im not sure forrest will get more than 1-2 first downs. maybe cross midfield 1x per half. maybe just once for the game.

i dont- and this is a huge part of my problem with the current staff- i dont think our coaches have prepared the kids mentally for a game like this. this isnt even waverly. these kids lost at Waverly as freshman, at home to riverside as sophomores, and at Waverly again as juniors to get bounced from postseason

this is an entirely different animal. the lower classmen will be shell shocked and the juniors and seniors, while nice kids, arent exactly known for their mean streaks in big games.

this could get really ugly for Forrest.  a 42-0 beatdown is not out of the question. these kids scored 6 against friggin cornersville.

ill say this to the 11th and 12th graders. all due respect- you're 4-1 and thats a very good thing. 

BUT

you know who you are. the upperclass skill guys. even special teams, linemen, etc. if you want to show what you're made of, this is the game to do it. forget the region. this is the biggest atmosphere you will likely play in as a Rocket. this is the Alabama of 2A.

teams like peabody, trousdale, they are amazing too but they fluctuate between 1A and 2A,

these warriors have been 2A bad boys since you were at the elementary school.

if you cannot show up and play as hard as possible here, then im not sure why u play period.

The little film I have seen it looks like forrest is physical and has a couple of weapons.  This should be a really good game.

If this game was at Forrest I would pick an upset. Forrest  players have to be gaining some confidence and momentum of late. I’m not sure force can pull it off at Marion County but I believe it will be a competitive game. If by chance forest does pull it off this is going to go a long way for A possible long run in the playoffs.

I’m not going to be that guy about the intro post.

 
I’m pulling for the Rockets but my gut is telling me Marion will be too much. From what I’m hearing Marion will be representing the East against Westview in the state championship this year.

Got a long long way to go before that happens, trust me.

    • 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.
