Should be a solid game with the winner favored to win state. West has momentum on their side, Powell has the pucker factor on their side. If Collins was playing I'd say Powell by two scores, as this game is the type where those not named Green or Redmond shine. With that said, the difference is Foust getting touches and scores. I wouldn't be surprised to see West win, as Powell likes to fumble these games away but this is the year if Powell is going is going to win it all. Powell 38 West 31

Hearing that Collins could very well be back.  

How much back is another question.

Next man up for West...they said the same thing when Blair went down and when all those kids transferred...they really are OneWest!

WH4L, there were only two transfers.  Lost 2 others to injury and one RB quit.  So yeah, that's 5 starters out all in August.  They have certainly persevered.  The team escaped with no injuries, sore but in good shape for going on week 14.  Go Rebs, beat Plow!

Wow! You all must have watched a different Powell team than I did last Friday night...  Outside of Nolen, I didn't see anyone that stuck out as "exceptional" talent on their defense.  Don't get me wrong, they were good, but I just see West coming out of the blocks a lot stronger than Rhea did, and at least throwing the ball some, lol.  And from looking at what I have seen on West's defense, I do believe that they can cover anything that Powell's offense can throw at them.  I see West winning this one by 21.  35-14.  JMO

Apparently you missed #4 chasing down Rhea Countys Qb and RB in the backfield from the backside on multiple occasions. Or all of the plays #32 made fro his LB spot.  

And that's just for starters. 

So,etimes I wonder what game people are actually watching.

I'm not sure that anyone is calling Powell's defense exceptional (outside of Nolen), but maybe I missed something.

When you take Nolen off the field, they are undersized up front, and they are susceptible to being pushed around by teams who are capable of running the ball down an opponent's throat. Just look at what you guys did in the 4th quarter last week.

Not bitter are you.....lol  Powell let WAY OFF THE GAS at half on Rhea, actually don't even know if Powell even threw the ball in the second half.  Powell could of beet Rhea by as many as they wanted to.  When all the ones were in the game (1st half) Powell dominated Rhea, and in fact I don't believe Rhea even crossed the 50 in the first half.  You will see a completely different game plan from Powell than you did vs Rhea.  Either way I think it will be a great game.  I think it will be a 3 point game either way.

Exactly.  #32 is up for player of the week.  I think he had like 19 tackles or so.  He must of only watched the second half, when Powell called the dogs off.  lol

    • 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.
