The football field at Powell is as good as any one would play on. The stadium is small, and is quite old. It is on the list for replacement by Knox County, and could be replaced within the next couple of years. The current stadium seats only about 2,500, but for games with Halls and Karns last season, about twice that many people were in the house. If you don't get there a good hour before gametime, you don't get a seat.

 

The baseball facility is good, with the exception that the field is built in a flood plane on the banks of Beaver Creek. The field itself was completely under water during the flooding back in Feburary of this past year, and as a result was quite soft all season long. Even so, it is as good a facility as most in the district. You might be surprised to know that Campbell County has the best baseball facility in the district.

I agree seating is an issue at Powell, even though i have always gotten there early enough to get a seat when Maryville goes over there. not sure if they have a visitors dressing room either. seems like Maryville goes down a hill or stairs to another adjoining field before the game and at halftime. But at the same time I like the atmosphere at Powell. Great fan support, people cooking out, and the fans are real polite there. More seating would be great but i would work hard to keep the same setting. Clark Duncan is a class act and runs a good program.

I agree mhs.

 

I like the pregame atmosphere at Powell. I watched them play Clinton when they played the thursday before the Knox Central vs Maryville game.I like watching the Rebels play there. I like it when the players run on the field with the smoke and the PA system playing Guns n Roses song "Welcome to the Jungle"

Visiting teams have the option of using the PE locker room in the gym at Powell. Some do, and some don't. Nomally, it depends on how far the visiting teams has to travel, and what the weather conditions are.

 

MHS - The "new" stadium will be built on the site of the current facility. The current stands will be torn down and replaced with a larger and more contemporary design. The playing surface will stay as is.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
