How did Henry Harris play? Was he the one guarding Orourke??

How did Henry Harris play? Was he the one guarding Orourke??

He hit all them 3's when Stratford stayed in a 2-3 zone the whole first quarter. He was hitting pure net from DEEEP. Kid can shoot! When Harris guarded him, he did nothing. Harris lead all scorers with 32. Orr looked terrible. Stratford seemed to take them for granted after jumping out to a 8 point lead in the first couple minutes. Then O'Rourke goes off and changed the game. Some skinned-headed ref wouldn't let Stratford come back. He made every call, all against Stratford down the stretch.

Love it when folks blame the officials!

 

Second, Love it when they blame the Coaches!

 

Third, Love it when the REBELS WIN!

 

Had Stratford played man, the rebels would have tried to drop the ball low to Barnes more frequently, and adjusted to that syle of play. Life is good for the Rebels when their Perimeter Game is on, then they can play inside and out!

 

Don't stop now Rebels, keep the Momemtum!

Never in my life have a seen a team with as much talent as Stratford go nowhere, they didnt want it, they ran maybe 1 or 2 set plays all game, Stratford was better in every position, and they still lost, the only person that showed up was Harris, u can blame coaching or the officials, but in the end, the players didnt want it like Franklin did.

OK, let's clear this up. Stratford has a lot of talent, but they or most any other team, could not defeat Franklin when O'Rourke shoots the 3 like he did. I think Winrow did all he could, and made many adjustments. His team continued to battle back until the final second after being ambushed by a very hot Franklin team. He has won more of these battles than lost, yet can get no respect. Mystery to me. All you bashers are ignorant.

 

Franklin shot the lights out. Harris was great as always, but got little support from Orr, who was dominated inside by Barnes all night. Franklin played really well and has just as much basketball talent as Stratford. Their 1-2, inside-out punch is tough! Give Franklin credit.

    • 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.
