Well ain't that something, punched in the face and Maryville answers quickly.

White, brown, black, purple, orange, football is all the same game. Lets leave the color issue out of this

You not knowing what it means just shows how much of a gdi you really are. Funny little gdi...needing work is for gdis, my job is inherited, TFM.

Wow you're just as ignorant as I thought by thinking being called a GEED is ghetto...I'd rather you come watch some BIG BOY football than not 'waste your time and money.' Please, take a front seat and also let my 'ghettoness' override whatever education you may or may not have, GEED. I'll put it to you like this District 7 = SEC District 4 = MWC/Wac Stars, let me know when those new Chik-fil-A commercials come out

Let me get this right...Mathers had more rushing yards and TDs against better competition statistically AND is a Junior...but didn't win? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....sometimes you just have to call a SPADE a SPADE. Good luck next year Mathers, here's to a healthy season and hopefully an equal or better one.

Just when Maryville thought they had class? Maryville winning football state titles not regarded in the best public school classification, NF. Smyrna winning their football state titles in the highest public school classification back-to-back, TFM. Maryville is the Boise State of Tennessee H.S. football, happy to be there, but ready to be sent back to their place. The only thing Maryville is missing is "smurf turf," TFM. Smyrna once played Maryville, then continued to play real public schools, TFM. Smyrna doesn't have to play in a lower classification to win state championships, TFM. Smyrna hazing Maryville in the state championship game, TFM. If you don't know TFM...you're a GEED. All joking aside, I just can't help but remember last year White Station reversing fields and the Maryville players being dumb-founded. I guarantee you this is the MOST athletic team you will have seen all year. I guarantee you this is the most STINGY and FAST defense you will have seen all year. The Smyrna offense WILL score pounding the ball in the end zone. Maryville is a great team, no doubt, but having to face adversity at the hands of a team MUCH more athletic, deeper, more athletic team will be an interesting test. The Bulldogs MUST be favors looking at who they've beaten and played, but not by much to the common eye. Coaching can only get you so far. White Station's players last year weren't making a donkey out of GQ, but rather the players chasing White Stations skill position players all over the field. KEY WORD CHASING. I'm sorry, but for me this will not be close. Maryville just does not want it as bad as the Smyrna Bulldogs do and that's the honest truth. There' something special about Smyrna in the state championship game, they're 2-0. Undefeated. Unbeaten. Clutch. I just don't think a team like Maryville has the chance to beat them. All of you Maryville posters keep saying 'The offense gets what the defense gives.' While that sounds great in THEORY, you need to have an offensive identity in the end. I'll tell you guys right now what Maryville will do, play field position and pray Smyrna does not get a short field. Then on offense they will throw the ball probably 70-30 because the secondary of Smyrna is considered the 'soft spot'. 2 turnovers later due to rushed throws and not being able to withstand the pass rush, GQ will throw some trickery that will swing momentum one way or another. Either way, Smyrna will have the chance to throw the knock-out punch and probably will with #5 breaking a long run down the sideline or Mr. Flemming doing it in place of him. State predictions: Smyrna: 225+yards rushing 120+yards passing Around 20 first downs 1 Turnover 2 Takeways Maryville: 80> yards rushing 150> yards passing 12 first downs 2 INTS 1 Takeaway Score Prediction: Smyrna - 31 Maryville - 20 (2 FG's for that Mr Football Kicker) Good luck at the game both teams, may the best team win.

I just hope lil ol' smyrna can hang in there against this legendary, spectacular, rich in tradition power house that is MARYVILLE. These boys took it to riverdale last year with their WORST team since like 2000. smyrna just has a banged up starting running back and is missing a starting LB, probably just going to be another BLOWOUT against the 2nd WORST MARYVILLE team since 2000. Geez bulldogs, should have just laid down and forfeited already...smyrna faithful, alumni, students, don't even bother going to the game. The RIGOROUS, RIDICULOUSLY TOUGH (yet somehow underrated) schedule MARYVILLE has played has left them WAY more prepared than the little ol lavergnes smyrna has played. I pray for you bulldogs... ALL HAIL THE MARYVILLE REBELS Lord knows they are the CHOSEN ONES and come to CoachT for motivation! If anyone feels gracious enough to give a little hope to the bulldogs of smyrna please do! MARYVILLE - 59 smyrna - 2 (Safety at the end of the game given by MARYVILLE) EAST TENNESSEE FOOTBALL REIGNS SUPREME...AGAIN!

