I coached football at Heritage 6 years, and I just wanted to commit to the person who claimed that the Heritage players were classless and cheap. During the four years that I was there, not once did a player every play cheap or dirty, nor were they coached. Those kids always played hard no matter what the talent level. Remember, '99 and '00 when Heritage upset Maryville. I was on that staff both years, and those kids played hard. I also am good friends with Coach Nelson and I have heard of Coach Rewis. I am positive that those coaches as well as the entire staff teach sportsmanship along with hard play.
I also wanted to say to the Maryville fans, congratulations on all the continued success. This is a game that I miss, and good luck to both teams. Hope the game is fun and enjoyable.
