Oakland[/url'>' date='Dec 5 2004 - 09:28 AM']if your going just for 1 year, the 1994 riverdale team was as good as any. i think they ended up having 5 or 6 guys that went D-1

The 1994 Riverdale team went 15-0 outscoring their opponents 620-58. Their defense scored more points than the other 15 team's offenses combined. Their tailback won Mr. Football while rushing for over 2,000 yards and over 40 TDs. Their backup QB later went on to win 2 Mr. Football awards and one other guy was a finalist. 2 guys were All-Americans. This team had 12 guys that would go on to play in college with 6 of them playing in D-1, all of them in the SEC. Another guy went on to be a four year starter in the SEC and an NFL first round draft pick. He started as a rookie and is still playing ball.

 

 

If you ask me, these accomplishmenst are impressive. The 1994 team also had around 10 or 11 guys earn all area.

The best team I can remember seeing is the the 70-72 TN high from Bristol...They were like 36-1 with two state titles and one National title, Then there were only three divisions A AA AAA. They were AAA back then..I think they had like 8-9 players go to Div.1 collage programs off that team.

2004 Riverdale squad has to be on up there, they have been totally dominate all year long. I saw them last night and it looked like they could give small college teams fits.

I would have to any of the riverdale state title teams. 94 was just great 6 or 7 goin big time. The 97 team If it wasn't for Eric Locke playin with the flu they would have been undefeated also, and plus they were also loaded with talent. The 2001 team two Mr. Footballs and great in every phase of the game, the defense only let up an average of 7 a game to the offense averaging 35. The 2004 team what is there to say they dominated all season. I talked to one of the coachs last year after the season and told him that ya'll win state and do it easily next season. Ya'll may disagree with me but thats OK its just my opinion.

USA Today and several other publications recognized the 1973 Baylor team as number one in the nation. What other Tennessee team has been recognized at year end as number 1?

I'm not scared to say it, 2004 Riverdale Team.

Lots of speculation last night on the TV about the 2004 season and the 1994 Riverdale team. Some were saying this years team was better some were saying 94'. I saw both of them and I would have to still say that the 94' team was better. This years team was very close but 94' was incredible.

 

My reasoning is that the 94' schedule was a lot tougher than this past years. Just my opinion.
