Let me follow that one...what sort of depth does MBA have? Traditionally, that's been something of an issue, given that the school has roughly 300 boys from which to build a team. How many players are there actually out there? Not that it's really indicative of anything, but the school's website posts a detailed schedule for all of its teams, and there is none listed for JV football.

 

 

I can help with this one. THe JV team just consists of Varsity players who don't play in the Varsity games. There's not a strict JV roster but it usually consists of the Varsity scout team players.

Depth shouldn't be a huge problem. Now, whether or not it is quality depth, I don't know yet. However, as RedTwin suggested, the guys taking Tompkins' and Howe's places have shown promise. As far as numbers go, I think there's roughly 80-90 guys on the varsity and that is excluiding freshmen, which have their own team. The MBA website, while very nice, doesn't always do a great job of posting up to date schedules or details on the teams.

I'm glad to see that they have good people to fill the gaps. I like to look in on the lower level teams at MBA, partly to see what's coming up, but more out of fondness: I played on the 7th, 8th, and 9th grade teams, at which time it became apparent that world (or at least District 11 AAA) had very little need for 120 lb. centers.

 

In my time there ('73-'79), JV football was an on again-off again thing. I'm glad to see that they still play 9th grade football. I think a lot of good players would get lost in the shuffle otherwise.

Who is going to take Howe's place at QB and what is the young man's background? Didn't the backup QB transfer to a Williamson County where he could get more playing time?

 

Austin Bennett will replace Howe at QB. He is a junior that played sparingly at DE last year. He did show some promise handling the team at the end of the Trinity game last week. Last year's backup, Zach Cordell, is now the starter at Independence. He has thrown for nearly 500 yards in two games.

everyone is being ridiculous Mus has proven themselves against Melrose and MBA has lost many starters I think Mus will win greatly

Let me guess you are another MUS freshman that knows absolutely nothing? MUS did not prove much against Melrose in my honest opinion. Yes, Melrose had talent but lacked any semblence of discipline. Melrose had that game won which does not bode well for MUS this season. As for MUS winning greatly haha I think not if anything it will be very close down to the wire. Even with key players gone MBA will not be a pushover. Do a little research and try to analyze things correctly before making asinine one sentence statements. GO OWLS!!!

No joke the kid has thrown for nearly 500 yards in two game? How was he not the starter at MBA & why did he leave?

Actually 434 yards. So, I was a little off. He was a sophmore last year and Rutledge felt that Howe was better, I guess. His reasons for leaving are not clear.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
