Well there have been so many great players come through maryville in the last 30 years its so hard to say who would be my 22 best. I have seen years of great player and I even took a few days to figure this list but here it goes.
OFFENSE:
QB- Burnett (1st-Best field general when it counted), Cade Thompson (2nd-strongest arm), Toki McCray(3rd- tightest spiral/best ball)
RB- Carl Stewart(nasty) Michael Potter( 1800 yd season in 1998)Danny Spradlin(NFL)
WR-Tyler Maples(fastest player ever, deep threat every play)/Ryan Maples(Athlete with size and speed)/David Sweetland(small but electric, made play after play)/Brad Merritt(Mr. Reliable)
OL- Entire '98 line/ there has been so many great lineman since(Roulston)
Others come to mind: Cole Hammontree had some excellent plays/ Scott Wilks/ Kyle Harris/ Jason Hicks/ Andy Kerr/ Zac Presnell(beast)
DEFENSE:
DL- Chuck Prugh(man amoung boys)/ Brad Hilsher(big,strong player)/ Adam Parton(relentless)/ Matt Harris/ Drew Galyon/ Cole McKinney( Hole Plugger The best)
LBS- Steven Pacifico (1st)(ungodly man in the middle)/ Josh Theriot (2nd)(5'10'' 225 and would abuse you with every hit)/ Andrew Healy (could be the best ever thats a tough one) / Matt Valentine/ Josh Combs(speed kills)/ Morgan Shinliver(best in the flats I've ever seen)/ Matt Giles/ Joey Breedlove
CB- Matt Stalcup (1st)(Hands down the best cover corner ever to come through maryville, impossible to throw on from '98-'99, interception king). Tyler Maples/Ryan Maples( Tall, Fast, great hands, Two brothers you could trust at that position, excellent athletes. David Sweetland( again rediculous athletic tallent, like stalcup could pick anything in his area. would change games instantly.
S- Kyle Harris( everywhere on the darn field when you needed him) Scott Wilks( motor that never stopped, gave 110% every play) Patrick Vananda( mid 90's safety who would make big hits, and led the secondary in every stat)Patrick Thomas( not as fast as some but made up for with attitude) Cole Hammontree('98 big time safety made a play-off pick six that sealed that teams fate, but had many other great plays, that one sticks out.
K-Takauki Koyano( excellent leg prob. the best) Andy Kerr(automatic lefty who was about 90% for his career) Justin Deradorf( kerr's better half from '96-'98, the best kicking tandom in state history. Absolutly)
KR- Tyler Maples( could go to the heezy at any time) David Sweetland ( had kr after kr for 30plus yards consistantly over his career) Ryan Maples( Knew how to use the wall to his atvantage better than anyone)
