Close the open zone! Close the open zone! There is no reason why a quarterfinal game should look like this one against Bradley. The competition level is no where near the same, it is clear that the Reb squad is much more talented. They are having an inside zone clinic out there. Maryville fans are afraid of closing that open zone and be exposed for what they really are. The talent level in all of blount county would finally find equilibrium once again once that loophole is closed. I already know you Maryville fans don't want any athletes falling into Hammondtree's hands because the truth would finally be revealed.

I don't understand all the shade being thrown at Coach Jones. He's a good coach about to take a turn with the program. What's wrong with winning 8 games a year? Tennesse is a 8 win program is it not? this isn't 98 and Peyton Manning is retired. times have changed. I'm proud of Butch Jones and his boys obviously trust him enough to fight for him. If its good enough for them its good enough for me.

I like West in this one. I have it on good sources that they're getting healthy and are going to put it all together this Friday. This one will be a defensive battle for sure. Lamar Brown is a heck of a coach and he's priming them up for a big one. I love me some 5a football.

Brother I aint gone to lie. I may have more than one

Who started the state championship roll? Who hired GQ? Let's be honest here. Maryville fans now were born on third thinking they hit a triple.

Brainwashed? You are as ridiculous as your handle makes you seem. Atleast those former rebs had the gumption to step out of the corrupt Maryville city machine to help build a winning program instead of riding the coattails of Hammondtree.

Had it not been for the Bearden defense that scoreboard would have leaned sideways. CoachT aside all those boys played their hearts out for the love of the game. That should be something everybody on here can get behind. If the DC at Beerden wants to hype his boys up in the public let him. That's the sign of a coach who believes in his young men there's nothin misleading about that at all. He believes in his players and right now is probably thinking he'd take those guys to play anybody regardless of a final score or box numbers. What's wrong with a former Maryville qb and lb coaching football at a different school? Yall have me wondering if Maryville football is a cult instead of a football program. Is D hunt the head coach or Charles Manson. Yall were talking earlier about stealing young men and all but I didn't know it was like that. If those two gentlemen want to coach some young men up at a Bearden let them have at it don't be sour after your team won the game handily. I thought yall could win gallantly but I guess I was wrong. It's not brainwarshing if the former Maryville lb can hire a guy to help out its giving the former qb a chance to shape young men. To this tenessee football fan yall seem like some sour grapes with an axe to grind. It's okay though yall cheating red rebels have fun with your little run in the playoffs give a shout on this board when Oakland gets a piece of yall in a few weeks. For the supposed great culture at Merville yall can get awful salty even after a win? I'd hate to see yall after a loss.

I hope you're not referencing me. PP runs with Layne's crowd and I am no fan of his. Layne's lackluster defense lost Joel Helton his job and Scott Cummings had to pull his coaching career out of the grave at Knox West. I'm a big Harig and Brown fan when it comes to Knox West. Layne has been working on his license for 20 years he's the little engine that never could.

Is it the coaching or is it not? Youins can't have it both ways. All of those boys are not zoned for Merville. Hammondtree is doing all he can to keep athletes in the Heritage zone but they are getting poached. If the coaches are so great why are yall so scared for a closed zone?

Close the open zone then refund the tuition paid and let's see how top notch the coaching is. I have on good information that a young man lived in the neighborhood across from Bear kountry but went to Maryville High. Explain that one.

Im sorry I hadn't realized that there were MPD detectives on this thread to school me on the intricacies of theft. Talking about stealing kids to win games. I know a Bluecross championship is the most coveted achievement in the state but come on yall. This just proves my point about morally corrupt. Red Rebel fans have to criticise precision of language because they know they can't defend the recruiting they do. Im surprised they haven't hired Kelvin Lane yet. He could out recruit Bear Bryant and Nick Saban at the same senior midget football game.

I'll throw my hat into the ring on this one. If I wuz to describe blount county football to somebody from anchorage alaska I would say this, CHAMPIONSHIP RICH yet MORALLY BANKRUPT. They steal any talent at all from not only neighboring schools such as Willie and Heritage and from Knox county. GQ was shivering in his red rebel boots and hauled tail to Furman alsmost just as soon as Hammondtree returned from the rolling landscape of Georgia to coach at Heritage. Playing high school ball is all about represnting your community and these jokers in blount county ruint it for everybody. The red rebels hide behind that open zone tuition fee mumbo jumbo. I'll go head and call it what it is good ole fashion plain as day CHEATING. Sad!

My apologies. I hadn't realized. That colt .45 kicked in a little early today. I was sitting here thinking Maryville was a public school. They raise that tuition any more and they may have to start playing the private schools.

The only thing that makes murvul special is that open zone and tuition fee that your dog could pay if he wanted to play there. I'll go head and make a prediction. Dawgs by a field goal.
