AC is coming around and playing well.  Getting better.  I think they got a shot.  

I believe so. AC Moog was again a monster. He played with passion. The Defense was what I think the Mavs needed if they play a West TN team. QB Containment was like nothing I have ever seen in a Mav defense. And Zae AC QB was incredible!

Clinton made some huge stops when they had to, but couldn't end up stopping the run when they needed. Their offense killed themselves with penalties and the QB made some terrible decisions trying to not get sacked. As a 4 year starter he should know better. Being a coaches son also that is the most direct reflection of their leader. Clinton did not run the ball enough outside where they outmatched AC's speed. 8 did not touch the ball enough for Clinton either. Credit AC for being stubborn and running the ball when their past success in recent history has been throwing since Gillum got there. 

Clinton is still very much alive for the playoffs and a home playoff game as long as they handle Lenoir city and Karns. Lenoir could give them trouble but Karns is a win. The question with them is, have the Non Clinton recruits gotten fed up with the losing. I'm sure there were some promises and hope of greener pastures when coming down Clinton hwy. They are for sure battle tested. So if they can finish strong they will get a terrible team from the region they draw in the playoffs and win a game or two and HC will leave to "watch his son".

4A is very winnable for AC they should make a great run again and end up playing either Greeneville or Elizabethton. Which both of those programs seem to be down for their standards. Anything is possible for them

Jeff Co Qb transfer looked good for AC.

Jeff Co/OR WR transfer looked good as well. Without both of them AC is very one dimensional so kudos to them for being able to recruit them over.

Their home playoff game (if they finish 2nd) would most likely be against Rhea County or McMinn County.  If they are third they will travel to one of those teams.  I think they could beat Rhea, but McMinn will rush for 350 on that Clinton defense.  They better hope it's Rhea Co.

So by that you think Walker beats McMinn? I will be interested to see who comes out from that game. Both played Bradley and McMinn scored and Walker did not.

Now, that I think about it, you're right. McMinn may get first and Clinton would get Rhea or Walker Valley.  I saw McMinn just hammer Oak Ridge but I have not seen WV yet.

    • 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.
