Surprised there's not much chat about this game. Big region contest. Will the TulCats run away with it, or will the Runnin' Rebs finally put it all together to get their first win of the season?

I wouldn't count the Rebels out in this one. They were down 27-7 to East Hamilton last week, and came back and tied only to fall 41-34 late. Tullahoma came back from a 20-7 deficit in the fourth quarter to win 28-20. I will say Tullahoma by 7, but it could go either way.

This is the first meeting between these teams in two years. In the previous eight matchups each team has won four times. These are always fun games and there should be 5,000+ in Wilkins Stadium Friday night. If you are inside the stadium, you can listen to the live broadcast, without delay, on 87.9 FM.

I'll be out of state or I'd be one of the ones at Wilkins Fri night so LightTube it is. I think it'll be close so if you are giving 9.5, I'll take the Rebels and the points. Hope both teams come in relatively healthy and stay that way. May the battle for the region crown begin!

It is sorta scary how these two teams mirror each other. Should be a heck of a ball game.

The last time these teams played was 2020, with the Cats winning 41-7. John Olive was 20-8 against the Rebels. The previous eight games have been split 4-4. 

Tullahoma's defense will thwart the Rebel attack. The Wildcats have owned the fourth quarter in their last two games, with the defense forcing turnovers in both. Offensively, the Cats found their stride late against Rockvale, but when they found it they were unstoppable.

Special teams leans heavily on the Tullahoma side.

Cats -9.5

You're underestimating Franklin County. I think this will be a close game, and could go either way.

    • 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.
