You just keep getting darker and darker 91 . We used to be able to cut up with you but you have let anger and resentment change you totally . Not everyone from Maryville and Alcoa hates you or your school . Actually no one I know does . I do miss the old 91 that had a sense of humor

I didn’t think they would win by that much. Congrats to McConnell for beating a team he rode till the talent was gone

Voting gets very political. Sometimes adults can act like children. I'll leave it at that.

Not looking so STUPID today am I? Tough schedule paid off last night for the Toppers. I knew if we didn't turn the ball over we could beat DB. Athlete for Athlete they cant match up!!!!! We still have to take care of business next week with a very dangerous Bearden team. Region 1 & 2 playoff teams are very equal except Maryville. I have enjoyed all the humor this week with all the DB fans believing they could play with Maryville. What a Joke.

That happens more often than not. Most of the high profile examples of schools forfeiting wins in recent memory have come after TSSAA initially clearing the player. Most of the time there's a "detail" left out of the original assessment that only comes to light when whomever has an agenda against the school chooses to bring it forward... usually beyond the point of no return for their season. This could be avoided with a standard transfer form containing ALL the parameters allowing the transfer to be eligible to compete, and either a statute of limitation for reporting, or a limitation of forfeitures. If there were a three game forfeiture limitation, this would have come to light much quicker. In my opinion it's not much better to hold back information in order to better your own situation than to play an ineligible player. Just another example of TSSAA being lazy concerning their duties. If fairness is their main objective, they should do more on the front end to protect the innocent players from suffering from the actions/decisions of a few.

Same account also accused more than 1 team of playing dirty. That account does a better job at firing up the opposing team than their coach would

Outstanding!

Hate it for the players. However, if you have to live within the bus routes, there is a lot of players in open zoned counties that could be ineligible. Also, like someone else said, some from Fayetteville said weeks ago that TSSAA investigated and cleared the player. If that's the case, the TSSAA has some explaining to do. What's the chance of an appeal?

So that region is not too strong (other than Alcoa), huh!

Playoff Nazi. No playoffs for you! Next!

alcoa outscored entire region 304-0. Dont know if that's ever been done before!

I'm on vacation until Monday. I'll pick up your slack until then.

Well said, I mean it’s not that we don’t have the ability to run the ball we do. However, we had ball security issues(as I’m sure a lot of teams did last night) and if ya can’t pass and your fumbling the ball around you can’t score and that’s what happened. Say it’s a clear night, do we fumble 7-8 times like we did, Absolutely not. Do we have the ability to throw and complete passes, yes. Facts are it would’ve been a totally different ball game. If both teams make it that far, everyone will see.

I tend to agree a bit. Teams that pass alot and with spcecial teams the weather can play a factor. It's is however good to always have a backup plan. Our first game with Clinton thia year the rain pouring and we only came out with 26-0 but again we were criticized by many saying we were not good enough. It pays to mount a good running game especially to be ready for play-off weather. And we too have fallen victim to inclement weather in past years.

Could it be....sure. But I'm guessing PC is just worried about who is next. Can't look ahead.

I think the boys will come out fighting on Friday night, because they know what is on the line!

I think Upperman will soon be in 4A. The school just keeps growing. Freshman class has over 300 in it. IMO this wouldn’t be a bad thing getting away from the juggernaut aka Alcoa. While you have some good teams in 4A none are like Alcoa year in and year out.

In the early 70’s one of the best running backs in the County lived in the City of Maryville and the head coach for the county school picked him up for school everyday so he could go to a small school. Maryville coaches came to him and said we can make you play for us and he said if you do I won’t play. They left him alone and he went on to be All State and play in college. His grandson suits up for Maryville now but no one in the county was complaining when he was scoring all those td’s for them but he is considered a traitor now that his grandson didn’t follow in his footsteps. Maryville and Alcoa are not the evil empire destroying the county one player at a time.

