Good list BPM. One would think Haywood could beat all on the list except  Henry County, Hardin Co. and Dyersburg, but I haven't followed  Haywood this year so that is an assumption. So with leaving Haywood out 7-10 and the outside looking ins are all real close to one another. So going by records I don't see an argument on this list except for Haywood and I may be way off for even mentioning Haywood.

I would have Huntingdon 3 and Riverside 4 and Hardin Co. 5.  For Hardin County to struggle with a struggling Lexington team makes me question how good they are.  Dresden would be 6th.

Let me tell you guys my thinking with Haywood. Over the last few years Haywood has struggled the most (if you can call it a struggle) with physical teams that run right at you. That’s why they had a close game with Obion this year and Crockett. They lost to South Gibson a time or two when Stidham was coach and they ran that option based offense.  They have flexed their muscle on teams that have tried to spread them out and out athlete them (ex. Dyer Co. last week). So looking at the teams ahead of them, Hardin Co has proven they can beat Haywood already this year. I think Dyersburg and Henry Co could as well. Teams like the Stanks and Riverside are better at pounding the rock then Obion and Crockett and play better defense so I think they could take Haywood. But that’s just my two cents and why I have Haywood where they are.

Not going to lie, you speak a lot of truth. I will agree with about 80% of this. I watched the Dyer Co. game (on TV) and the Tomcat D appeared solid with the run game. Now i do not have stats so correct me if i'm wrong.

They are definitely improving every week. I'm not saying that Haywood could beat the other teams but it would be a lot harder than earlier in the season. 

Again, i fully respect your opinion. Just making conversation. (plus i am a little biased)

I enjoy the conversation. I think Haywood would give anyone on this list a good game now. They have definitely made great strides since the beginning of the year.

Hardin county’s win was kind of wild too. The refs called an obvious interception an incomplete pass that would’ve won Lexington the game. At least from film that was put on Facebook it was on obvious interception but from a referees point of view I have no idea.

Lexington has a knack for giving good teams a game. Example Haywood last year.

Haywood’s improved each week, and are getting hot at the right time. Dyer has been running wild with their two headed monster in the backfield and Haywood kept them in check. Their run defense has vastly improved since playing Hardin. Outside of the long run hard had, their run game was non existent

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
