A resounding 38-14 Region 2-6A victory by Bearden at Farragut’s newly dedicated Eddie Courtney Stadium Saturday evening, Sept. 28, was the BHS program’s first consecutive win streak versus the Admirals since winning three in a row from 1999 through 2001.
“It’s awesome,” senior Dawgs quarterback Jeremy Parrott said. “I credit this to a great week of prep. I think we were locked in at practice this week. I think that the O-Line was doing what they were supposed to do every single play. … My teammates and my defense, we executed the way we were supposed to tonight, and the scoreboard shows.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Drew Parrott, man,” said Bearden head coach Josh Jones, whose team improved to 3-2 overall, 2-0 in region. “He’s the ultimate teammate. He’s going to do whatever he’s asked for his team, and he’s going to do it at a very high level. I thought he did really well tonight. Thought he played at a high level.”
Jones labeled big senior running back Torian Riggins and elusive junior running back Jayzon Thompson “Thunder and Lighting” for their different, yet quite effective, running styles. About the big guys blocking, “I’m so proud of our offensive line tonight. We told them we were going to put the offensive game plan on their backs, and they were good with that. … You see us getting better every single week up front. Tonight, we had left tackle Charles Humphrey, left guard Karnell Mills, centers Isaiah Harvey and Jaxon Davis — both of them played at center tonight — at right guard we had Reid Rowland, and at right tackle we had Eli Tolley. They just battled and competed, and I’m so proud of them. They put the game plan on their shoulders, and they and did well tonight.”
Rowland, a senior, said about he and his fellow offensive linemen, “We’re family. … We all are friends; we play as a team and we love each other.”
