Maryville is scared of no one.Maryville can compete with any team in the state of Tennessee. Maryville may not beat every team but they can hold their own.

Ron, where have you been buddy?!!! I've been holding the 4A arguement up all by myself. Ron's right girls. Maryville is scared of no one. There are many good reasons why we stay at 4A. Not one of them is because we're scared, believe me.

 

The biggest resaon is what I've been saying all along. There's better competition in 4A. We see what 5A holds as talent all the time. We play 5A schools often. Bigger is not better guys. Look at Farragut. A huge school. When's the last time they won or even got close to a state championship? Same for William Blount, Heritage, Bearden, Sevier County (which got beat by KARNS!) and the list goes on and one. For every good school in 5A, there's 5 average to below average programs.

I think 4A in East Tennessee and West Tennessee is just as good as 5A is. Where 5A is so much better is in Middle Tennessee. Middle Tennessee is where the best high school football is played period. I have a nephew who played at Centennial High School in Franklin. I saw the teams he had to play against.

 

 

I get tired of people saying Maryville is too gutless to play 5A. I know the Maryville administration didn't want Maryville to move up because of travel. I wanted Maryville to move up myself.

I'd be fine with the move, as I think we fit in well to the competition base. Who's division would we be in? It does seem there are much better 5A teams in the interior of the state. The problem is we'd be right where we are now, I think. Playing the likes of Heritage, WB, Sevier County, Farragut, Bearden, etc. Correct me please if I'm wrong.

Maryville would be more than likely playing Oak Ridge,FarragutWB,Heritage,Ooltawah,Soddy Daisy,McMinn County if they went to 5A.

 

They also could get put in the region with Dobyns Bennett,Jeff County,Science Hill,Karns,Sevier County,Campbell County and Bearden.

More competition in the first scenario....too bad we don't get to choose. Tell me, because I've heard conflicting reports. Who won the Oak Ridge scrimmage this pre-season?

 

Ron, it would be great to meet you after we've had so many good convos. hopefully we can do that at one of the next games.

Was it bad? It couldn't have been bad...you don't think that was GQ testing the 5A waters, do you?

 

Cool man, we have to hook that up then. Dad and I usually sit about 3 rows from the top, to the left of the press box (looking up at the box) at Skeeter Field. Right around the 30 yard line almost always. I need to introduce you to Dad too, becasue he is also a huge fan of football in general and Maryville definitely.

It wasn't real bad but OR definately outplayed Maryville. Maryville was without Ryan Tallent and Adrian Baker. But! OR whipped Maryville up front in that scrimmage.

 

 

This was the 1st time since 1999 that Oak Ridge beat Maryville in a srimmage. In 1999 Oak Ridge went 12-0 until Sevier County upset them in the playoffs. Sevier County went onto win the state title. That 99 OR team had a lot of speed in the backfield. This years OR team is more physical.

 

In 2001 and 2002 Maryville drilled Oak Ridge in scrimages. Those were 2 great Maryville teams also.

    • 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.
