I am not at all a Maryville fan, but I do have to say that they have been the most dominant team in TN the last couple of years. I could only immagine if teams like Maryville could openly recruit players like that of BA, MBA, and CPA. Just remember also they have to deal with the real world of special Ed. , classroom behavior. Not what is dad going to buy me tonight. All the teams I mentioned have great programs in their own right, but you can only compare apples to apples. These are two totally different kinds of leagues. Maryville is the only team in the last three years to win them all. They also had to be in the top four of the region to go to the playoffs (everyone makes it in Div II). They had to win 4 playoff games to make the big dance. I am not at all taking anything away from Maryville or Div II teams, but it takes good coaching, great athletes, and the right kind of luck to make it.
I do think that MBA might be the team this year. We will never see good Div II teams play teams like Maryville due to scheduling conflicts. They are made to play teams in thier county and surrounding area. That is why they call it public and private. Private can make their own rules, public can't.
