Brad Walker is only a freshmen. He can fly! He is from Friendsville.He will be a stud! We Rebel fans have to see him for 4 years. Carl didn't run! Drew Galyon ran for Maryville and finished 2nd. Matt Oliver finished 2nd in the linemen dash. Maryville's kicker finished first in kickoffs and Jacob Holt won the pass contest. He threw it 68 yds.

 

Maryville jr varsity vs Pigeon Forge

 

Maryville's first two possessions were turnovers on the 1st play. Pigeon Forge scored 1st and Maryville scored on their last 2 possessions. Antonio Byner looked real good. I am glad we will have him for three years. He would start for most teams. He is very quick and elusive. Larry Hannon will be starting next year at linebacker.He is tough.Zach Thomason and Denarius Arrington looked good at linebacker also. Our youngsters looked real good.I was pleased with the young offensive line.Looks like Maryville can have a pretty good line the next few years.

 

Maryville vs Seymour.

 

This was more or less a jr varsity game. Cade threw a TD to Merrit on the 1st play. Merrit,Cade Thompson and Chris McCord were the only 1st teamers in there on the 1st play.1st teamers Carl Stewart,Brandon Waters,Drew Eubanks,Isaac Cline,Jacob Holt and Tyler Gaskin never played.

 

None of the starters on defense played except for Merrit and Clement.

 

Cade Thompson throws the ball very well. Andrew Clement can throw the ball very well. If Cade doesn't make many mistakes I think the offense will be unstoppable.I don't know how well Cade reads defenses but I know one thing. He throws the ball very well.He is accurate and has plenty of zip on the sideline patterns. Byner and other young backs ran the ball well.

 

I was pleased with both games but the receivers dropped too many passes. There were 2 interceptions that were interceptions because of balls being tipped into defensive backs hands.

 

Good job Rebels and lets get ready for Alcoa.

Good post Ron, thanx for the info. Cade seems like a focused kid he is a good replacement. That Maryville junior class is really growing into a good bunch and they are only increasing the depth of one of the states deepest teams.

    • 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.
