    They are all on the same page from the ground up.... and you aremt trying to teach seniors how to wrap up and tackle or hand placement for blocks....always fundamentally solid well coached teams

    I would imagine it's not uncommon for other youth teams to have good coaches who teach the fundamentals. There are plenty of good coaches out there and it's hard for me to believe that Maryville has a monopoly on all of them.

    To me, our success at Maryville has been based around having 2 really good feeder programs. Having both allows double the amount of kids getting quality playing time which is invaluable. Both programs have their share of good coaches at each level, but the ability to get so many kids on the field in meaningful games really helps their development before they hit the Junior High and play for one program (MJHS).

    If everyone stays on the train the program will be hard to stop. Maryville kinda similar in that they run their programs from youth league, feeder Middle Schools and High School the philosophy.  They are so strong fundamentally that it allows coaches to coach and not have to go back and teach tackling, blocking, wrapping up, pass defense and so on. I am planning foregoing the miserable Blackman season and coming to a few of the Cleveland games 

    Maryville has a philosophy?? That's news to me....

    More than anything I want to see the defense improve from the game vs Clinton. Mcminn runs the wing -t and doesn’t pass the ball much at all.  But they have a very athletic RB that can run. If Clevelands defense plays better, I like the offense to score a lot. I’m gonna say Cleve 38 Mcminn 21

    Peanut can scoot!

    That’s why it’s such a blessing to have coaches at Maryville with such high character. They minister to our kids and don’t  go around chest thumping and running their mouths. 

    I wouldn't say that about all of them, but Damon is not as bad as you think. I'd take him over most coaches I know.

    You don't take the force hits in wrestling as you do in football or get totally knocked out. It's physics. 225 pound LB or de coming from 10 yards away as fast as they can to hit a 170 pound RB , WR, or QB. Never happens in wrestling. Imagine what that does to you. There are no weight limits in football plus a football game can last much longer than a few second pinfall. Sure wrestling is very strenuous and a great challenging spot. I stand by my football analogy.

    Ask an athlete who participates in both and I promise you they'll say wrestling is tougher. You "play" football, there's no "play" in wrestling.

       It's not even the longest running rivalry in the state,,,,,,,,let alone the nation

    Looks like the Rockwood Alumni Association failed you.

    "The Alcoa High School and Maryville High School football game is considered the longest consecutive rivalry series in the country. The two schools have been competing against each other since 1921, and they have played each other every year ever since, making it a continuous rivalry."

    Maryville vs Alcoa is as big as it gets. I remember 1 year. Can't remember if it was 2006 or 2008. Game was at Maryville. I saw people behind Maryville's side of the stadium. I saw a couple of families who didn't even watch the game. Man,Wife and Kids were eating and laying on a blanket. They just wanted to be there. 

    One of my buddies @FargoStrutcame in from across the state to see it with me last year. He's seen rivalries all over the Midstate and some out west and I'd say he'd agree with you RR. There's nothing like it...

    Third graders can't read. Teen suicide up. Teen with guns killing each other. How is it getting better. I think the problem is where you are getting your info. Just look around you.

    Correct BT. I'm not sure how often we've agreed on something, but it appears we're closely aligned on this one.
