Maryville is Overrated

Those Maryville boys really like to talk on the floor. Seems like Joe is always trying to get into a scuffle with somebody. In any other situation I would say Glover's dunk was uncalled for but last night it wasn't. The Maryville players and fans bring that stuff on themselves and then like to cry about poor sportsmanship when they lose. 

There is facts, there is gospel, and then there is this.

I found it interesting that there were 1-2 “bench players”, that haven’t gotten significant minutes the last 5 matchups, get minutes in an elimination game. It was almost there sole purpose was to foul/attempt to fluster the superior guards at Bearden.

Bearden guards too good to get flustered.

Bearden. 73-59

Had the margin of victory right at least. In the end, Bearden just had too much size in the front court for us. I bet they blocked close to 10-15 of our shots tonight. Our guys battled like he*& and actually got it down to 4 at one point in the 3rd, but their size and length were just too much to overcome. All the credit in the world to the Bulldogs, they are a fantastic team, but they can be overly cocky and downright arrogant at times. Some say if you can back it up then that's okay, but not me, I am old school. Playing with class is a lost art in today's society in a lot of ways. With that said, they are very very good.

In the first half, I thought Bearden's 2nd chance points were the difference. Kesterson made some 3s to close the gap. Oak Ridge made a run and Bearden was able to answer in the 2nd half. Marcus Smith is a fantastic player. Pember had 10 blocks tonight.

Yes, I said one of the keys going into the game that would give us a slight chance would be for us to not give up a lot of offensive rebounds and 2nd chance points. Well, that obviously didn't come to fruition tonight. Again, just too much length. I thought our guys did well for the most part. I am proud of them. Hopefully we can beat Sevier County on Saturday and still make it to state.

    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
    • I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
