I'm sure all of those guys are good, but I would still take Powers over any of them. He hit 6 or more threes in 6 freshmen games last year. He was 8-11 against Oak Ridge. You will all see before it's all said and done. Just remember you heard it hear first.

 

The Maryville two guard's name is Wes Lambert, and yes he can shoot.

I will remember that...... but also remember that it is freshman basketball that you are talking about. There becomes a real difference in just spotting up and catching and shooting in freshman versus being able to work for your own shot off the dribble from 3. Also it is much easier when you got a guy coming at you that is at max 6'1 or 6'2 versus a MAN that is 6'6 or 6'7 in the varsity level. Also my grandmother could stand there with nobody guarding her and make 60 out of 100 three's. There is a big difference in shooting with nobody guarding you and in the lights of a game. The guys that I have given you are proven shooters. They have and will get it done in the lights. Only time will tell for this young kid. So for now I think I leave him off. But I will be waiting to hear from him.

Here are my best shooters in ALL of EAST TENN.

 

1. Isaac Snapp (EAST)

2. Daryl Florence (Austin East)

3. Todd Halvorsen (DB)

4 Dustin McConnell (DB)

5. Maryville 2 guard forgot his last name.

6. Josh Odem (Science Hill)

7. Jason Seymore Powell.. (I think)

 

 

Snapp can fill it up... good addition to the list.

 

Maryville 2 guard that can stroke it is Wes Lambert. He is another guy that can catch fire from 3. A couple more I thought of were Slusher from Grace and Michael Haynes from Heritage.

All right fair enough. Hope to hear from him. Is he playing varsity this season?? AND YES! Wes Lambert is the player from Maryville that can shoot very well.

 

Snapp is the top #1. And my #2 is tight after him. My #3 and #4 are close together. Then after that the rest of my guys are close and in a bundle.

Yeah I agree with Fanofall. Though Powers may be a great shooter, there is a BIG difference in the level of Varsity and Freshman. How tall is he?

 

My list goes......

 

1. Snapp (Sullivan East)

2. Florence (Austin East

3. McConnell (Dobyns Bennett)

4. Halvorsen (Dobyns Bennett)

5. Lambert (Maryville)

6. Odem (Science Hill)

 

 

 

He is 5'5, but like I said if he is open he will make it. The thread was not who are the talest pure shooters it was who are the great shooters in East Tennessee. In all actuality he may not get many shots off, but if he does it's going in.

Jason Rock from Central shoots the 3. If he hits a couple in a row you better make sure someone is in his face the rest of the night,or he will send you home crying.

 

Also. I am not a hater. But those 2 db guys you mentioned,that only played JV last year. Do they have nerves of steel,because I think I have seen Charlie Morgan psyche some people out. Like get them thinking if they miss a shot they are coming out of the game,that may affect some of these guys with no varsity experience. I am just curious to your opinions on that or if that has any truth to it at all.

 

Go Cougars!

I didn't mention the fact that Powers was also the leading scorer on JV last season for the Panthers. He scored 20+ many times making 5 and 6 threes in several JV appearances. If he had been physically ready he would have played more and possibly started on varsity. If his body catches up with his skill he will be tremendous. Only time will tell

    • 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.
