I've seen Clay on film. Their schedule so far is charmin soft. They do have a solid combo of QB-Wr's but that defense isn't very good. Scott wins. Getting those transfers eligible this week will make a huge difference. 

2 good players will def help!

Much needed speed. I ran into one of the assistant coaches at Flonnies last night, and I asked him about the new additions. He just looked at me and smiled. Tells me all I need to know. Looking forward to Friday! 

Speed always helps but just for conversation sake, clay ain’t slow. At least that’s what I’m told. Should be a good one.

These teams have only met on two prior occasions, those coming in ‘97 and ‘98.  Scott won both and the Highlanders were as physical a team as there was around back then.  Fast forward to modern day and this Clay team is as good as they’ve fielded in 30 years in terms of completeness.  I just don’t see how the Dawgs don’t get it done in this one.  Someone commented on here that Clay’s defense was suspect, I’d like to know the reasoning behind that thought.  Two of the biggest thumpers are out this week but with this bunch it’s the small guys that you better watch out for.  44 and 3 can hit with the best of em.

Only comment in this thread about defense was spike and he commented on the Scott secondary being susceptible to getting beat deep. I haven’t saw any comments about the clay defense at least in this game topic.

Yes sir. We beat a good Celina team 44-21 in '97. We thought it would be a tough, physical game in Celina the next year, but it was the opposite. Ole Jeffers ran for 3 touchdowns as we cruised to a 42-0 win. That's part of the reason that I'm confident heading into tomorrow night. Congrats on your thumpers defensively, but you can't hit what you can't catch.

Yeah, mass exodus of seniors from ‘97 to ‘98 in Celina.  It kinda kick started a run of two decades of subpar football that often had the Dawgs playing in the toughest region in A.  Concerning speed this year, I’m not worried about it.  You’ll see why come Friday.

You're right. I will see tomorrow night. Looking forward to watching us beat another subpar Celina team.

    • 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.
