This game is quickly becoming the biggest of the year, and the rivalry is so big you can taste it. Ensworth will have had 2 weeks to prepare, and MBA is coming off an extremely emotional win, giving them extreme confidence. Darkwa is good, but what killed MBA last year was Jefferson, who was much more elusive in the middle of the field. Lassing looked incredible tonight, and I dont know if Ensworth can stop him, but MBAs D-Line only looked good in the last half of the 4th quarter. This will be, without a doubt, a great game, and right now I dont think anyone can call it.

Tough call. If i had to bet the pension, I'm afraid I have to go with Ensworth. Both teams are coming off a very rough and emotional win, but Ensworth's was 13 days before this one. MBA will have that working against them, and they're a bit banged up. Maplewood was a large, fast, and lean team, and they hit well. At least one MBA injury looked bad.

 

Still, if the last 5 minutes of last night's game is an indication, as it has been for 110 years, it's a bad idea to count MBA out. This will be the first game I've seen on the MBA campus in probably 20 years, so I'm really looking forward to it.

 

As to Ensworth taking coaches, Ricky pointed out that it was an awfully difficult decision, but probably the biggest factor was being at a school where all of his kids could attend. For a man who spends so much time on other people's children, the chance to squeeze in a little more with his own is hard to criticize. I hated to see him go, but you have to wish him well, this weekend's festivities excepted.

The hardest part of the game will be the officials keeping Ensworth from having 12 men on the field.

Ricky's coaching box is 15 yds onto the playing field. So much for the TSSAA coaching box that Ricky seems never to adhere to and the officials never enforce.

Kicking game advantage MBA.

Running game advantage EHS.

Passing game even.

That's pretty funny. I remember in one of our games, he calmly walked to MIDFIELD to have a little chat with the refs. Hilarious. I think the refs were so shocked that he did it, they didn't think to penalize him.

 

To be fair, the refs never enforce this rule. Both coaches in the MBA-Maplewood game were way out on the field several times last night. I can't say I blame them, though. Worst officiating crew ever.

So your saying that Orleans is all ensworth has? If I'm not mistaken Tollison(QB) had more passing yards against Oakland than Orleans had running yards. Pretty rare. But to be fair Oakland's D-line is veryy good. They also have Cooper(TE) who has already verbally committed to clemson. I think that Ensworth will go to the air more often than most people will expect. That is if they even need to. Im not saying that MBA will lose, but i think that they will have a lot of trouble with Bowers' offense.

 

How about the defense for both sides?

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      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.
