2A Team of the Week: Timpson Bears
If you’ve never heard of Timpson, get used to seeing the Bears in the spotlight in the season. Ranked as the number two team in 2A Division I, the Bears have arguably the most dynamic player in the state in quarterback Terry Bussey.
However, Bussey wasn’t available for his team’s season opening showdown against the #4 ranked Beckville Bearcats.
Spoiler, it didn’t matter.
The Bears took the Bearcats to the woodshed in a 50-14 blowout behind a huge night from backup quarterback JJ Garner.

Garner finished with 207 rushing yards and five touchdowns, while adding another 133 yards through the air. Vosky Howard scored the first touchdown of the game for the Bears before Garner accounted for the next five.
If Timpson is putting up results like this without its star quarterback, the Bears have solidified themselves as a state title contender once Bussey does return.
Next up, Timpson will make its first road trip of this season as it takes on the 3A Division I Jefferson Bulldogs.
