Amen. He's beyond awful and was an embarrassment to the otherwise decent crew from last night.

I felt the same way. That coach was either an idiot or trying to make a spectacle of himself. A rare victory is no excuse to be so un-professional in a FRESHMEN game. I really hope that coach didn't start the chant, but it wouldn't surprise me if he did. As to the chanting itself, I've got no problem with that at all. Those kids really did win by playing more physical than Maryville. #90, #2 & the QB (among others) have bright futures.

I can see that you're going with sarcasm, but there's too much stupid mixed in to know what you're trying to say.

Can we go ahead and drop the "Maryville is down this year" mentality?

I couldn't find any records for Alcoa, but I'm betting you were wrong about your success against them too (3 of 4). I was wrong before though, once...

You aren't remembering correctly. Unless you've resorted to counting freshman, jv or FFA contests. I'll say it again: HHS has only beaten Maryville 6 times in the series, and HHS has never beaten Maryville more than twice in any 4 year span.

Just need it one time champ... 3 out of 4? You sure about that? HHS has only beaten Maryville 6 times in the series, and HHS has never beaten Maryville more than twice in any 4 year span.

Two different sentences there. Let me break it down for you: 1) There were numerous times when HHS ran offensive plays with only 10 players on the field. The refs never saw it though. HHS had to burn several timeouts, but there were plenty of plays were the refs and HHS coaches were clueless. 2) The play where HHS broke the huddle w/ 12 men and then called a timeout before a penalty was called or a play was run, should have been a penalty. You can't save a "breaking the huddle w/ 12 men" penalty by calling a timeout. It looked like GQ and Co. were pointing out the penalty to the stripes (during the timeout), but the officials were too stubborn to admit their mistake. Clear as mud now, right?

HHS has been a winning program? Too bad the stripes couldn't count to 11. HHS sent 10 out on offense numerous times. And it doesn't matter if you call a timeout, breaking the huddle w/ 12 is a penalty.

Last week's officiating crew was mostly from Morristown. The side judge on Maryville's side was previously a Maryville native. Some might remember him from his days missing calls during Maryville Little League girls softball games. Some things never change...

Been a long time since I've been on here, but since I got called out about half-way through I'll add my two cents... I'm not very old so anything before '90 is irrelevant.
