Think Maryville will win but it'll be closer than the Alcoa and Webb games. This is West's year, imo, to make the championship in 5A.

we will gladly welcome any Alcoa rejects over at 825 Lawrence.

It's going to be a huge challenge for Maryville. Siegel is absolutely loaded with or without the qb. (I expect that he'll play but be limited.) It's always fun playing teams from Rutherford Co. Siegel has a pretty good website for their football team as well - wish Maryville had something like that.

How old is young Cozart? And what's his dad up to these days?

Pep I don't really care what you say. No one is trying to censor. Just offering an opinion. Weaklink... What?

When MHS played at Bearden there was talk that Bearden was attempting to steal signals. I do not know if it is true. Regardless, I'm rooting for DB in this one. I'd like to see a round 3 matchup between the Indians and Rebels. Also agree with the last sentence in STARPOWER's post back a few pages... Some MHS fans on here take every perceived slight against Maryville personally. It's a little ridiculous. People are allowed to have opinions about Maryville. Good for the Foreman kid getting a great education paid for. Swafford going anywhere?

Were Shuler and Kimble playing defensive back?

All valid points. MC is very nice facility. I just wonder how long the college will let them use. I try to make to few games a year, as baseball is my favorite sport... Some of you might be surprised, it's usualky a very good atmosphere, especially when a particular West Knoxville school rolls in

I hope this game happens. It would an electric atmosphere at Shields.

It might be a shock for those who did not attend MHS to find out that sports other than football are offered at the high school. In fact, I hear some of those programs might have championships of their own. As far as the baseball talk, I think the MHS program needs a head coach who is with the team full time. Gaylor has done a good job these last few years, but his attention is divided. The hitting facility they have is very nice and by far the best of its kind in the county. They just need their own field. William Blount, Heritage, and Alcoa all have great baseball fields. No reason MHS shouldn't.

MHS baseball has improved a lot over the last 5 years. They really need their own field.

September 14. 2001. I remember it well. The students waved the Stars and Stripes instead of the confederate flags they usually waved in those days.

I don't follow youth football like y'all. Does Maryville have any 8th graders coming up that will contribute to the varsity next year?

Cummings has done a great job up there... he's been there, what, 12 years? And West keeps getting better and better. I think they could become THE team in Knox County over the next few.

I agree. Just something to discuss until August

I think you mentioned that you were c/o 2010 on the other thread, so I can understand this. But if you had seen the 2002, 1998, or even 2005 Rebel squads in action, you might be singing a different tune. All three of those teams were tremendously dominant. As good as 2002 was, they could have been even better. It's scary to think about - their top QB (Rouse) missed the whole year after getting hurt in a scrimmage and TJ Brock was either kicked out/left school (can't remember now, getting old). And they still ran through the state. 2011 and 2007 were very, very good teams, but those 3 were just a cut above.

No, it wouldn't have.

Good luck to Powell. Bring it home to east TN.

I noticed a few things, actually. A) Blackman never gets far enough to see Maryville. "Hillbilly" (can we get a definition?) ball wins when it goes against Rutherford County. C) they're/there/their Why am I even arguing, though? Maryville could beat Rutherford County schools 27 straight times, and we'd still be hearing the same things.

Maryville fans just need to realize that none of those teams/fans will ever respect the Rebels. No matter how many times Maryville kicks the dog out of the best team from the best district in the country, they will never, ever respect or give Maryville their due. Who cares, though? It's just the way it is, and the way it will always be. We'll be arguing about the same thing next year. Personally, I'll take gold balls over playing in the best district in the country.

First off, looking forward to reading a newspaper, the DNJ, that actually covers their team. Maryville heard the "can't run on this defense" two years ago. I think they'll have success doing both Friday. Gonna be a great game and great atmosphere.

Those are called "rivals." Are you familiar with the term?

Like pep, I don't want to look ahead, but I'll go ahead and predict that Oak Ridge beats Riverdale/Blackman and advances to the semis.
