No I am not suprized! I am still asking why WB dropped Alcoa, a Blount county rivalry game, and picked up a game four hours away. What message does this tell the players at William Blount? You are not capable of beating a lower classed team?
I was at a game several years ago when William Blount beat Maryville. What a game, went down to the last play for a win, one game I will never forget! And I would also have to believe ever WB player will never forget it either. The last two years William Blount has had the players, not only good enough to beat Maryville, but easily talented enough to compete in the state playoffs!!!!!
Lets face it, dropping Maryville would be the wrong message to our players. Not to mention a Blount county rivalry game and money game.
A long time ago I learned a valuable lesson in athletics, if you want to get better play the best!!!
