Well, first hats off to the Pirates for fighting hard in this game. What looked like a huge blowout was salvaged by guts.

 

For Gordonsville, congrats on getting the monkey off yalls backs. I hope #5 is okay. He was a tough player. You guys played tenaciously and physical.

For SP, defense I tip my hat too. Somehow, they keep finding a way to get stops.

 

Offensively, it was rough. Drops, miscommunication, players not knowing where to line up, players not knowing what play was called, etc.. If you look chaotic and play chaotic odds are not in your favor.

 

Most people that have watched this team knew the deficiencies started up front. When you can’t get a push up front to get 2 yards, it’s hard to win a ball game. 
 

I think Gordonsville represents the east. Sorry Clay. But, silver will be going east. I just think Fayetteville is a monster.

Congrats Tigers and good effort Pirates

Frist congrats to Gordonsville on a hard fought win! 

Second I'm dang proud of our defense tonight and loved the in game adjustments early by our D coordinator. The Pirates youth showed way to much on offense tonight but still had opportunities to win the ballgame. Another very disappointing point was our crowd. Gordonsville pretty much had home field advantage in the noise category. As someone said before this was not your typical Sp team and we definitely won't be down for long.  Goodluck to Gordonsville the rest of the way and hope to see you guys again next season.

Hats off to Gordy. We'll be waiting for you guys next week in Celina for the finale between both schools' incredible group of seniors.

Should be a great one.

Congratulations  to the Tigers on a hard fought win. They had a few chances all night to put it away and South Pitt kept getting stops. Hats off to them for battling. 

Hope #5 is okay , he played his heart out, but it didn't look good. Will definitely be a challenge  if he can't go next week.

Pirates played admirably. It should be obvious to most that they were outmanned, but they never quit.

I felt both teams made some good personnel adjustments going into this game that helped each team. 

The Pirates sold out to stop the run after the first couple possessions, and I feel like the pass plays we hit at the end of the game were there most of the night, but we chose to grind it out.

I don't think the game was as close as the score indicates, however, the effort from the Pirates helped that. 

Both teams missed chances. SP had a few drops, and Gville dropped a pick 6 and another interception. 

As far as the refs, they let the boys play, maybe a little too much. I think there were only two holding penalties called all night, a defensive holding against SP that was declined and an offensive holding on Gville that negated a 50 yard run. There were probably only about 5 flags the whole game, and there were some that should've been called and we're obvious, but weren't. For example SP should've been called for a delay of game on one of their pints as the clock was on 0, but it wasn't.

As far as our boys, they played hard and physical, and that's what I wanted to see, and we had several underclassmen making plays, so we may have some good matchups down the road. The opening kickoff was returned by a freshman, and another freshman started on the line, several sophomores and juniors played.

It was a long post, but the Pirates can be proud of their effort, and the Tigers can be proud they advanced to avenge an earlier loss.

    • 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.
