Halls is probably the most redneck-dominated school I have ever attended. That's saying something, considering I've been to about 7 different schools (I've lived in four different states before Tennessee).

 

Not saying they're all rednecks over there --- I still have friends from there --- but that kind of attitude is certainly prevalent.

 

Very sports-oriented as well. In fact, I think some time ago Halls hired a psychiatrist just for the football team's benefit --- they said that he was there for the entire school, but he was really there for the football players, trust me. They wanted to get any advantage that they could possibly get in football.

 

Plus, the teachers were not inspirational at Halls. A lot of times, they seemed not to really care about how their students were doing (I won't name names). A lot of times, they'd cancel classes just to take us to basketball games, which in my opinion was just stupid.

 

There are exceptions to this, as well. My art and biology teachers were very nice people and good teachers at Halls. But mostly, they were terrible.

 

The educational level of Maryville is really something else, on the other hand! There's just the feeling that they really care about your education there, and it is more of a friendly atmosphere over there, overall.

 

A fight happens all the time at Halls; at Maryville it's more of a rarity (still happens, though).

 

At Halls there were about six, seven troublemakers that everybody hated. At Maryville, if there were any troublemakers, they sure didn't do anything much on the inside of the school halls.

 

I just liked Maryville better, period.

 

Of course all these observations I just listed on here are taken from nearly eight years ago (wow, has it been that long?) so things might be a little different now at Halls. I still have some lingering bad feelings from my experience at Halls, however, and so I'm always looking for the Red Rebels to humble these Red Devils. ;)

    • 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.
    • 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.
