The SS fumble on the 5 yd line was huge for Maryville. But don't forget that the Maryville fumble on the 5 yd line, before the half, was just as huge for SS. In both cases the offense was about to score. So basically the two fumbles cancel each other out. You take the fumbles away and the margin of victory is still the same. It would have been 55-28 instead of 48-21.

I was at the game. Curt looked very good. The rest of the SS team looked average. Curt was able to slowly move the ball down field. Maryville moved the ball any way they wanted to move the ball. Bottom line is that SS had an average team with a stud QB/Safety. One player is good but not enough. Good luck next year to all.

Maryville has already faced a QB as good as Phillips. His name is Randall Cobb (Alcoa) and he has verbally committed to Kentucky and has been offered by several SEC schools (including UT). He can run the ball with the best of them (very very fast) and has an amazingly strong arm. Maryville was able to contain him even though he had a D1 WR recruit to throw to and an all-state RB to hand off to. No doubt that Phillips is the real deal. I feel that the experience of playing against Cobb should help the Maryville D prepare.

I feel sorry for RB because this game was not close at all. I was surprised because of Maryville's injuries.

What is the injury status of Maryville's two starting corners (Jordan & Clement)? I heard that neither played in the 2nd half last game.

Here is the simple breakdown. WB had bigger and better players. WB had homefield advantage. WB had the good luck orange jerseys. Maryville had numerous players injured. Some of the MHS injured players could not play and some had to play at less than 100%. MHS had more total yds and a much better time of possesion. So how did WB lose? Just because. That's life.

FBE should be ashamed for starting this clasless thread. He makes us Maryville fans look bad.

More bad news for Maryville fans. Tyler Maples (Mr. Football) has a swollen ankle (infection) and will not be 100% for tomorrow's game. There is a chance he won't even play. Thanks

Gaylor (Maryville's D-Coordinator) was not at practice all week with a bad back and had back surgery this morning. He likely won't be at the game tomorrow. That hurts.

How are Maryville and Hillsboro looking injury wise?

During the 1st quarter it was exciting. After that it was back to reality for RB. Sorry but it is the truth. Maybe next year RB?

Mo West is again loaded! And so is Maryville! It will be a great game so long as both teams have a good running and passing game. I have seen Maryville play and I know they are balanced. I have heard the MoWest has a great passing game this year. Should be a great game. Play it up!!!!!!!!!!!!

RB has a pretty good defense. Their offense was a bit suspect. Maryville is Maryville. I enjoyed the game.

That's funny!

For Oak Ridge's standards they must be awful this year! To lose to McMinn and William Blount is about as low as a "dominant" 5-A team can get. 5-A in east TN sure is weak this year. I read where Maryville (4-A) walked all over WB. Sounds like Maryville and many of the 4-A teams in their region would have it easier in Oak Ridge's region.
