Maryville's JV played Friday, but HVA did not.

This morning, HVA cancelled today's JV game with Maryville.

Coming along nicely!

Looks like Science Hill is on NFHS Network. https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/schools/science-hill-high-school-johnson-city-tn/football

Heritage's away white uniforms are trimmed in Red and Black. The helmet emblem has Columbia Blue in it, but the jerseys and pants were trimmed Red and Black. I thought the uniforms looked great, but I am confused as to the colors. I've missed this if it's been posted somewhere.

The informal "meet and greet" Coach Wilson start time has been changed to 5:45pm. Come by and say hello!

I just received word that Coach Ted Wilson is coming to the Farragut vs Maryville game this Friday. The MHS staff is organizing an informal, impromptu reception for him in the Don Story Athletic Center starting a 6pm pregame. Come by and say hello to Coach!

Unfortunately, I believe he's a senior.

Don't believe so. I guess at the gate.

I think the Heritage players and their coach(es) were quite passionate, of course, and they didn't seem to quit. I heard NOTHING inappropriate. The head coach has brought lots of enthusiasm to the program from players to fans that did not seem to exist on previous Heritage teams.

Tickets can be pre-purchased at https://gofan.co/app/events/638275?schoolId=TN11339 or you can pay cash at the Broadway or Central office gate, or credit/debit/apple/google pay at all gates. $8 ($1 fee added for all credit purchases)

And big knucklehead!

Will more players leave Heritage for other high schools because of the coach? Time will tell.

It will be interesting see how much and how long (this season) the Blount County referees put up with it when it's aimed at them.

I thought you knew almost everything and could find out what you didn't know.

Are Alcoa players or Heritage players on the home side?

I don't understand the $4M price tag. There's got to be more "stuff" than just turf included in that price tag. Maryville's & Alcoa's turfs were nowhere near that amount.

Heritage and William Blount to get turf fields for the 2023 season. https://www.thedailytimes.com/news/blount-school-board-approves-3-86-million-for-synthetic-turf-fields-at-heritage-william-blount/article_a790ead0-1274-11ed-bbcb-bff41fd30480.html

Due to referee shortages across the state, the TSSAA moved some games to Thursdays all across the state. I think that's why the Heritage game got moved. The Powell game is on Thursday also because it's the TV game.

I haven't seen QB1 play and I haven't watched any practices. However, this morning on 99.1, Jessie Smithy said he expected QB1 to have a very good season under Coach Hunt and thought QB1 might be a breakout player. Time will tell, of course.

Hope he does well, but I'd pleasantly be surprised.

Scott took the team to state 2 of the last three years and is the winningest MHS girls basketball coach of all times. He must have related fairly well.

I'm hearing that they're having trouble selling video board advertisements (touch down, first down sponsors) because of no Scott West. There's no one to coordinate the video and graphics plus they need someone to run all the ads during the game. Hopefully, they'll find someone to replace Scoot soon although many don't work (not much) during the summer break.
