Here is a preview on 2 of the teams from another website

 

Maryville 12-20 1/23/07

 

The Red Rebels have their top 2 returning pitchers back for the 2007 Season. Drew Holt (Jr) compiled a 4-5 record last year and a 4.04 ERA with a 2.5/1 strikeout to walk ratio. The slender right hander mixes his pitches well and has an outstanding curve ball. The Rebels other big gun will be Caleb Penley (Sr).Penley, a hard throwing right hander compiled a 3-5 record with 2 saves ,ERA 4.15 and also had a

2.5/1 strikeout to walk ratio. Penley's best game last season was a 2-0 loss to State Champion, Farragut, in the District tournament. Other pitchers expected to contribute are Caleb West (Jr), Alex Bush (Sr) and Drew Tinker (So). The Rebels struggled offensively last year but are expected to be much improved this season. A

few returning starters and an outstanding group of young players will make up the Rebel line-up. Zach Connell (.405) and Alex Bush (.231) will again share catching duties. Louis Darras (.353) will be back as the DH and may play some 1st base. Joseph Miranda (.262) returns at 3rd base. Ben Bryan who has struggled for average but has been a top RBI guy the last 2 years returns to play 2nd base. The other starters will come from the JV ranks of a year ago. That team won over 25 JV games last season. The pro- gress of the young players mixed in with a veteran pitching staff have the Red Rebels in their best position since a sub-state appear-ance in 2003. The Rebels will be more athletic and should improve greatly on defense which should help a solid pitching attack. A new baseball facility and a better overall outlook have the Rebels looking forward to an exciting 2007 Season.

 

Lenoir City 14-24 1/26/07

 

The Panthers return nine letterman and seven starters from a very young team. Those players include Josh Gardner-C/JR, Justin Farrington-2B/SR, Josh Harvey-SS/JR, Will Ervin-3B/SR, Skylar Kinsey-Util/JR, Steven Lovelace-OF/SO, Nathan Turner-OF/JR and Matt Ezell OF/SO. The return of Andrew Shaver-1B/SR and Justin Kinsey/JR should help. Transfer Tanner Knott/SO should also help the lineup. Several freshman have a chance to contribute and will push the older players for opportunities.

 

Lenoir City returns almost half of their inn-ings pitched a year ago. Will Ervin 37.2 IP-24Ks, Josh Harvey 7.2 IP-11Ks , Steven Lovelace 20 IP-14Ks, Justin Farrington 12.1 IP-7Ks, Nathan Turner, Tanner Knott and Justin Kinsey should all get work on the mound.

 

The keys to success with this team will be focusing for seven innings and believing in themselves and each other to bring out their potential.

The last one was pure luck. Farragut couldn't win their own district or region. Seventeen losses.

Four of those losses to arch rival Bearden. You cannot get much luckier. Halls, a much better team, should have taken them out in the sub state.

HB20/21 is a pure prveyor of passion, and as always is completely correct about his 4AAA analysis

The only reason 4AAA is strong is because of Bearden. In the past it has had thew best run booster club in the district. Strong booster clubs is what leads to a passionate baseball program.

    • 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.
