Oakland @ Maryville

Oakland played Hoover to a 24-6 game back early in the season. I remember the CoachT posters asking back then "why is Maryville scared to play Hoover and/or Clay-Chalkville?". Is Maryville as good as Hoover? I've told people that they are better but many people doubt that opinion and say that Maryville's success is because they don't play in the "SEC of Tennessee High School Football" week in and week out. That's always been the big myth about MHS from folks here in the midstate area.

Oakland vs Maryville is going to be a case of one team ( Oakland) maybe having a couple of superior athletes but Maryville having the much better TEAM. As Blackman's coach said, Maryville has no weaknesses. Nearly impossible to beat a team that has no weaknesses and that is as well coached as Maryville.

Going to be a challenge for sure. Oakland will have to play flawless, but Creasy will have his team prepared.

Here in the east we like to say they recruit and play 9th graders. Everyone needs a crutch I guess.

It really is a shame that Hoover and Maryville have never played,  they have both been dominant for so long.  This year's Hoover team was as bad as they have been since 1999. (they lost last night in the semi's) 

 

Hoover has played in the state championship 13 out of the last fifteen years,  winning the championship ten times. 

 

The only reason Hoover gets more recognition than Maryville is because they play 2-3 games a year against out of state teams and those games tend to get televised nationally. 

 

Anyone who thinks Maryville is not as good as Hoover,  just does not know football. Maryville could play with anyone in the southeast.

    • 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.
