Is there not enough Maryville people on the School board who can stop this? I am no Alcoa fan by any means but I will say this. I guarantee you the Bledsoe,Marsh,Tyson,Warren,Kellog and Suddereth families wouldn't allow outsiders to take control of Alcoa High School.

Colton Faust played a lot as a freshman. I look for Julius Douglas to do well. I would love to have seen Thomas Manu stay at Maryville and play receiver. What has hurt Maryville the last 2 years is not having those outstanding skill players at WR and DB. There has been no AJ Davis or Kelby Brock type receiver at Maryville the last few years.

I see your point on the timing of when you play Alcoa. I did not think West would reload after winning it the first time and they did. A three peat is hard for sure but until they stop it hard to pick against them. I was told they had 107 returning players(rising soph-SR) from at their banquet

He knew had bad HVA was and did not want to go to a poverty program

Old Pirate drifted by practice last week with helmet & shoulder pads, is there in live scrimmaging scheduled this spring? Gots to be a HEEP youth with peach fuzz out there. YepReconSo

If that is the case they didn't waste any time. Their position opened after Chester and south gibson. Is Chester going to get a coach? It has been while for them.

Yes, its definitely a time you will get to see everybody on the team get some reps while the coaches are trying to evaluate what they have. It gets intense even though it should not be about wins and losses, but parents and kids are naturally competitive.

Thx to whoever oiled the squeaky wheels - and thx to OR for accommodating. Problem solved.

You didn't spell Greeneville and Elizabethton correctly in your sentence. 4A has the best teams in Upper East TN. Carter County All-Stars and Greene County All-Stars is the Superbowl now.

Yeah, but if he goes to Science Hill they are guaranteed at least a win over Kingsport and that's basically the NET Superbowl

I expect Sevier County might be pretty good, perhaps Mo West as well. But I don't see either of them getting out of round 2. The rest of the region gets smoked in round 1. Except for those once-in-a-blue-moon anomaly years the NET big schools are pretty much the same every season.

You're right. Thanks!

Wanted to see if all of you would lift up Kyle James family in prayer. Kyle was one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of Soddy Daisy and as some of you know he lost his house a few weeks ago and now his family and friends mourns his passing. Not sure if any of you were around in early 2000’s when Kyle was wrestling at Soddy, but he was a 3 time state champ and a Fargo AA along with going to Colorado to train to make the Olympic team. That goal was never reached due to medical issues, but he was an amazing wrestler and his family is as good as gold. If you were around at that time and have any pictures of Kyle, please go onto Alexy Winesburgh FB page and post. Thanks, Doug Benton

My opinion the 8 teams will be- Greenback, Wartburg, Gordonsville, Jo Byrns, Eagleville, Bruceton, Dresden, and South Fulton. Gordonsviile is probably the favorite but I wont say it will be an easy road. With the right draw any of the 8 could win it.

I understand Gibson Co. will be announced tomorrow with a familiar name. Not sure about So. Gibson.

A huge addition to the staff today! Former Hardin Valley legend and Richmond College running back Aaron Dykes was announced as the running backs coach. Rushed for over 3,000 yards at HVA, with 35 total touchdowns. I loved watching in Hardin Valley. I can’t believe he’s at Bearden now. I know he was trying to get a HVA job, I don’t know what happened there and how he ended up at Bearden, but I'm glad he’s here and believe he will be teaching art class as well! What a good get for the staff!!

Thoughts? Gordonsville won it last year with a sophomore pitcher and returned almost everybody. Can anyone beat them?

I was kind of surprised to read this. I thought the general concision was most programs are going back to natural grass. Personally, I have never liked turf. I see the arguments on both side for or against it. I just never liked them. Also, I did not know there as an impaction test that these fields had to pass. Good stuff OP

Still quite to this point.

I'll check. TSSAA still has the game listed.

My understanding is that Daniel Boone and Elizabethton will not play each other this year and both have posted a "need game" on tssaa bulletin board for the week they were previously scheduled. You can verify this at your convenience. Tx.

I guess all the action in this thread from last year graduated.

go from 6/5 to 7/4 if he's lucky? hardly an upgrade.

I heard he’s going to Science Hill instead.
