Have you seen Dresden play? And why do you think peabody is that far ahead. One common opponent in Westview that was basically the same score. 

I saw Dresden play in a preseason scrimmage. Did they look good? Yes. Did they look great like a state championship caliber team, I'm hesitant to say yes.

Peabody has more experience and a better coaching staff. Coaching staff will help that team in November (not saying Dresden's staff is bad). In addition, did Driggers play in the Westview game?

Yes he did and coaching staff is a flip. Hodge is a proven rebuilder and winner.

It will be a close game for sure and I'm definitely not going to count Dresden out. It was a 23-14 game last year. Could be even closer this year

 Mckenzie had like 3 or 4 scores called back in this one last year and had like 100 more penalty yards than Dresden. Maybe they can clean that up this year. I believe McKenzie also took a knee on the 1yd line with over a minute left.

And on the turnaround if Dresden doesn't fumble twice they might win. Dresden is among the most improved teams in the area this year and they weren't bad at all last year. If McKenzie isn't on their game they may leave that game a 2 seed.

Yes and from what I’m told he still isn’t 100%. We are missing other key players now.

Yes driggers played. It was his first game of the season if I recall correctly. Id still give the advantage to Dresden.

Huntingdon is always stronger as the year goes on. Or at least the time I've been following HS football.

Until the playoffs :roflolk: 

In all seriousness though, when it comes to our offense we only have a plan A. We typically start out a little slow in the season and spend all year perfecting plan A and will look very dangerous going into the playoffs. 

Then we will inevitably run into a team with enough athletes and a specific gamelan to shut down plan A, and we have lacked the ability to make adjustments and deviate from plan A.

That's why you'll see so many posters call out the coaching for not having a plan B. But if you don't practice it all year, you can't really pull it out at halftime of a playoff game..

Well, naturally as a Covington fan, I think the Chargers are one of the top 5 or 6 teams in West Tennessee, our opening loss to Munford not withstanding.  And, I think that Munford has proven to be a very solid and much improved team this season. 
 

I think that we scrimmaged both Union City and Huntingdon in the preseason quite successfully. We haven’t had the strongest schedule since Munford, but I like our chances to have an impact again this year in the playoffs.

Regardless, this thread is just opinion anyway, and we are blessed to actually have a playoff system in high school football to rank teams based on actual performance.

    • 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.
