You are a joke…No one on this thread has said anything about MC being 1A champs…you need to go back and post and worry about your H-u-n-t-I-n-g-D-o-N thread…..

It ALL goes through Lynchburg?  Sounds like you’ve already written off McKenzie and moved on to next week. I’ll post on any thread I want to post on. I always have and some  Johnny come lately wont stop me from doing it.

Those touting McKenzie's win over Collinwood, c'mon, we all saw the demeaner of that team changed when they carted their player off the field. The game was over at that point. 

Anything can happen, but after seeing Cornersville play both teams, I still think MC comes out on top 35-14. Yes it will be their toughest game of the season. Yes, McKenzie is a darn good team and are well coached. 

Both teams have playmakers all over the field. What will be the difference in this game is not going to be the coaches calling the plays. Its going to come down to the players on the field. What makes MC such a wrecking ball is when the play called breaks down, that is when they are at their best. When it turns into backyard football, they make unbelievable plays. Yes it can be unorthodox. While McKenzie's QB may be "better" by QB standards for recruits at the next level, what Dawson can and will do now, at this level, making plays is going to be difference. The rest of the team knows this as well and they all keep working until the play is over. He and 23 are far more elusive than any player McKenzie has.

I’ll give it to the MC quarterback, he can run and is hard to contain.  But passing, he looks like a middle school QB throwing the ball.  

I'm pretty sure you didn't see him this past Friday night.  I already knew how mobile and elusive he was (he's a glider) but was most impressed with his arm this past week.  Young man can sling it when he wants/needs to.

1,954 yds passing.  .739 completion percentage.  24 passing TD's. 138.5 QB rating.  All this and he probably hasn't played 8 min total in the 4th quarter all year and hasn't played in the second half period since week 7 vs Collinwood.  Come on man.

Rebels preparing for a game.  Afraiders think it is a party.  Rebels stuff the run really well.  I just don't see Moore County passing against a very athletic rebel team.  Im 100% not a rebel fan.  My team lost first round of the 4A playoffs to melrose.  If i had to pick a favorite style of play team it is 100% UC and Mustanks.  I do love watching local teams.  Lake, trenton, UC, dresden, mustanks,  gleason.   Maybe I'm wrong and Moore county is legit, but this is the FIRST top 5 opponent they will play all year, so who knows.  But trolling is fun too.  I am a homer on my local football teams.  Just like y'all amazing whiskey makers

Only McKenzie posters I see on this thread is myself and   VOLnWTN  who is one of the best posters on the T  IMO very respectful and always  keeps it 100% . So here is the Mckenzie perspective. We have played Moore County the past 2 years so nobody has to tell us how good they are  we know what we are walking into come this Friday night. If you go back and and read my post from earlier in the year I had Moore County as the favorite coming out the west before the season even started while everyone else was picking UC ( and UC still may make it all the way.) We are the underdog on the road against a team that has plenty of motivation to want to take us out to the wood shed. There are numerous ways this game can play out and Mckenzie winning is definitely one of those. I think back to a very young Rebel team in 2020 who they said  had no shot in a 2A quarterfinal on the road @ Peabody and the Rebels  took the eventual state champs to double overtime. We have the most respect for this Moore Co team and coaching  staff.  Our boys will show up and give them all we got and let the chips fall where they may. If we come up short we will tip our cap and move on. If we come out on the winning side the Rebels will be ready for another big test the following week. Hoping both teams  come out of this one healthy and 100% moving forward.

Like I said, his running opens up his passing.  Scrambles and dumps it over someones head.  Not a true passer by any means, but can flat scramble and run.

Well Said and 100% agree

    • 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.
