Bradley 9-0 vs bearden 7-2 for the regional championship

[BeardenBullies]

da bullies by 10. Boo Bears are undisciplined and out matched on the line. they are not coached very well but are super talented with athletes, but guess what, SO ARE WE. Kingston pike will be rocking and our O and D line will dominate them for 4 quarters. REGION CHAMPS IN YEAR 2. we are smart enuf to not punt to 6. AB has a plan for him.

What would Kingston Pike have to do with this game being at Bradley?

Speaking of this game, both teams have two of the most dangerous kick/punt returners in the state in Boo and Tory. Most teams have been too stupid and have punted or kicked to Tory, which almost always leads to us being deep in our territory, if not a touchdown. Let’s see if BC is smarter than them, and hopefully we can keep it away from Boo, the #18 kicker in the nation for Bearden, so I'm not really worried about him, he gets a touchback every kickoff, but hopefully the punter can keep it out of Boo's reach.

This reminds of the Texas/USC game several years ago where everyone thought USC would dominate, but forgot Texas had Vince Young.  Everyone thinks Bearden will win because they think they are big and physical upfront and have good running backs, but Bradley has...BOO CARTER.

Big & Physical > Boo Carter. Those skill guys don't get very far without solid play in the trenches

I like Bradley in this one. They have the ability to play man cover 0 on D with all their athletes. This allows them to load the box and make up for the lack of talent/ability on the defensive front. I do think this will be a close game just because Bearden will play ball control as much as they can. Bearden's inability to throw the ball will end up making them not be able to convert and move the chains. Bradley has too many weapons.

Classic battle of power vs finesse. Either team can win or lose this game.

Bearden has to control the line of scrimmage and keep the Bradley weapons in check and not let them get loose. If Bearden keeps the ball and scores on long drives and don't allow big plays lookout Bears. In my mind it's pressure by the Bearden defensive front that will tell the tale.

Bradley wins in a wide-open scoring contest. The big play ability of the Bears, (and it's not just Carter despite his rep) can give a lot of heartburn to defensive coordinators. Goree and Rogers are just as dangerous as Carter, and you add Terry and Jackson with Martin able to pull it down and run, it becomes pick your poison. If Martin has time and they open some running lanes, Bearden is in trouble.

This should be the game of the year to this point in the season. Both teams have had exceptional years so far, and both are looking to make a run into late November!
Winner will have home field advantage until the state championship. Only scenario they wouldn’t is if Region 1’s number 1 makes it to the quarterfinal. This means they have beat Cleveland and Bradley or Bearden.
Bradley’s defense is going to need to continue doing their thing. Offensively, Boo has to get more involved than he did against Cleveland. Martin had an unreal game, finally had some designed QB runs for him that gave Cleveland fits. But Boo needs his touches this week! It’s going to be a war at the line of scrimmage, Bearden is big and athletic, Bradley is strong and hard nosed. I’m expecting Kaleb to have another big time performance, as well as Boo and others!

Go Bears!!! 

This could go either way. Bradley played Cleveland very poorly because they thought they’d run over Cleveland with an easy game because of Cleveland’s 3 losses. Bradley has been anticipating bearden for weeks now… they’ve been worried about them more than any other game… so they’ll be pumped up. It’s last game and senior night. So I see Bradley coming out VERY fast and VERY strong and VERY motivated. If they can get past bearden a line early it’s gonna get nasty for bearden. But if Bradley can’t get the lead early bearden gets it. But Bradley is in full health right now. And there’s gonna be a battle because of the tension between these two teams and it’s the most important game this side of the state… it’s gonna show Oakland who their competition is gonna be. Both teams beat maryville… so they’re #1 and #2 competition for Oakland… it’s gonna be a crazy game. Bearden better be ready and Bradley better be ready. They have a lot to prove this Friday night. Stadium will be packed.., I assume bearden will bring a big crowd as well as Bradley aiming l to close off the perfect season as regional champs so there will be half the county there watching and LOUD. Bradley is a very loud and crazy crowd as it is. I’m pumped…. And nervous lol

Bradley has a whole field of weapons man. They got Carter, jarrius Rogers who is quick as lightening,goree, Martin, Tito Williams, Wilson, Ballard.. they can run or pass or QB fake and give bearden problems all night long

We have been hearing how great these dudes are all year.  Now, it's time to find out what they are really made of.  We have also heard about the lack of discipline and attitude problems all year.  So, it should be interesting to see how they fare, not only this friday night but in round 2 and 3 of the playoffs (if they make it to 3)

At Dixie Lee junction, stay on Lee Highway (US-11) and you'll go right to Bradley Central.
