Go Warriors!!!!

 

It's game day!!!

 

Should be a great game tonight. In games like this I always prefer to have the team that is loaded with seniors but that is not the hand we were dealt. We'll just have to do it with what we've got. We've come a long way since September but I'm sure LC has too.

 

At the end of the night one pretty good team will move forward, hopefully to win it all, and another pretty good team will start preparing for next season. That's just the way it is. May the winner win with class, and the loser hold their head high after leaving it all on the field.

 

Picking this game is no easier on Friday than it was on Monday. LC has been the model of consistency, Riverdale has played some great football down the stretch. LC took the first game but that was long ago. The Falcons got out with an early 14-0 lead after the interception and blocked punt. The teams played pretty close the rest of the game. LC has the seniors, size, and strength. Riverdale has the depth, speed, and swagger. The Pit will be a factor but the venue won't determine the winner. The two teams are not very similar but are pretty evenly matched. Mistakes, defense, and special teams decide most games that are played at a championship level. This one will be no different.

May everyone play like champions. Let's get through this one healthy. The winner has two more game to play.

TDCman....very nice post, classy. I agree that in games like this I would prefer to have the seniors. Look at most state championship teams...they are loaded with seniors.

 

You acknowledge another very good point. Riverdale has improved since the first meeting between these two. And then you mention something that many folks don't seem to realize....SO HAS LC.

 

I agree also that mistakes will determine the winner of this game. The two teams are closely enough matched that neither can afford to "GIVE" much to the other.

 

Where I disagree with you is in the venue making the difference. Playing at home has to be worth something for the Falcons. Playing at home with a senior ball club will make the difference, barring killer mistakes.

 

There will be no "loser" when this game is over. Unfortunately, one team will be behind when the clock runs out.

 

May they both play their best game tonight.

    • 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.
