Memorable Games

What is your most memorable game ever in high school football? Mine would have to be Tennessee vs. Elizabethton in 1997. If I remember correctly, it was snowing and both teams were putting on great performances. Tennessee High ended up winning 15-13. I believe that was also the year Elizabethton made it to the semifinals to face Maryville.

On 30 Sep. 1966, with MBA in the midst of a three year unbeaten run, they played Franklin at home in a driving rainstorm. Most of the games in the midstate had been called off, but MBA chose to play it as scheduled. The game ended a 0-0 tie, and is generally regarded as the biggest upset in Nashville football.

 

I'm a bit surprised no one has mentioned the 1976 AAA championship game, won by Bradley Central over Jackson Central-Merry, 50-48, in 3 OT's.

"REBELS! REBELS! REBELS!" I'm sure they were chanting it back then, too!

 

For me personally, probably the BA-Clarksville NE playoff game back in '95 or '96 (my memory has been depleted here at college) if I look at it objectively. Looking at it non-objectively... Franklin beating Brentwood in OT in the regular season last year was awesome, but being beat out ever so slightly by the Franklin-Hendersonville quaterfinal OT game last year.

    • 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.
