The Harris kid is as good as I have seen. Ever. He is amazing. Proud of my black bears. Harris had around 70 yards in the first half. Two big runs. Otherwise Madison punted several times. He turned it on late in the 4th. He ended up with near 350 yards. The Bears were atop the Class 5A in defense against the rush. Yes, he is really that good. The Bears were plagued with injuries over the past two weeks and that showed tonight. Not an excuse. Yes, the Bears do have players that play on both sides of the ball. That's what you've got and that's what you have to play with. Two starting linemen and a defensive end were not playing tonight. Not an excuse, but those are tough losses for any teams offense and defense. Especially if you are facing the best running back in the state. I think Madison Southern blew up the bears line at the weaknesses and that hurt the Bears offense, especially twice in the red zone. Bailey scrambled more than he could pass and was sacked several times, while the run was stuffed on those drives a few times as well. The Black Bears had more total offensive yards tonight, but Harris finished it with the final TD run on third and long, late. It is, as always is, tough on the seniors. Coach Larkey and Staff run a topnotch program and will get these Bears working hard again in the offseason for another playoff run next year. Good luck to Madison Southern, I hope you put the smackdown on Pulaski. Nothing like putting the smackdown on Pulaski and Whitley. Love those Seniors! GO BLACK BEARS!!!!!
