I know I liked what I saw this early in the year against a team like Christian Brothers. I was very impressed. I think I was even more impressed by the defense. Offense will be fine, all those boys together are going to be dangerous. 

Agreed. Was really pleased with the back 7, especially in coverage.

1s vs 1s, it was actually a pretty dominant performance overall for the Patriots. There’s a couple of positions that have a long way to go. But when they figure it out, this team is going to be dangerous. As far as crickets, I’m also surprised at the lack of posters here from HC’s side this preseason. Don’t think it has anything to do with the scrimmage, though. The Patriots looked really good for being 6ish days in pads.

Some of the long time HC posters are missing this off-season. Maybe they’re waiting for the season to crank up.

Looking forward to it tonight, great opportunity for MBA to scrimmage against one of the best 5A programs in the state.  I'll try to post some updates during the scrimmage.

Thanks man! Really looking forward to see how we compete with a powerhouse like MBA. I think HC fans was pleased with last week's showing against Christian Brothers but in my opinion MBA is a the real test to see where we are at.

Just got back.  Starters played a normal game first half, and MBA “wins” 21-0. HC had all the momentum early but was undone by 2 fumbles.  HC took opening kick, advanced into MBA territory, and fumbled. MBA proceeded to go backwards and throw an int right back to them. HC put together a nice drive with some nice throwing/running but again turned it over in MBA territory. MBA settled in from there and scored on next 3 possessions and held HC to 1 first down until halftime.  HC struggled to get the run game going after first 2 possessions.  Really good looking offensive scheme for HC, just need to work some kinks out. Impressed by TE #88 had some nice tough runs after the catch. 
 

see you next year always a great trip to one of the states great venues at Henry County.

    • 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.
