  1. 1. Region 4AA Tournament

At halftime Mater Dei leads 33-32. Mater Dei star soph is being held in check yet their 4yr starter pg already has 17. For BA the scoring is pretty even. Wright has already thrown it down 3 times. BA is playing well and knows they can win now. Anything is possible this second half.

Where are you getting your updates? Internet or contact at the game?

 

This would be a big win for Tennessee.

Ensworth will need them:

 

2/3/05:    MBA 45, Ensworth 39 (8th grade game)

2/3/05:    MBA 51, Ensworth 27 (7th grade game)

1/31/05:  MBA 34, Ensworth 21 (freshman game)

1/21/05:  MBA 50, Ensworth 23 (7th grade game)

12/14/04: MBA 27, Ensworth 14 (freshman game)

 

Whether MBA improves in varsity hoops or not is debatable, but an MBA kid leaving for Ensworth is much less likely than an Ensworth kid leaving for MBA.  Maybe the non-MBA and non-Ensworth kids may make a difference, but seeing that neither school has filled its next freshman class yet, I do not see how EHS is "getting most of the good players".

 

But, I digress as well.

I wasn't very clear on my side note. When I said "getting most of the good players", I meant currently during admissions. I realize that Ensworth's freshmen class would not affect this years varsity that much. I don't know if you are aware of the their 6th grade team, but it is a power house and has crushed everyone including BA. These kids would be shoe-ins to MBA in the past - but not now. Their 8th grade team is very good, as well, but so is MBA's. They have 2 players on that 8th grade team better than anyone on MBA or BA's team. They may or may not have gone to MBA if Ensworth was not around. I don't know for sure. But Ricky landed them for the Tigers.

Fair enough. Ensworth will be a factor in many sports, but it will take a few years.

 

Anybody have an update on the BA game?

Just doing a little research on Mater Dei as I wait for an update, check out this team's credentials and look at the size of their basketball staff, 13 people in all!

 

The 2003-04 CIF semifinalist Monarchs, under the guidance of Coach Gary McKnight, have enjoyed tremendous academic and athletic success over the past 22 years. Coach McKnight has led the Monarchs to five state championships, 17 CIF championships, 21 league championships, and an overall record of 663-62. The Monarchs average over 30 wins a season. Coach McKnight is the winningest coach in Orange County boys' basketball history. In addition to the team success, nine players have been named CIF Player of the Year and many more have gone onto successful college careers.

 

The boys' basketball program offers five teams.

Varsity

Gary McKnight – Head Coach

Bob Servin – Associate Head Coach

Jason Quinn '90 – Assistant Coach

Sean Stevenson – Assistant Coach

Chris Abeyta – Assistant Coach

 

Junior Varsity

Jack Tuz – Co-head Coach

Ryan Barintina – Co-head Coach

Carl Smith – Assistant Coach

Ben Villa – Assistant Coach

 

Sophomore

Mike Garcia – Head Coach

 

Freshman (three teams offered)

Bob Thrall – Head Coach

Steve Scoggin '00

    • 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.
