It will be over by halftime. The View has it figured out now. Next week decides Region Champ. Covington way down this year. Plus historically after the first 6 weeks grades comes out Covington is usually in trouble any way!

I love the confidence of you Westview fans, but it's time to pipe down a little bit. Starting Friday in Ripley, your gauntlet begins. Ripley, Dyersburg, & Covington will prove how good of a group yall got over there in Weakley County. But the athletes are a little different on this end of Hwy 51 compared to what you've played so far. Ty Simpson and Quincy Hamilton are no longer there! #1 is a great player that has a bright future ahead of him, but let's see how he matches up with the other top athletes in this region, because he's proven nothing at this point. 

As far as this game goes, if the Westview players and coaching staff are anything like their fans, they will be headed back up Hwy 51 with their tails tucked between their legs. The last two meetings were fairly close. In 2021 it was a close score at halftime and then Ty Simpson took over. In 2022, Westview won by 2 TD's and Quincy Hamilton took over and pulled that one out. Ripley's youth that took their lumps over the past two years are juniors and seniors now and have looked very dangerous at times this year. Overall, Ripley has more athletes and more experience than Westview. You don't know their names yet, but everyone doesn't get good media coverage across the state. Third times a charm, Ripley wins this game, no need to predict a score! Good luck next week in Dyersburg, I hope its everything you hoped for! :thumb:

It was a running clock in second quarter, all starters were out at half. Never tried to score second half. They won't be able to stop Donteze. He is a sophomore and already getting looks from SEC schools

I can definitely see this being one of the most athletic secondaries and defenses Westview has seen and will see for the year. It will be an interesting matchup for #1 from Westview. Is the the big # 41 RB back for Ripley? He was a load the last couple years.

He’s still there and is a load to bring down. Mainly played on D the best I remember though

Not sure who will win this game but i can't see a running clock. Ripley will have better athletes and team speed than Obion, and Obion beat Westview. 

Don't really care who wins this game but if i had to pick, I'll take Ripley but 2 TD's. 

We lost to Obion because we had 5 turnovers inside the 20. They only had 115 yards of offense. Same thing in Dresden game 2 turnovers inside the 15. If not for those turnovers we would be 5-0

5 turnovers in 1 game? 2 in another? Every game , every team has "ifs". I will say again, i do not know who will win this game but Ripley has better athletes and team speed than OC and Dresden. and if Westview still has turnover issues, then i definitely will take Ripley over Westview. Either way, i wish the best to both teams.

Well, I suggest that you check your history vs. Covington. Covington is 8-3 all time vs. Westview. In the last 4 meetings, here are the scores:

2020 Covington 48 Westview 0

2019 Covington 53 Westview 7

2018 Covington 45 Westview 6

2017 Covington 45 Westview 0

And, the last two games, y’all had Ty Simpson at QB. That 2020 game was played at your home stadium. 
 

Y’all have to come to Covington this year. We will see if Covington is way down when y’all get there. But, I advise you not to look past the teams on your schedule before that.

Someone mentioned Ripley having a running big running back that is physical? The answer to that is yes, they do. However, I don't know what number that player is, so I cannot say he is #41.

When it comes to the game, I doubt this game is a running clock. However, let's make one thing clear, saying that a team put a running clock on Liberty is nothing to be happy about. It's pretty standard for the Exit 85 boys, since the start of the 2020 season, every team (other than 3) has defeated Liberty by 30 or more. 

When it comes to this game, I do like Ripley's athletes in this game. I don't know if I'll take them to win because they need to do a better job of finishing (Bolivar game) and putting points in the end zone. I do like Ripley if they score 30-35 in this game. Sorry Westview fans, but there's one thing I've learned recently, and that is a lot of fans in the northern part of West Tennessee that support their teams, will overhype their teams like crazy.

You can see the athleticism right away, but against us he was the second best receiver in their lineup. He stood out returning kicks, but not as a wideout...dropped multiple passes that he got his hands on, and didn't really look like a DI type recruit. In his defense, everyone has their days good and bad.

    • 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.
