Springfield wins this one!!! You know why they say it’s hard to win at Henry County? Every dang call was against Springfield last time at Henry County. Take the home town cooking away this time and Springfield wins by 10. 27-17 Springfield 

Definitely not bruised up brother. I can’t see this team being held to 17. Not the way they are rolling. And Springfield hasn’t proven to be built to put up a lot of points. If D can’t hold them in this game. It’s time to count pads for the jackets. And Home town cooking you got me lol-ing. :roflolk:

We held them to 3 last time, so I feel like I’m being generous with 17.

FWIW, this will be the 13th meeting between these two teams in this series. Springfield has won two, both in Paris. The Jackets have never beaten Henry County in Springfield. 
I feel confident that Springfield will be the best team the Patriots have faced since they revamped the coaching staff. I do not think the Jackets will give up 56 points. I see this being a 28-24 type game. 
Springfield is used to being overlooked and looked down upon in these type games. We don’t have the size of our opponents, our QB is too slow, we don’t defend the pass well, etc. It’s all been said in past years and I’m sure it will be said this week too. I admire the confidence of the Patriot faithful, but Springfield fans are confident too. Ask Haywood County how they felt before games the two times they came to Springfield in the semis. One thing is for sure, we will show up Friday night ready to play as I am sure Henry County will too.

That would be me! I put a post on the other thread last night apologizing for being super hard on them. It was just being really frustrated at that time how we was playing. They've made the changes that I think we all wanted at HC and now they're playing lights out!! They changed play callers and that has made a world of difference, if we didn't make that change I'm not sure if we would be playing this coming week. Thankfully they did though and I couldn't be happier with the way their playing!! Let's keep it up! It would be awesome to play Thanksgiving week!!

Glad to see the faith back!

Make no mistake, Henry Co is the underdog in this one. Springfield is the region champ and beat HC already this season. I will say this is a different HC team but I expect Springfield has changed as well or they wouldn’t still be playing. I’m not completely sure what to expect but I do know a couple of HC’s best players were out the first game. Hopefully they’re enough to make a difference.

One of the worse officiating crews I’ve seen. Hope they stay away from Springfield. They were bad enough last night.

    • 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.
