None that I know and I know more than you currently. The chairman of the school board liked my tweets on the history of the name. The school knows all about Coach Dean Bailey suiting up a couple of Maryville College players in 1934 and being banned from playing a TSSAA schedule in 1935. He played a 1935 season anyway against NC, GA. AL and a few NON-TSSAA teams in TN. They deemed him a REBEL. The name stuck. One of the initial leaders of this, is a 2014 Grad who went to Belmont and now she feels really bad for people who she never associated with in high school (athletes).

Well good for you, apparently you must not have seen the letter and who's email was on it at the bottom. I could open a can of worms on here but things will take care of themself without that. Far as the 35 team I personally knew at least half a dozen men on that team and heard their stories when they were alive without having to go look up articles from newspapers of the past. I also knew men when I was younger that played on the very first Maryville team in 1926. Also I played for Maryville when they had all the past captains of every team prior to one of our games come and be introduced to the crowd from 26 forward and most were still living at that time. I just didn't know at the time to bring a camera and a tape recorder.

You are so cryptic. I don't do the FB where most of this is going down. I do know people who walk those halls daily, Most meetings end with, "How 'bout them Rebels" or "Let's go Rebels" . 

You are hard to talk to. I look stuff up to get the dates correct. Half the schools names are wrong on the 1935 seasons results. I looked it up, to be correct. The info on the Alabama schools was from the AL HS database. I've also talked to people at Fulton, who have the Stair Tech records.  And you yourself have every program from the last 50 years or longer. 

 

Once again, what letter?

And crotchety!

Just ask and I will send it to you. Sorry but sometimes the way we write things aren't the same as we mean them. I was just telling someone on the phone a few minutes ago how much I enjoy some of the things you have brought up about the past that I didn't know. Like him or hate him Bob Gilbert passed a lot of hidden knowledge about the past regarding Maryville and the other schools before he came closed off and shut the world out of his life before passing away.

Yep, I know his step-son.

Bob invited me to Green Meadows when he had all the living members of the Maryville-Alcoa Twins of 1951 come back for a reunion. I did meet Mr. Hamil who was one of two coaches from the very first Friendsville Football team in 1954. I really think because no one took an interest in that really pizzed the man off and he quit his radio show the following week he started 30 years ago and just shut down contact from anyone.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
