DEPTH DEPTH DEPTH. Webb's starters are good enough to play with just about anyone in the state. Just not a ton of depth behind them. Depth is the only thing IMO that kept Webb from upsetting Alcoa. Coaching at Webb is probably only second to Maryville in East TN. Look for a very good ball game, but Webb will have to play great to put themelves in position for a tough 4th quarter.

Maryville had one of their greatest teams 2 years ago. Webb fought hard but Maryville was too much.

 

Slightly off topic, but do you think that the 2014 Rebels will have a chance to give the 2011 team a run for their money? There is a lot of talent in Maryville's junior class this year B)

I expect a closer game this year. Maryville had one of their greatest teams 2 years ago. Webb fought hard but Maryville was too much.

 

I will say this. I truly believe had Aaron Blanche not got kicked off Webb's team in 2011 Webb wins state.

 

Maryville was very good that year and Webb was definately down. I think this year will be closer as well. And i agree with a healthy and in shape Aaron Blance Webb would have won state in 2011. Losing him hurt. And the shape he was in coming off of surgery for the maryville game was very poor. Its an privlage to play Maryville and i look forward to attending the game.

No, not even close. QB, OL, LB, DL, RB secondary etc. That 2011 team was an animal and the D was so good and loaded the coaches didnt even consider using our two 285lb O linemen on D who could have stopped anyone.] Watson was a LB playing DE and very physical, STRONG, fast and tougher than most I've seen. West was a LB that they used to lead block for Prevo and he smashed anyone in front of him. Everyone saw what the high powered Memphis O did to our D last year. Compare that to 2011 where they couldnt get in our endzone. Our juniors have "potential" but not on same level when you look at the body of work by 2011 team. They knew they were going to win every game. Very badass team. Our juniors have a lot of work to do to earn that kind of respect and toughness.

 

Back on topic. Who will be Webb's quarterback? Meske will have a few junk plays I think from the qb position ie TK's td pass last time. The crowd and seating for this game will be poor at Alcoa with all the other games that day and people hanging around wanting to see this one.

A little too early to tell. The 3 best classes I ever seen at Maryville was the 1998 seniors with Chuck Prugh and Nick Black,The 2002 seniors with Carl Stewart and Brandon Waters and the 2011 class with Jay Guilermo and Patton Robinette.

Ron is right, those were stout teams. 2011 team avg'd 40 ppg in playoffs and only Riverdale got one TD on our starters. if I remember right. Bearden 35-0, SH 45-7, SC 41-7, Riverdale 42-14. Most teams never scored on our starting D that year including at state against the best. Memphis (avg 35 ppg 39-7 Germatown, 24-14 Arlington, 34-14 WS, 44-10 Mt Juliet) WH coach said their D was one of the best nationally and they were the fastest team in TN.

 

After that game the media asked GQ if this was the best D group he'd ever coached and he said it'd be hard to argue that it wasn't and it was as good a team we've ever had defensively based on how they shut out the Whitehaven O and Dodson who had 1890 yards and 28 TD's coming into state final. That team he said was awesome and loaded with seniors. We never needed Jay or Brandon to load the D line on a goal line stand or to stop a 4th and inches. BTW both of those guys were dead even in practice in one on ones against each other.

 

You can't project what a jr class or any class will do against what a previous class has earned. It's useless talk. Our jrs and sr's havent earned anything yet. One thing is certain, the bar was set high by those who paved the way for these groups coming up.

Good point. 2005 was loaded. Watching that team execute was a pleasure. We'll have a back that looks and plays like Baker this season. The young man has spent some quality time in the gym. I think he's already squatted around 475lbs. Him and 4 year starter Prevo gonna be a big problem for D's.

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
