not sure I agree with that but I do not know any of their players other then the two who are at UT right now.   can you list me two that are not named Sensabaugh??  

 

Even if it is true none of them ever made it past the third round of the state playoffs!  most lost in the 2nd round. and thats when you have to play teams west of Morristown.

 

 

 

 

I bet there are more DB players in the last 10 years playing ball in the NFL !! Just sayin..

I had the chance to watch the semi-final game vs Siegel a few years ago. Maryville was getting beat in the first half but they never panicked. As the game went on it became apparent that they expect

you show me their "DB"  record in the playoffs!!!!!!!  How many times in the last 20 years have they made it to the finales?   or even semifinals....?????     there are some good football players that come from the upper east tennessee..   but you do not see teams that do it on the level of Maryville the way they have the last 14+ years.    I mean just look at what happened tonight...   they took what many thought was a good S-Hill team and made it look easy.    

Your right about the playoffs. DB can't compete in the playoffs. But that's all on coaching obviously. Playing on the level with Maryville is not just a upper east tn. problem. I don't see anybody in the state playing on their level. But the coaching in upper east tn. is very weak that's for sure. I don't see that ever changing.

Here's my 2 cents

1)Coaching-Maryville always has decent athletes, but not near the caliber of your more urban schools.

2)Tradition-My grandfather played at Maryville, My Dad played at Maryville, I played at Maryville, and hopefully my son will play at Maryville. I spent every Friday night during football season at shields stadium from as early as I can remember until I walked off of the field for the last time. It was ingrained in my upbringing. In Blount County you grow up wanting to play for Maryville or Alcoa. That is not the case with the other 2 schools.

3)Feeder Programs-The coaches from the grasshoppers to the middle school are preparing the kids the right way. And it's not uncommon to see the high school coaches at those games rooting for kids that will one day be playing for them.

 

There are other factors I'm sure, but those three really stick out to me.

Delany/Chicago, Kilgore/49rs.

 

Also DB plays teams west of Morristown during regular season. Sevier Co., Farragut, Ooltewah, East Hamilton the past two years. Also in the old Big East conference which DB dominated and won every year but one most of the teams they played were west of Morristown. True DB hasn't had much luck in the playoffs against any team but in regular season they have won a lot more than they have lost against teams west of Morristown. It is a myth that they can't compete with those teams. You fell for the myth. Sorry

That's worth more than 2 cents. But not many people will get it. Its just not complicated enough.

Eat,sleep and breathe football huh?

That's how I was raised. Of course I can't speak for the boys playing now. But some of them are 2nd and 3rd generation rebels like myself. Then again some of them have moved from out of state, and some of them had Dads that played for other schools in the area. What is the old saying "if you build it he will come." It's built and they're coming.

      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.
