I remember a championship game between Ensworth and Baylor a few years ago. Baylor won by a large margin in the regular season but Ensworth blew them out in the championship. What are the odds that this goes down the same way??

 

I always thought it was interesting how the Div 2 games could go in different directions. I guess the talent is so good on these teams that different results on any given week is very possible.

That was 2011; Baylor won the first game 42-14 while Ensworth won the rematch in the state final 48-10.

 

In 2013, BA destroyed Ensworth during the season 36-10 and Ensworth won the rematch in the state semi-final game 21-12.

 

Last year, Ensworth beat MBA in a high scoring game during the regular season (I think it was 50-48 or something like that in overtime) but the Big Red beat Ensworth in a low scoring contest (10-7) in the state final.

MBA has played its best football since the blow-out loss to BA.  It's best game IMO was the Baylor game following the open date.  It was so-so against Ensworth, but then very good against McCallie and

This game should be played in Nashville!  They will be lucky to have 1000 people at the game but if it were played in Nashville on a Friday or Saturday night you could possibly  have 5000+.

Watching the game and all I see is all offense and no defense from either team. Maryville would manhandle either one of these teams,they can play defense along with their offense. JMO and I am not a M

I watched a lot of those games in the past, where rematches occurred in the play-offs, and the team that lost round 1 ended up winning round 2.  This one doesn't have the same feel as those in the past.  Even as good as that 2013 BA team was with Chris Sanders and Derek Barnett, you could see some cracks that night when they hammered Ensworth.  I remember Ensworth just looking flat and exhausted that night, playing in front of a raucous crowd, and thinking that the rematch would be different.  I also remember Ricky playing it really conservative once they got down.  I think he was saving his bullets for the rematch.

 

There wasn't much of anything in that first match-up between MBA and BA that indicates to me round 2 will be different.  If there is anything at all, it's that the BA receivers made so many amazing catches that night, including a bunch on 3rd down, that maybe some of those fall incomplete this go round.  Or maybe Ty gets loose for some big gainers early on...BA set the tone early by forcing a bunch of MBA 3 and outs.  MBA has to keep the chains moving and the offense on the field to have a chance...

To my eyes that 2013 game at BA was one of the best games I have seen BA play since I have been associated with the school .I also enjoyed the BA St X game at home. This years MBA game is certainly on the list of great performances by BA. Imo the BA - Ensworth game in 2013 was slightly better - even though the score was one sided there were hits in that game that just hurt to watch .

I think the big difference is the QB position...just the balance of run/pass..and the QB runs mixed in that Oastvall brings to the table.  A defense has to respect pretty much everything going up against BA....

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
