Do you know how strong their gaurd play is?

We basically have 5 guards on the floor at all times.Tallest kid we have is about 6'2 or so. All 5 on the floor are 5'11-6'2. We play a pressure D and love it when teams try to press us since all 5 kids can handle/pass the ball well. We have played multiple teams with 6'5-6'7 post players and can defend the inside game decently though. If we are hot from the perimeter we can be a pretty tough matchup for teams because of our dribble-drive and kickout options. Now that I've given away all our secrets, how about the lowdown on McEwen?

McEwen can handle the press well also. Our point gaurd is the best ball handler in the Region from what I have seen. The only way teams we have played have stopped him was by fouling. All 5 of our starters can shoot the 3. Height for the starters ranges from 5"10 to about 6"4. We do have three tall kids come off the bench, one about 6"7 + and even with him out earlier in the season, they defended a 6"8 Bedwell from WHH decently. McEwen can play a good tight man to man if needed. I guess we are going to have a good match up here.

Should be fun to watch. We only have one senior, but all our kids played some minutes in the boro last year so hopefully the big venue won't be an issue this year. Last year we kinda froze up and didn't play our game. Graduated 4 starters from then though. But as I said all the kids we have played valuable minutes for us all last year, so we are young but do have some experiance. Start 1 senior,3 jrs and 1 soph.

We start 4 seniors and 1 junior. No team from McEwen has ever made it to state, so our boys are ready to go in and do what they have to. They handle pressure well but State is a whole new experience. Interested to see this match up.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
