It is my understanding of the rule that he is eligible to play JV/Freshman ball right now, just can't play any varsity, and he will have to sit out the first varsity game next season.  

In addition, The way I read the rule, since he has no athletic record in track, he'll be eligible to run track this year.

I got there at the end of the freshmen game. Maryville was up 26-6 and then Braden Anderson broke his collarbone and OR scores 24 unanswered points to win 30-26. I didn't see Mcgill play but he did at the first of the game. I left at the beginning of the 4 qrt in the jv game and Maryville was up 28-0. I haven't got a final on that one tho. 

How did my big #77 on the Freshman team look? He's the tallest one they got and he's hard to miss... lol

The way I read it and the way McWhorter (TSSAA) has explained it to me in the past, you are absolutely correct....no other sports that he plays will be affected this year.

Do you know who runs TSSAA?  maryville has their hands on the controller man. You not being from around here can't see it on the daily like we do but it is how things are anymore.  I don't blame them one bit because if I had the power I probably would overuse it also..

 

Just hilarious.

Thanks for the nonsense that brightens my day.

And I'm "being from around here".

That is good news and makes sense. Speaking from experience, murvil makes their own rules to limit participation if they choose regardless of what t$$aa might allow. Hopefully, that will not happen in this case, but crazier things have happened.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but you Maryville folk can't honestly believe kids transferring isn't the act of Maryville coaches/faculty reaching out to these kids/parents. Every year they some how land a great transfer from another school in the county. The back up QB who led the winning drive last week is from Townsend. I understand that success is what it is. They have earned their place with sustained success. C'mon on though guys, be objective for once. Also, let me say this, IF YOU ARE A GOOD ENOUGH PLAYER TO PLAY BIG TIME COLLEGE FOOTBALL THE COACHES KNOW WHO YOU ARE REGARDLESS OF YOUR SCHOOL. This is 2017, that stance no longer has credibility. There's to much access out there for college coaches to only look a few schools for talent. If you stack the playing and made kids go to school where they were suppose to go, the "825" isn't the best in this county, William Blount is. You Maryville folk have to be honest for once. Own the fact that your school recruits kids, that's fine it is the nature of the game now, but stop pretending like it doesn't happen. It makes you fit the stereotype. 

I just don't know how you can follow that first sentence of drivel up with a second post. But I hope you try. This dead horse can't be beat enough.

GO REBELS!!!!!!

To me this is pretty simple.  Murvil doesn't have to reach out to anybody.  Success breeds success.  People want to be a part of a winning program, bottom line.  If you have a young athlete and you are trying to decide what is the best situation for the kid, would you rather your kid go to a school that wins 6-8 games in his 4 year career and has to deal with all the drama, instability and questionable leadership that often times comes with it?  Or would you rather him be a part of a steady, healthy, and successful program?  If that is important to the parents and player than it's a no brainer.  Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.  

 

I want my boy to play for Coach Compton so he can learn the blueprint.  Lol

Parents and kids want to play for a successful program. Then why aren't kids riding past AC, Clinton, Coal field and Oliver Springs to play for OR. I'm sure some of the drives are not as far as some of the travels in Blount Co. Just asking. Rules are rules. OF course some rules benefit some more than others. Such is life.

    • 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.
