I think just lack of players. Sequatchie needed a game so they are coming to McKenzie.

Something's gotta be going on over there. We scrimmaged Perry County preseason and first game against Bruceton. I know that was a long time ago but going off the teams I saw there's no reason Bruceton should've lost.

Bruceton started the season around 30 players on their roster. They lost 4-5 players in reflect of the coaching change. They also lost 4-5 additional players when they started 0-3 on the season. That leaves them down to around 20 players. 5-6 players have season ending injuries. They had 14-15 players dressed on their sideline last week against Perry County. There was one more player that got hurt and it appeared that was he is done (based off significant of injury) for the season. There are more injured players on the Bruceton sideline than they are in "non-injured" players.

I'm not a fan of teams cancelling a game due to injuries when they have more than enough players to still play the game (regardless of victory or defeat). But, McKenzie would be wasting their time playing Bruceton. Bruceton had 8th graders (who aren't fully developed size wise) playing receiver and 8th/9th graders playing on the offensive line. They had a safety wearing #63. It wasn't going to be fair and Bruceton would be completely embarrassed and potentially hurt even more. This is the right decision.

    • 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.
