Maryville's freshmen

[MaryvilleRebels]

After reading the WB off-season thread I thought it interesting that Maryville youth football teams DON'T necessarily run Maryville high school schemes. I assumed one of the secrets of Maryville's success was that the kids were well versed in the system prior to getting to high school.

 

Also, just curious, does any of the assistants, other than Gaylor, have head coaching experience?

 

I don't think that it is really possible to run the high school schemes.  At least not on offense.  Quarles adjusts to what his personnel dictates he should run.  From 2000-2002 Maryville ran a two back system with Carl Stewart and TJ Brock/Chris McCord.  Brock/McCord were finesse and Stewart was power.  I would describe it more as a pro style offense where the quarterback rarely ran the ball, but was very proficient with the pass, Cade Thompson was the quarterback for two of those years if I remember correctly.  Not exactly sure when, but that has now transformed more into a read option offense with the quarterback running the ball a lot more.  So, Quarles has not just been a one trick pony with his offense.  It has changed so the kids in peewees several years ago would not have been running what Maryville runs now.  I imagine that it may always be subject to change.

That was their freshman team. They had a large class of freshman. The one kid you refer to is also a wrestler he wrestled varsity the other day at 220 he's close to 6 5. Beckingham. His name got some snaps at d end on varsity second half of year. They have about 4 running backs with a lot of speed. Two are from Atlanta. Throne is just a track man first year footballer his brother should of got time on the varsity. Not real big but can stop and go. Yes they probably did celebrate to much but that's cause Maryville is TN football.

No problem about the celebrating here, glad they had a great time and had the experience of beating Maryville. I can't believe for my life that the boy wasn't pulled up to the varsity to play when they went 4-6. Like I said he reminded me of Jack Lambert and that was a good thing.

Same here. I didn't see the game but heard he did good still I think it was a shootout. Thing about that kid is he's a good kid too. Works hard expects nothing to be given to him. Even helps younger kids. Not a bad wrestler either. I'm sure you've seen your share up their. That freshman team at WV has a lot of promise but I think lack of linemen might catch up to them come time for varsity. But you never know. Keep asany kids playing as long as you can I always say. It's the time of their lives.

That was the first game of the season for our team and it hurt missing the three that went up to the varsity plus two of the linemen that started last year weren't apart of this team either, one chose basketball and the other moved.  It was a shootout until we threw a pick six and a couple of other mistakes and fell to far behind to catch up. I just remember number 44 more than anything that day. The freshmen defense had a hard time this year but the offense did okay even with the loss of Ervin at mid season.