No doubt!LOL

Heck you know I'm a former Greeneville player and a Devil through and through but I don't even know if I would classify Greeneville or Betsy to be true killers this year. Greeneville has the talent but make too many mistakes and play calling has been confusing at times to say the least. Betsy about lost to South last night who shouldn't have been on the field with them. I believe that the top of 3a and 4a would fair just fine with each other but over all outside of the top 10 in 3a it drops off quite a bit were 4a and 5a in my opinion just has more depth

We can watch it on Diamondclear

They tried to be sneaky and schedule a team that is known to be in a rebuilding stage and a cinderalla state champ that everyone knew would be a drop off after 2017 and 2018. That way they can say the beat the Perennial power Gordy and defending state champs Whitwell later on without really risking much.

Not my son but my son does train with Kodiak regularly and I enjoy the conversation with Kodiak's dad Ben during those times. Good dude and he would never publicize his kids name, ever. Also not the kind of guy, as you are, who throws out snide comments. I'm just a long time lurker. I'll DM you my name if your interested. I have nothing to hide. That seventh place finish at NHSCA is more than respectable. Watch his matches in that tournament on Flo. If you are not impressed well then I would assume your just biased. Anyways he turned a corner after the Braxton Mann (second at 126 last year and lost to Palmer) match right around January of 2019. Looked very sharp from there out. He will and is going to beat a bunch of kids in this state with well known last names this year if he gets the chance. Perhaps I threw his name out too early but he is impressive and I think he proves it this year.

I agree but the puter don't take into account the mindset of the teenage boy lol

Good luck!! I hope those kids get a chance to finish what they started!

Wow, great win!

3a is stronger and have more athletes the 4a.

Let's get it!!!

I have probably done this too at some point, but I am still always amazed when we mention the weather being a factor in a game.... as if it only rains on one team and not the other.

I tried but it mixed with vomit

Our strength of schedule will pick up when we beat yalls butts!

Blosser.. He quit on the team around game 3 or 4 this year.

These kind of games are exciting. Marshall Co will be tough to beat imo

Yet they chose not to move the game, it's not like the weather was a complete suprise to them . A significant part of PC's offense is throwing the ball. Rarely Is the weather in the playoffs going to be ideal so if you can't adapt now, it doesn't bode well for a team later

Something ain't jiving.

No doubt!

It was pouring rain the whole game. Sticking with the run is what you do in that situation. Especially when you have a back averaging 8 yards a carry like you guys have.

They would dominate there also. Maybe not quite as much as they do in 3A.

Time to move to 4A after next season

There was a situation that made most folks in the stands laugh though, well two actually. I tell the one ... Germantown's RB broke a rare long run on our defense. Bryson Eason ran him down, and instead of tackling him, he just reached in and took the ball from him, just as pretty as you please, and started running the other way. The thievery was so smooth, the whole crowd was fooled as to what happened, but you could tell he was LOL as he was running down field . After he ran for about 50 yards, we all laughed in the stands I guess you had to be there. LOL!

It will be Pearl and Alcoa for the championship this year and PC is the real deal. I can’t wait to see it

But hey at least Germantown has a really good freshmen team smh

You’re welcome

What I'm hearing now (not confirmed by an official yet) is TSSAA had already reviewed and cleared the player in question. Twice?

lol , and it says "How bout them maryville rebels" right there on my post too .... Ya this is one bright Troll ! LOL

I am Maryville Bozo , I just happen to like my DB fellers because my Coach , Ted Wilson , went on to be an Indian .... btw , congrats on not losing tonight ... I'm sure that Bye Week gave you all you could handle .

Maybe because someone with something to gain sits on the evidence until the most opportune time. That may not be the case here, but it does happen.

The ineligible player didn't play the last 2 weeks. Why? Did Fayetteville finally get word on this matter or was the player hobbled by the injury he suffered in the first game against Jasper?

I agree. Except the go Bucs part!!

Um.…..I'm not taking up for anybody but it was raining in Kingsport, not a monsoon by any stretch. And Science Hill was playing on the same field. Before the season started I said DB might win two games, so they were a lot better than I thought. But their also not as good as everybody else was thinking. Science Hill is not that good either. I said if DB runs into a team with a good offensive line and a good QB they would be in trouble. The only pass defense DB has is the pass rush. They can't cover receivers. Haven't been able to cover receivers for 30 years. DB has 11 penalties for 100 yards tonight. Three of those penalties accounted for 14 Science Hill points. DB is not a top 10 team. Next week won't be pretty.
