Middle tennessee has better football than the east because they are deeper. That being said, Maryville is the best team in the state and I'm right whether you like it or not. The doubters are stupid. It's there. They win. I ran into someone the other day from Ravenwood who said "if we didn't have to play Blackman in the playoffs than we would have won state." I asked him about Maryville and he said "I saw them play and they didn't look very good." I almost threw a rock at him. Even though I like his confidence, his ignorance of Maryville's success just made him look so stupid. The rebels are good, and even if you don't like them, you cannot ignore them, just they way it is, deal with it.
