Congratulations to all the state champs this years.
Bishop Byrne, Briarcrest, MUS, Alcoa, DCA, Maryville, Knoxville Fulton and of course Riverdale. You all played hard all year and got the ultimate prize! I didnt see the Division II games so I cant comment much on them. I did see all the D-I games though. DCA played its butt off in the second half and totally dominated Boyd. Chris Wooden had an amazing day with 282 yards rushing. Alcoa won what was, to me, the most exciting game of the year. I really like their offensive approach. Fulton was dominant in the second half as well over Greenbrier. Roger Herndon did it all for Greenbrier though. I didnt realize he punted, returned kick and played db as well as being a great running back. Maryville won with their defense and a blocked PAT. That has to frustrate Melrose. Maryville is a great team and played a great defensive game. That was my first look at Cade Thompson this year. And last but not least, Congrats to my alma mater Riverdale on their fouth state title. They dominated Franklin and got it done. Congrats to Franklin on having a good year though, you guys played hard and dont hang your heads, you accomplished more than any other Rebel team in history!
Well, this was a great year and congratulations to all the state champs, and the runners-up! If you guys have any comments on the season and the champions, post them here. Again Congrats!!
