Peabody vs McKenzie (West Semi Finals)

Great game!  Good luck to McKenzie next week.  Very evenly matched game, with both teams having shots to win.  Really felt this game would be decided by penalties, turnovers, and special teams.  Trenton really hurt themselves on all three while McKenzie played a much cleaner game.  That’s the difference

Congrats to  Mckenzie.  Go win the Gold and represent the West.  I have not said anything much about this game so here we go.  Peabody was short- handed.  You cannot win a game against McKenzie unless you have your best.  Football is about match-ups.  How is it that one of the best wideouts in the state quits one week before quarter finals.  But with that said, we had our chances. We still had our best wideout on the field.  But when you got 3 very good recievers on the same squad, it creates matchup problems.  But with that said, Taylor gave us matchup problems all night. And Cassidy was just amazing.  Let me address the elephant in the room.  The fumble by Ganaway was game changing.  That player who quit, well, that's his spot.  Can't blame Ganaway, because he one of the reasons the Tide has been so successful.  After all that transpired this week, fate was in play.  It took all of this for the football Gods to line up for McKenzie.  Don't get me wrong, the Rebels are very good.  But I will be the first to tell you, Peabody won a game of fate against Fairly.  We were very fortunate to win that game.  The fake punt did not help matters but coaches see things on film that we fans do not see.  It's up to the players to execute.  Sometimes players make coaches look bad.  But Peabody's coaching staff would never blame anyone but themselves even when it is not their fault.  That is the sign of a great staff.  We have had our run.  McKenzie it just may be your turn.  Too many mistakes, but we can credit some of that to the Rebels.  Great game. Great atmosphere.  The Tide will be good next year.  Got to replace some great skill people.  Good luck Rebels. Bring home the gold

Kudos to our offensive line.  They were amazing.  And they did will back next year.  Glad to have Driggers back also.  I think with another year under his belt, he will have a special year in 22.  Roll Tide.

Lmfao. He put the game sealing td on yalls head (literally). Get out over here lol 

I'm not going to say he didn't. But he wasn't running all over our defense like he was Peabody's. Our offense lost the game, not our defense.

yes, the tide are a great team, maybe your right, they have had their run, I don't expect it to be over tho.. But to give Mckenzie their due, in the last two week, they have beaten the defending 1A state champs, and the 3 time defending2A state champs! I don't care where your loyalty lies, that has to say something about this bunch of young men!!!! GO REBELS!!! gold ball awaits!!!!

okay, i'll be the one to say it:   Playing on that quagmire of a field 10 times, these teams would split 5-5. Put them on a dry field or turf and Peabody wins 8 of 10.... Dry conditions last week and Peabody wins by 3 scores...  But, it's part of the game and we wish those Rebels the best of luck.. GO GET YOUR GOLD BALL

Good luck to the runnin Rebs. Taylor & McCreary are a handful. QB Cassidy can also tout it and throw it around also, but he may be a better safety. Haven't seen anything on SP this year. What athletes should we be looking for?

RB - Kelly
QB and WR - Hunter twins
DL - Davis

To name a few...

    • 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.
