and to all the maryville best pitcher ppl...central killed both of them this weekend. put two up on barbie and 4 on connatser...you tell me??

 

Maryville almost always looks terrible in preseason games. I think it is part of Coach Hawkins stategy. Come tournament time, I'd rather play ANYBODY but Maryville.

well the strategy thing is a lame excuse. and honestly what would that strategy be?? because i sure dont know what it would be. i expect your daughter plays for them and yeah you might not want to play them again. but we are chomping at the bit. and WHEN tournament time comes we will see if the "strategy" really paid off.

I can assure you that I never want the Maryville softball team to look bad, and I certainly don't "plan" on us playing poorly as part of some strategic move. If I were another team's coach, I'd be chomping at the bit to play us as well, based on Saturday's performance. On the other hand, a scrimmage game does not count. We try a lot of things in scrimmages that we would probably never do in a real game. I don't get as upset over pre season mistakes as I do during the post season. I think all teams play with more intensity and focus during the post season than they do in playdate scrimmages. I'm assuming that that is what WmBlGovs meant by his/her statement. I take his/her comments about strategy as being tongue and cheek. William Blount is always a tough opponent for us, especially since our schools are only about 4 miles apart.

Well it was obviously it was barbie if she only had two against her. She was just getting blooped they weren't even solid hits. And they way she threw that pigeon forge game was nice she was on her money I think they scored one on a left field error. Barbie didn't get any solid hits hit on her everything was just bloopers connatser got ate alive out there against central.

Well it would still be barbie. She had the least runs scored against her. And her composer is really good. Her and that catcher she was with really knew how to comunicate they got better as the day went on. Look at her pigeon forge game. The other catcher and connatser just threw pitches. Barbie really put a hurting on pigeon forge with 4 or 5 strikeouts in two innings. barbie and her catcher were in sync they just looked at each other when she wanted a different pitch it was normally on the money. I believe barbie will be the pitcher of the year but connatser being the senior barbie will get pushed to the back. It is looking like she will be on third. I'm pretty stoked to see her in action in both places. Next year she will dominate.

      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.
