Will all the distractions of homecoming festivities get the Lions out of focus? Will those Red Devils be “a devil” to Dresden like they did a few years back, when they beat us 14-12, and they dug in with a great goal-line stand keeping us out of the endzone AND out of the playoffs (first time in awhile we not make it).. will it happen again? With a lopsided win (& very unexpected to many) last week over Gleason, will the Lions slack off & think this will be an easy win too, no problem? (Talk about a recipe for disaster!). It can’t be said enough, nobody ever wins on paper stats, past records, or predictions of gurus! The game is played on that field of battle where ANYTHING can happen! As long as everyone is healthy with no injuries is the main thing, always the top priority on wish list, & next to that is, uhhmmm, let me think here…,hmmm, well, .. I’ve concluded next to no injuries is a big fat goose-egg on that nice, new scoreboard for the S. Fulton guests side on the right, and a HUGE large double digit amount for Dresden’s score on left side, something past the 50’s maybe? .. hehe, not being mean, just having fun with fandom smack-talk. No joke though, if Lions don’t give their top effort & if we bring a losers mindset (oh, this is easy. We’ll have no problem), we WILL get beat. They did it before to us & no doubt can do it again!!! Methinks we’ll have right attitude though with a great effort and we’ll see improvements in all areas of our play. Still lots of areas we need to work on.. which IS happening week to week. Coach Hodge is showing the football world around here that Dresden was super smart in bringing him back! Now if we can just keep him! .. GOOOO LIONS! #1 ALL THE WAY!

    • 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.
