last week. Hopefully we can get into a rhythm starting Friday.

If you guys can tighten up your defense from last year. I would pick y’all as my team from the east.

That's the million dollar question. Should be better but that remains to be seen. Return 7 or 8 starters on defense so the experience is there. A couple young athletes have been thrown in there too. Offensively I have no worries.

I felt and pretty sure verbalized after last season that with y’all’s size and youth MC would be hard to handle this year if you could find some defense. 
 

There are not many teams across 2A that could match up with y’all size/ athlete wise across  the line. 
 

If you did get the D figured out,  I believe the only one standing in your way just happens to be in your region.

 

MC was a good football team last year and I expect them to be a Great one this year!

If we can stay healthy we should be a handful. Gotta get em one at a time. We could win the region or wind up 4th. You never know.

My opinion is that we are at least as good as 8 teams on this list.  Long season hopefully to go but I am fine being unranked at this point.  The boys have worked hard in the weight room and it was hard to tell defensively or offensively how we looked with the game this past friday.  We tried to hold the score down.  Young kids played the majority of the game.  This week and the next couple will see if we are worthy or not.

2A will be fun this entire season IMO, I still believe just from program structure and coaching Meigs is a solid 1 but with the new squads and some close games as well as some smack downs to top Tier programs you 2 A folks are gonna have a fun year ! I am for once not pulling for a West Squad simply because I would like to see Coach Fitzgerald get him and his boys a Gold ball !!!!

That win for the  Memphis team really put them on the map

That Memphis team is Memphis Academy of Health Science. This team is for real! I watched them scrimmage Germantown High (6A) and they held their own. This team has 5A talent. They have three DI players on this squad, including the Coach's son Cameron Miller (UT commit) , They will be a force this year in 2A.

    • 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.
