JSamson7 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I have my opinion of who would be the best team of all time, but I want to get the board's opinion before I shoot opinion's down with my answer... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Tennessee had any other national champions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youthsportsPIX Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Sure have. Oak Ridge was voted in the polls as best team in America in 1958. Brentwood Academy has finished in the Top 10 of the National Sports News Service Top 25 final rankings three times: 1988 (#8), 1995 (#8), and 1996 (#3). Also Brentwood Academy has finished in the Top 10 of the USA Today Super 25 three times: 1988 (#8), 1995 (#6), and 1996 (#7). BA could be mentioned in this discussion for sure. One of there teams has to be in the top 3 of the best teams in history of Tennessee high school football. BA Football has a strong history. State championship in Class A competition after only four years of varsity play in 1974 State football championships in Class 2A in 1980, 1981, 1982, 1987, 1988, 1991 State football championship in Class 5A in 1995 and 1996 State football championship in Division II in 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That team was LOADED & beat Brentwood Academy in the SC game... BTW - Before there were playoffs, Maryville's 1964 team was virtually unscored on & rated one of the top teams in the nation that year as well.

Private school? I can't put a private school up there with public schools. Little different in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanson71 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I think the 2004 Riverdale team could possibly be on this list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlimbaugh Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) I think the 2004 Riverdale team could possibly be on this list... The 1994 Riverdale team was probably the best one we have had. It was loaded. The finished 9th in the USA Today Top 25 http://www.usatoday.com/sports/preps/football/year-by-year-rankings.htm?loc=interstitialskip (The 2004 team was pretty darn good, finished 15th in last USA Today poll that year) Here is more information: http://www.riverdalewarriors.com/football/tradition/59/93-1994-season-stats-and-news.html QB Corey Carney had a great career at Samford. WR/DB Fernando Bryant starred at Alabama and had a long career in the NFL OL David Coppeans started on the offensive line for Vanderbilt RB Alvin Duke had 37 rushing TDs and 41 total TDs his senior season and starred at Vanderbilt, including running a punt back for a touchdown against Alabama. FB Marcus Smith may have been the best fullback to ever play at Riverdale, he was a man playing against boys. WR/DB Gerald Griffin and TE/LB Antron Peebles went on to play at Tennessee. Peebles may have been the most imposing player Riverdale has ever had. He was amazing in high school. QB/DB Eric Locke got a lot of playing time at QB, even though this was his freshman year. LB Larry Floyd went on to play at TSU. LB Kevin Litchford was great. RB Johnta Martin was a great running back, as was RB Ron Smith Schedule: Hillsboro w 38-7 Cookeville w 45-0 Gallatin w 24-7 Warren County w 38-0 Christian County, Ky w 76-3 Beech w 48-0 Hendersonville w 45-14 Mt. Juliet w 53-7 Lebanon w 52-3 Oakland w 49-0 ------------------------- Chattanooga-Baylor w 49-0 Dobyns-Bennett w 28-0 Science Hill w 40-0 Oak Ridge w 21-7 Germantown w 14-10 - a great game! Duke made a great run to win it. They averaged 41.3 pts per game and allowed 3.9 points per game. The most amazing stat? They punted twice for the entire season. 15 games - 2 punts...
