Red Rebels

Recommended Posts

Personally I love Oregon ducks field. How the green alternates, with the light and the dark it's just so pretty...

 

 

I will say what was very amusing about warm ups is the bushes behind the goal post.

Haha did yall keep seeing the riverdale players going in their looking for the balls. At first I thought it was weird but the more and more they did it.. I started laughing.

I know y'all can't help the bushes/trees but it was fun to watch!

I'm old school too , but if we have to play on this bad of a field anymore I would gladly do my part and contribute money towards new Field Turf . I do think it's a shame that Maryville Football has given so much to our community , but some people on the School board seem to think that Maryville Football doesn't deserve anything back in return . The fact that the Football team Striving for Excellence has translated into striving for Excellence in the Classroom also , seems to have been overlooked by some of these Board members .

 

Coach Quarles and this Football team deserve the very best facilities in this State , anybody who thinks what we have is in proportion to our Football team needs to go to either Greeneville , Kingsport , or even Science hill in Johnson city and check their facilities out .

Stars. I think field conditions are related to yas mascot. Ya are in East Tennessee. There were about as many rebels in murvulle as jazz players in Utah or Rams in St Louis. Lol. Ya have a different growing season and topology. Black hole is great example of topology. Not good for cotton and not best for football. I remember Memorial Stadium in Baltimore years ago. Talk about lack of grass. And about as many rebels as Maryville. That is my historical thesis. :)

 

The Maryville Rebels nickname, I have been told, actually came from an argument with the TSSAA. I don't remember all the details, but I believe that Maryville was at one point the Fighting Red Elephants. Then there were some eligibility issues with players or something to that extent and Maryville wasn't allowed to play. Due to that Maryville rebelled against the system and became the Maryville Rebels. It doesn't have anything to do with the civil war or anything to that extent.

 

I am sure others here might remember the details better than me and can clear it up, but the point is that it our nickname came from our own doing. haha

    • 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.
