I'm sure neither Blount County or Maryville saw an explosion to the population 45 years later from a factory that would come into town having to draw outsiders to come in for a job because the original people that live here can't pass a pee in a cup test.  20 years ago I built 12 houses in a subdivision that are walking distance to William Blount High School and I remember saying back then if this continues the city lines could end up at the doorsteps of that school and people just laughed thinking i was crazy, guess who's laughing now. William Blount has outlived its useful life and no need to keep pouring good dollars chasing bad one's passing the buck on down the line to another group of leadership that makes the problem even worse for them. The Counties long term growth plan is simple, live to see another day.

What does any of that have to do with high school football? And what do you mean by outliving its usefulness? Are you defining usefulness purely by success in high school football? Does academic success and success in other sports not matter?

Usefulness means condition of school building. Lets just move over to William Blounts thread and carry forward with this friendly conversation.

The problem with Jeff Co runs deep. It starts with a bunch of soft kids and parents. The AD is horrible. Only got the job because he was BFF with former principal. The new principal played OL under Meadows and is a football guy. I hope he makes a change at AD and HC for football. No reason a school that big only has 45 players

The same exact situation with a lot of other big schools, the bigger you are and spread out from here to TimBukTo it seems the harder it is to have a winning football team. Very few schools like this are even competitive with others. large schools with kids within close range of the school have an edge and something the TSSAA needs to think about. It's never been a fair cut for a lot of schools. Very surprised your program has totally fell into a coma on Spencer's watch.

Being “spread out” has nothing to do with anything. We’re as rural as it gets and we’ve been one of the most successful programs in 5A for over a decade (and 4A for a few years before that).

It’s the access to resources (talent and funding) that drive a program’s fortunes. The majority of those schools that are rich in both tend to be concentrated in suburbs, but there are several rural and urban exceptions. 

It sounds like Jefferson Co can’t get the politics out of the way, and that’s something that will kill any program, rural, suburban, or anywhere. Small towns do seem to be more susceptible to that ailment though I’ll admit.

How many of the Maryville football players are actually zoned for William Blount or Heritage?  

All of them. Does that fit you agenda, cbg? Serious question......what is going on at Catholic with all that talent and not much to show for it? Now that they are not playing down, what are your expectations moving forward?

    • 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.
