Should be a good game. the fact the game is at HC plays a big role i think. I still don’t know how good P-Town really is. They upset SC, who beat MJ, but then got slaughtered by Springfield. Both teams whooped NW, and won a close game against NE. Portlands defense played much better against NE, while HC’s played better against Springfield. Basically, this game is probably a toss up, it’s anyones guess as to who wins.

I wouldn't call the Springfield game a slaughter, the score is deceiving. Portland lead 14-13 going into the 4th. Springfield just scored 21 points in the 4th to take the win, 6 coming off of a pick 6 and another 6 coming off a botched punt attempt to give Springfield short field. Now with that said, if Henry County can score like they did against NE and there defense wakes up they should win. Don’t sleep on Portland though give them an opportunity and they will jump on you, their wing backs/RB’s run north and south and run hard. Gotta play discipline assignment football on defense.

Don’t sleep on Portland. Their backs are swift. It was a closer game with us than the score showed.  We were down 14 to 13 at the start of the 4th before scoring 3 TDs in the final frame

It appears that "the unhappiest man in Paris " got our last thread  taken down. Thank you Coach T. The new posters only said what many are thinking and was  long overdue. Now, onto Portland and whatever future holds for our Patriots.

 

 

GO BIG RED

Game could go either depending on who plays better, makes less mistakes, etc. Here is a little useless info...in 4 common region games Portland average score is 30-27. Henry Co average score is 36-16. Portland run defense appears to be a weakness. HC has a better balanced offense and Portland is much better running than passing. 
 

I predict 31-20 Patriots at home

If you had something to say you should have said it. I just tell it like it is and I guess some people get offended by that. Oh well. If people don't think we have been the laughing stock in the state something is wrong. We beat a down NE team by 4 points. That's crazy to me. Good luck against Portland, we'll need it!!

I knew this one this be close.  Clarksville NE has some players.  The poster that predicted the 56-0 HC win was a little off course.  Portland will be a tough match up as well

HC i understand the frustrations, i do. Yeah y’all under achieved but being negative isn’t the way to go. Those players yall have they might know it but they see this stuff. And it’s degrading to them mentality if the communities support falls. Y’all are having a down year period, and to be in the position y’all are in, is actually good. Yes your 4-5…. Your loses have come against teams that have either won state the last 4 years, or made it there. Y’all are 3-1 in the region! You win your at home! Keep playing!

    • 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.
