This scrimmage is a tradition. Every year for as long as I can remember these two fine schools have scrimmaged each other.

 

I can remember Emory Hale getting on the Maryville bus and telling us "We are going to kick your butt today" then Ted Wilson would look at us and say "You guys going to take that? I'm not going to take that!"

 

After all that Emory would go to the Oak Ridge locker room and tell his guys that Maryville is going to kick their butt to get his players mad.

 

From reading the oakridger it sounds like the wildcats will be hard to handle. Beating South Doyle 8 tds to 1 is impressive. I am looking forward to going to Oak Ridge this friday.

I think that this scrimmage will be another test for oakridge, but I don't think that this test will be enough to really prove any thing. The wildcats have alot better team than last year and that will be enough for them to make their presence felt in 5A this season. I can't wait to brag on this team!!!

SirPettus,

 

Please spell the coach's name correctly. Also, for you, as an Oak Ridge fan, to be this excited over beating South-Doyle in a scrimmage shows how quick you are to grasp at straws. Has South-Doyle ever won anything in football?

 

This Friday will be the first real test for Oak Ridge. As always, I hope the 'Cats do well.

I got to see the two state champions scrimmage last week to a 14-14 tie. If OR doesn't have a passing game MHS will have an edge. Also Maryville QB had a pretty good day last saturday. If he stays consistent should give teams problems. This should be a great game between two good O/D lines. Both teams have adequate depth at those positions.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
