Craig Bradshaw is one of the smoothest players I have seen live and a terror to guard. He can do it all from drive to shoot. He should have went bigger than Belmont but he is doing some big things up there in Nashville.

1. Marcus Mayben - Clarksville NW - Louisville

2. Trenton Hassell - Clarksville High - Austin Peay - NBA for over 10 Years for various teams

3. Shawn Marion - Clarksville High - JUCO POY - UNLV - Numerous time NBA All-star currently playing for the Cavs

 

Played against all 3 of these guys. Hard to believe they were all in the same district in high school!! I put them in order of who I thought was better at that time. Mayben was an absolute stud who could take you off the bounce and shoot it from deep. Had a really great career at Louisville and was destined for the NBA before a motorcycle accident pretty much paralyzed him. Hassell was overall a better player at that time then Marion. Watched him play a Vincent Yarborough Cleveland team in the state tournament and almost single handedly beat them with about 35 points. Shawn Marion ended up having the overall best career obviously but didn't really blossom until he got to Junior College. He was an athletic freak in high school, and I still can't believe with him and Hassell on the same team for that many years they didn't win a state tournament, although they got there a couple of times. Those were the Clarksville glory days and some of the best basketball games I've ever watched when those two teams played each other. It was standing room only at all of those games.

Man I remember in an AAU tourney playing against Maybin, Marion, and Charles Hathaway. The final score was like 130 to 120 something. Maybin dunked everything on the break and Marion tried to catch every miss and slam it in. We gave them everything they wanted but they were awesome.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • 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.
