Finally getting around to typing out my thoughts from last night. South Pitt, you guys are a first class outfit. I love the amount of community support for your team. Every light pole in downtown having a Pirates banner on it was really cool. Also really cool that y'all basically shut town down on game night! I had several pleasant interactions with SP fans. All very respectful and willing to talk football for as long as you'd talk lol.
 
I saw on our high school Facebook page several SP fans checking in and offering support for our fallen player. That means a lot. Nothing but respect for y'all and your program. Good luck the rest of the season, go get you boys another title.
 

Your boy #28? If so this basin boy tips my hat to him. He stepped up and played hard much respect.

Good game to both teams. It could have went either way. My fingers are crossed this stays a series for many more years to come.

Most importantly I pray the young man that suffered the leg injury is doing well.  Let him know he has a lot of folks on this side of the border praying for him.

Now on to the game.  I felt as though Murphy had a slightly better team.  The game was very evenly matched. Murphy mixed the pass and the run a lot better than I had anticipated.  Our inability to pressure their QB most of the game left our secondary vulnerable. Their offense line was the difference in this game.

We actually had a very good opportunity to pull this one out. With 3rd & inches at their 35 yd line with under 6 to go it seemed we had finally wrestled away the momentum. But an untimely false start & failed attempts on 3rd & 6 then 4th & longer just dissipated that opportunity into the night sky.

Last year we were very opportunistic in these situations as we had someone that always would step up & make a play. This year those opportunities will resurface again but we will have to be more vigilant in not committing those penalties as it will be more difficult for this team to overcome. 

Another thing,  playing with emotions is fine. But you gotta learn the difference between being led by your emotions and being controlled by them.  Lead by example.  Play smart. Play for each other. Let's get back to work and get better.  This contest can only make us better if we learn from it.

Go Pirates!!

I know some of you guys were asking so thought I'd give an update.

Our injured player had to have surgery Saturday but got to come home that evening.  He's got a rod in his leg now but should make a full recovery.  Unfortunately his football career is over. He was at practice today and seemed to be in good spirits considering.  

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.  They are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the update. I hate that his football days are done but thankfully everything will be ok.

Well in other news Basins little league went 3-1 against Murphy’s little leagues today. Come play us in a couple years at the high school level. 

Murphy's youth league teams rarely are anything special, a lot of Murphy's best athletes don't even start playing until JV level. Youth league literally means nothing

    • 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.
