He'll still be talking about what Sevier County did last year, next year. And the year after that. And the year after that. And... well, you get the picture. He and his little friends apparently like to live in the past. It makes them feel good about themselves. It's all they've got.

Just a dominating performance from Maryville yet again. If you all don't win another championship this year I'll be shocked. IMO easily the best team in the state. As for SH, nothing to hang your heads about. You had one heckuva season and should be proud of all you've accomplished on the field this year. To the Seniors, back-to-back District 1-AAA Champions. 3 wins in a row over DB. You worked hard and it showed. Thanks for giving your all as a Hilltopper and making JC proud. Will be glad to get Malik, Mikey and Rashad on the basketball court now. Go Toppers!

My buddy just sent me a picture from the game and where are all the Maryville fans? Looked like the home side was nowhere close to being full.

On the offensive side of the ball, the players to really watch for the Toppers are QB Malik McGue, RB Justin Bedard and WR's Mikey White, Elijah Mathes, Marcus Patton and Tyrique Perkins, as well as the big OL Malcolm White. On the defensive side of the ball, the players to watch are DL Quintin Alibocus and Chase Silvers, LB/DB Trey Sutton and DB Brandon Westmoreland. The LB you are referring to is Sophomore, Bryson Tolley. He's seeing a lot of playing time and looks good out there for a young player.

SH does have fan support despite what you think. If you'd been to any other game besides the two vs DB you would know that. I went to every game this season except the two against the Indians and the home side was always full except for the two mentioned. And the only reason those two were not full was because of the weather (which was awful).

What Sevier County did last year against Science Hill means absolutely nothing this year so you can quit hanging your hat on that. But if you do want to talk like that, you all lost to DB this year. We've beaten them twice in two weeks, this last time in a blowout. None of these other games matter. All that matters is SH/Maryville. This year. Plain and simple if SH's defense does not show up, Maryville wins easily. If they do show up, this one could get interesting. I remember all the talk leading up to the Brentwood Academy game. No one was giving SH a chance. Everyone was saying they were going to get blown out. Didn't happen. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see which Topper team shows up to play come Friday. And for those saying SH must've kept their starters in late in these blowouts they've had this year. Not true. SH's starters were always taken out after halftime or early in the 3rd quarter in those games. SH even played a game or two without McGue.

McGue kind of does it all for SH. His primary position is QB but at times he will also line up at WR. He returns kicks and plays in the secondary too. Just an all-around great player. He's small, 5'7-5'8 but is quick and shifty.

Of course someone from Cloudland would find this post funny. Those of us with an actual education just ignored it.

Is Shorty's youngest Jaylan? He's a Freshman. Isn't he QB of the Freshman team? He even played QB for the Varsity squad at Sullivan Central a few weeks ago.

Mathes has been clutch at WR for us the last two years. He and Bedard in the backfield next year though would definitely make for an awesome one-two punch. If they move Mathes to primarily RB next year who will replace him at WR? Perkins will be back as will Holly, I believe. Isn't Mikey's younger brother a WR on JV? I've heard he's going to be as good as his brother. I think his name's Davian.

You guys say this every year. I'm not doubting you won't be good. I know you will. I'm just saying don't underestimate the Toppers next year. Sure, we will lose a great player but we've got an awful lot of talent coming back. And Bedard is going to be a very good QB for us. He isn't as elusive as McGue but his arm is a lot stronger and he's played RB all season for us, so clearly he can do it with his feet as well.

You mean three game winning streak? We won in Kingsport last year too, remember? SH is not the new DB. SH is the new SH.

Do you know how to read? I said SH's offense can play with anyone. And they can. Quit being so butt hurt over your team's loss tonight. The better team won, as they did two weeks ago too. Move on.

SH won last year too or did you forget? SH won't be in for any rude awakening next year. McGue graduates but we still have a ton of talent coming back. 3 of the players that hurt you all the most tonight will be back for SH; Bedard, Mathes and Perkins. SH will be just fine. Trust me.

It will be interesting. SH has the offense to play with anyone. Their defense is the question mark. If they play well, this could be a very close game. If they don't play well, Maryville wins by 3 touchdowns.
