the patrits used to be tuff to handle but then all there good boys started going down 11-e to west or across the lake to bean station high. 

Well, even West hasn't had what I would call a really good team in awhile. Back in the late 90s early 2000s they gave Maryville all they wanted though in the old 5A classification.

Yeah, I don't understand what's happened to Morristown West either.  Like you said Sweet, they used to be really good and give Maryville good competition.  Wonder why they have regressed?

That's a good question. I have no idea. It seems the only two teams who never go through hard times are Maryville and Alcoa. Everybody else is susceptible to these things except for those 2 it seems haha

Maryville and Alcoa have the benefit of picking up kids from knox and blount county. This type of stuff hurts High School Sports but mostly football. If a kid is zoned for a school he/she should play for the kid they are zoned for.

Yeah, but I don't think they recruit in the way that you think. Kids from all over come there to play for and to win championships. That's what happens when you build a culture of winning like they have. The names recruit themselves. With that said, there's something to be said for playing with all homegrown kids. It makes me proud to know that 98% of our guys were born and raised here in OR. Now if we started winning title after title with kids from all over I might change my mind haha.

Farragut lost a good player to Maryville a few years back and we have never heard the end of it yet. The father was going to send the kid somewhere else no matter what and so happens one of his work associates suggested looking at Maryville. It didn't hurt things that work partner happened to have played for Maryville, Tennessee and The Dallas Cowboys.

Farragut ain't the only team that has lost players to Maryville. It's supposed to be a lottery system but it's funny that if a good athlete applies for that lottery their number gets pulled.

You need to live closer to the situation and you might learn the truth. I know of only six kids off the top of my head that came here in the last twelve years that made any difference at all on the field and have listened how they ended up here. Most were from out of state which being a school with 1,600 students are going to get a transfer every now and then. If your talking about Maryville and Alcoa players they have both had two dozen each go both ways over the past twelve years also. Maryville will not take a tuition student for football reasons as you are suggesting. The school is over crowded and busting at the seams. It don't matter where you go to watch a ballgame at locally you can count on some varmint setting close by that is running their mouth about Maryville and things they have heard and added to. They add so much that it's not even believable to anyone.

    • 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.