Anyone have a recap or some stats from the game?

This about sums it up...good luck Bulldogs, leave it all on the field.

So funny to me that Maryville (who has had great success in 4A) is comparing themselves to the only 5A back-to-back public school champions...but hey obviously East Tennessee is great at football, no denying that. Just really funny how you have yet to win with the big boys, yet have the biggest mouth....White Station took it to you guys last year, be honest, Smyrna has yet to lose in a State Championship, to go along with the rest of District 7 who has lost what...1 state championship game?

Not here to start rumors but apparently his high school career may be over due to an injury. Really a shame I would love to see #45 and #5 out there for these last few games if they make it through. Smyrna can do it with out them, just going to be a lot harder.

Really a shame for Smyrna. Ever since 6th grade I can remember #5 and #45 being close buddies and studs on the football team. They went through Middle School dominating competition. I even recall talking to them their Freshmen year how they used to talk to each other on the field during kick offs debating "who would take this one back to the house." #5 was as lucky to get his Middle School jersey retired during his Freshmen year of High School ball. There was always a silent debate whether who had more impact in the High School game, I will not touch that argument. I've seen both players countless times make plays that were jaw dropping and have amazing games (see #5's performance as a True Freshmen vs Independence 5A State Championship.) But somehow, it seems like it will be a disappointment. #5 is questionable while #45 is doubtful, it's really a shame they will not get to lead their own team to a chance for a championship. With that being said, I think (as much as it pains me to say being a Smyrna Alumni), this is it...I think this is where my last ties to SHS leave the school ringless. Whitehaven seems to be playing well, they had a pretty good season last year, they have Smyrna on the 3 hour bus ride (probably 4 the way school buses are), and more importantly Smyrna's Mr. Football Lineman is out, along with their Pitt commitment. Now I know Smyrna is a deep team, at HB they showed that, at WR they have some great athletes, TE is a very underrated position for the Bulldogs, and of course both lines and the defense are fairly deep. I just think there is too much going against the Bulldogs. Not to mention the fact if they get past this game who they'll most likely be playing. I wish emotions could carry you 2 more games, I wish players never had to miss games, but it just seems like everything is going right for Whitehaven. Final Score: Whitehaven - 17 Smyrna - 13 Hoping I'm wrong... ALSO: Nice little video of Smyrna vs Blackman last Friday Smyrna is a Balanced team more tendency to run than pass. A mobile quarterback who throws the deep ball well. What about Whitehaven? Any video/high lights on them? Key players to watch for? D1 recruits?

2p, if you knew the situations maybe you'd understand. I guess Shad's daughters have no reason to bail on their school have no reason either?

Please excuse my comments earlier about Shad. This situation was a VERY odd one to say the least. After doing some digging and finding out the background story of everything I can say that I would have done the same thing. MTCS has many problems within its own with the whole Waldron and Throneberry family situations. However, when Shadowens left Smyrna for MTCS, it was for family reasons, he left to watch his daughters grow up and be closer to them (In case you didn't know, having a business and job and maintaining a good family life is pretty hard). Problems arose when the Girls Basketball coach apparently didn't treat his older daughter right, Shad isn't a guy who is going to lash out at another person so he handled it the way any other Parent would, he pulled his kid. Now unfortunately he had to pick, Kids he had promised he had be there for, or HIS children, and he went with Family First. All I can say is may God bless Coach Shad, because he will be flamed for this FOR AWHILE, and it is unjust. If you yourself, can admit you wouldn't put your family first, then I have no respect for you. Now for Blackman, lets just be honest, they are going to be STACKED this year. If I were Jeremiah I'd be looking for a way out of Smyrna after the season was over, now that this has happened, Blackman looks VERY tempting. Coach Williams ran a vanilla offense with possibly the best athletes in Smyrna (Did you see the defense?!?!?!). I do know one thing is for sure, Coach Williams isn't the favorite with certain players families, and now with the opportunity to get under Shad's wings..we may see A LOT of transfers. And also a lot of reunions, as stars from Blackman used to attend Smyrna Middle and know Jeremiah, Deon, Kece, a lot of the players who are in the rumor to be transferring. This will be interesting, VERY interesting.

Wow, what a slap in the face to Smyrna and MTCS. I thought he left Smyrna to watch his daughters grow up? Now what will be his excuse? And to think I really had HIGH respect for this man. What a slap in the face...
