All maryville has back that r key contributers r reynolds and click thats pretty mucc it. If they want to compete with the others around this area there r gonna need some transfers. i think that maryvilles hopes for another state basketball crown will have ot wait a long time.

What i saw in this game was Maryville was the much better team but just did not have the right game plan. Not taking anything away from OR but maryville ddi not go down low enuff. When Douglas and reynolds got the ball down low the scored almost everytime. Maryville guards shot to many 3's without giving the post a chance to open up the 3. If maryville would of went down low then the 3's would of opened up with ease. Congrats to Oak Ridge

What do the Red Rebels have coming back next year? What will they do to replace this bunch of seniors and who will QB the squad next season?

In my eyes i dont know how they are going to win state. They finally lose pretty much all the good position players and even some of their line and defense. But who knows i mean Maryville and GQ always seem to get it done. Its like there just a machine that reloads every year. I have seen what they have coming up and it just doesnt seem possible but who know what Maryville will pop up with next year. I cant see after loosing Burnette, Douglas Shiver Clendenen Rodriguez and few other good players who else is left.

Don't give the region crown to Maryville just yet. Oak Ridge, Bearden and Farragut all are quite capable teams with experienced coaches. Maryville only has one major contributor on the football team this year, so it is unlikely they will show the improvement into February the have in previous years. I still think the region is a complete toss-up.

Yea i think ur very right on this one. I would have to say this is a very long season and already crowning Maryville region champs is pretty tough. If im not mistaken other than last year Maryville hadnt got out of the region in a long time since Lees days. I am gonna go on a shot with putting oak Ridge and Bearden on top of the region this year. Repeats only come in football at Maryville.

I attended this game last night and I have to say it was one of the best high school basketball games I have ever seen. It was back and forth the whole game and alot of fun to watch.

 

Both of these teams are coached very well and both have the athletes to take them to state. This will be a battle for the district and region. As for my thoughts on the game: Breaden has more depth than Maryville does right now, that may change however by the time they meet again. Jenkins is Bearden's best player by far however he did guard Damron all night before he fouled out and he put up 42!!! Simpson is a good player down low but did not dominate the boards like I thought he should have... still he scored 27 that shuts me up. Jenkins makes dunking look so easy. And I cant believe the craig kid from bearden is not in the startng lineup, he does the little things so well (boxes out, defends, follows shots) I thought he should have played more. Its obvious Coach Blevins is a fabulous coach and all his Breaden teams are very fundamentaly sound. As for Maryville they do not have much of a bench right bow. They did have some kids that looked like they had potential but when they were in late in the game they looked scared to death. Click is ALOT better than last year... he does a lot of things well nad can even bang down low. Lambert is a pure shooter and when you get up in his face he will take you to the whole. Click and Lambert are capable to put up 20 on any night. Reynolds has developed a mini hook shot that I never saw last year that he scored most of his 17 on. Walker is a solid defender and kept Beardens PG in check all night... he is also a very intense player. And finally, Ill go ahead and make a BOLD prediction: Damron will carry this team back to the state tournament... He shot alot last night, but my lord he hit most of em... that kid is one heck of a player and can drain 3's; he is very quick with the dribble and to the whole before you know it. Coach E does a great job of putting these kids in position to make plays... I like what he is doing at MHS. Also Maryville has the best assistant coach in the state: scott west; now this guy has some intesity

Best Assistant in the state haha u got to be kidding me this guy is the biggest joke he couldnt even make it as a girls coach at Maryville so Eldridge needed some help.

I would have to go with Bearden and oak Ridge. Maryville has a complete team but i think Bearden is to much for them. They had an awsome run last year but i think they were a lot more complete team. Oak Ridge has some good athletes and these kids have been together for a while. I am gonna say they put it together this year.

Will it be Maryville, Farr., Oak Ridge, or Bearden but i would have to say bearden is gonna be on top. When Douglas gets back Maryville with be even stronger than thy already are but other than Douglas Maryville is very weak team. I saw this last year that Maryville's younger players were not strong i have yet to see them this year so maybe they got a bigger but a trip back to state in my opinion is to tough for this team. Especially another state title i highly doubt that. I would have to predict a heart breaking loss in region tourney for this year defending state champs. My two teams out of this region would have to be Bearden and Oak Ridge. Oak Ridge will be returning some key guys from a good ball club the only thin about this team will they come together.
