This has been stated over and over and over and still they keep WHINING about it.

Thanks for stating the rule again for them. 

Hey newbie no one is whining about anything. Just never thought I’d see the day TC dodged anybody in football but then again these are strange days we live in.

Covid is a real thing. I don’t understand how you don’t get that Covid was an issue that week. TC didn’t want to take a chance of having an outbreak before a region game. That could be the difference from a region title and being on the road in the playoffs. I’m sure Upperman would have made the same decision.

Ask Coalfield if Covid is real and should be taken seriously. They lost their head coach to it and an assistant coach. You don't play with people's lives. That is why the precautions are in place.

I saw that picture on Facebook. That doesn't concern me that much as I'm sure Gville got away with some holds as well. However, I think most will agree that you have to call that when it's that close to the play.

The biggest call I had an issue with was the roughing the passer. I feel that wouldn't have been called 99% of the time. Either way though, you have to play so that a few calls don't cause you to lose.

In talking to some folks, it seems that TC was up for this game more than they had been all year and their coaching staff did some things that hadn't been seen on film. Kudos to them and their players.

SP had 4 TD's called back Friday night on holds 3 of which were 10 or 20 yards behind and away from the play.

When you beat Trousdale you rush the field. You tear down goal posts. You jump in the polls. You celebrate. You should. The day you beat Trousdale is a momentous occasion. It’s a cause for celebration. It is a storied moment that will go down in the history of your program. But, understand, when Trousdale beats you...

It’s just another Friday night. Go Jackets

The schedule is not very good for Gordonsville going into the last three weeks. A bye week, followed by Red Boiling Springs, is a recipe to come out very flat against Clay County in the Region Championship game.

The above is possibility #1. The other possibility, and we will call that #2 is as follows; Gordonsville has been here before, they are 7-1 and have beaten pretty good teams, held Coalfield to less than 70yds of total offense, in Coalfield, and their one loss was by four points to the #2, or whatever in 2A. They take their experiences of the year, take care of business against RBS and use the very extended time to prepare for the Clay County team. 
 

Good teams hate to lose, and I don’t think they will show up flat or nervous and definitely not scared of Clay County.

But, possibility #1 is still, by definition, a possibility.

I could be wrong but I’m not buying the Clay hype, I think Gville wins that game by 2-3TDs

    • 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.
