I’ve seen various predictions that favor Haywood anywhere between 28 to 35 points.  Tomcats, it is you, not the prognosticators, who play the game on the field. 

Those predictions will only motivate Lake County.  The Falcons will give it all they’ve got from beginning to end  Don’t get complacent Cats.  Stay focused and disciplined!

Very successful football program. Haywood County is the best program in West Tennessee. I hope they get that gold ball. That is all they like.

Thanks!  I can't help but be reminded of a thread in the 1A-2A forum back in the summer.  Although it's not my opinion, the general consensus was Haywood does not rank within the top five programs in West Tennessee because Haywood does not have that gold ball. 

Lake County has a great program and y'all have three state championship trophies to prove it. Good luck tonight.  I'm praying for a clean injury-free game and safe travels for all.

Last region loss was 2018 against Dyersburg. From 2015 to current we’ve lost 1 region game in 7 years 

Haywood played  that 2018 game minus several key players due to injury, but a healthy Tomcat team avenged that loss in the state quarterfinals by a score of 48-14.

Glad I wasn’t in that thread, I’m sure I would have got a little aggravated. JCS has a gold ball so I guess they have a better program. Milan has several gold balls, and even though they tried running with the big boys in 4a having almost no success while just trying to avoid Alcoa, has a better program. Lake county has a gold ball, guess we better not even show up tonight.

That thread definitely aggravated me.  In terms of recent success and consistency,  I don't think anybody (gold ball or not) can argue against Haywood being one of the most successful programs in rural West Tennessee over the past 6 or 7 years.

    • 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.
