First of all,Maryville,Alcoa did call wanting to play and others.,.but owls declined(cleveland will play them)Your are crazy,if you think Brainerd and east ridge will bring more than maplewood or A-E(it will about the same,except brainerd will bring nobody).2nd everybody is missing the point,these games(big name teams) help owls football!!packed house on friday means big dollars for a field house etc and fans love big games week in and week out.Brings more spotlight to Ooltewah through local paers,news channels not mention STATE WIDE...so playing weaker teams helps in the win column(AND THATS GOOD),but in the long run,Owls need to win a state title,owls drop down a class,playing big teams help. I want owls to win,just looking at the BIG picture.
