What we have here is an influx of outsiders raining down on the town of Maryville like a swarm of locust trying to change our culture into the same crap they moved away from. I have no issues with anyone coming here but don't bring your politics with you. Most people around here never pay attention to the elections and keep letting the same ole rats and vermin right back in the back door and wonder why things are like they are. The problem at Maryville High is mainly due to letting outsiders get a foothold on control and shove their agenda down everyone's throat. Anyone that leaves there or let's say ranoff are replaced with an outsider with the same mindset. Eventually Maryville High will never be the same as it once was which I'm beginning to believe already but it's only chance of survival are to recruit people that will get in there and reverse the damage that has already happened.

I realize there is a lot of animosity toward the principal at 825, but does anybody actually think any of this would’ve happened if GQ had been there? I seriously doubt it. More than a couple of guys drawing good checks need to grow a pair.

Not really sure how all this would have played if he had stayed but I dang sure know he wasn't interested in anyway of ever coming back, not to this mess.

The only thing that was said at half time of the 45-0 game was Coach Story, he said: "I know y'all have been out there a lot, but kick-off team, y'all need to get down there faster!" Then he and the other coaches proceeded to go into the coaches office and we all went nuts!  It was the only time I can ever remember coaches not saying anything at half time. Definitely a great memory!!!

My favorite game of the 1980'S, that's why I remember it so well.

When Danny was a senior he was the quarterback on the 82 team and also the placeholder on extra points. At the end of the game Heritage scored a touchdown with very little time left and went ahead 9-0. On the following extra point Danny rose up and threw a perfect pass to one of his receivers which made it 11-0 and Heritage's first win against Maryville since the series started in 77. Maryville fans were highly ticked off because they felt like it was rubbing salt in the wound. The following year when both teams met again at Maryville  the Rebels ran away with the game and after the first couple of touchdowns they went for two points after each score for a pay back and the score was 45-0 at halftime. The following Monday Bob Gilbert the sports eiditor for the local paper bashed Maryville in an article called the Humilation of Teenagers and tore into Maryville even though he was a graduate of the school. Those were the good ole days when Heritage had decent teams and the rivalry between them and Maryville was a fun event to see.

Telling an 18 yr old young man he’ll never amount to anything and he will spend the rest of his life bagging groceries. That’s degrading in my book. 

He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.

80's as a player and 90's as a coach?

Danny Wilson is the only one that come's to mind but I don't know where he is at now.

I stopped at a yard sale two weeks ago in town and I ran up on a couple of ladies that were talking and no doubt one of them was a teacher at MHS and the conversation was pretty much what your saying. I listened to much as I could because the teacher was talking loud. I acted like their conversation was just flying over my head so they wouldn't stop talking. The lady was bold enough to come out and say someone wasn't happy just being what they are now but just playing their time until the big job opens. She told the other ladies people in town better wake up fast and get to asking questions on what was going on up there.

As I said somewhere earlier in the thread, the original plans had no outdoor athletic facilities being part of the campus.  The original plan was for HVA to use facilities at nearby schools.  Very late in the process they came up with a plan and found budget to have minimal facilities and crammed them in to space that never was intended for athletic facilities.  

Sounds like the same group that designed West, South, East and Fulton. They all used the old Knoxville High Field along with Rule. Talk about a field that got over used.

If someone needed their grades pumped up surley it would have to be for someone needing it to get to another level. If your intending on going to work right after high school it wouldn't matter. Why would someone in their right mind think if they screwed it up in high school that their ready for college. It has to be for an athlete to get them over the fence to get in and from that point the school their going to will cheat them through the rest of the way for their athletic skills just like the rest.

Yeah it will take the county kids in that area that were going to lenior city. They will move down to 4a I think 

The new school will be on that road behind Home Depot next to a church. I'm wondering if this could take from Greenback or could it be the end of Greenback, they only have 200 students.

The New Word of the Day at Maryville High is Tuition.

 Everytime the superintendent hears about the yellow paint on the football field he gets Tuition he could stick that can of paint up someone's behind.

Unfortunately the Sweetwater thing spooked some principals and ADs looking for head coaches in this cycle, even though Caleb wasn't at fault in any way. He had multiple OC opportunities. Personally, I'm glad he chose Karns, given that my oldest grandson plays in their middle school program. 

Caleb is a good coach and a class act. It's a win for Karns to get him. 

It most certainley is and who knows how long the head coach will stay also. 

The season ticket had a $5.75 service fee on it. What kind of service will I be getting for that ?

Been in the planning stages for awhile, but I'll believe it when I see it...

Be nice if it happens, Just need to keep the yellow paint out of someone's hands if it does.

keep us updated on where he ends up

Not sure where he will land but I've been told lots of issues follow and not exactly with the kid himself which is unfortunate but I hope for only the best for this young man and will be a big supporter where ever he lands.

Talked to a man today that told me he had saw preliminary drawings of a new athletic indoor field house to be built on the present practice field at the high school for football and other sports use. Curious if anyone else has heard about this because I sure hadn't until this morning.

Got three more days to renew your Season Football Tickets.

Mairvul loses to the Admirals in lacrosse by a few touchdowns today. 

That's called Karma for letting that Lucifer get away with painting the football field with yellow paint.

I mean, I guess I’ve never been and actually just looked at it. I just find the seats and sit, don’t really have any complaints. Whether that be the visitor side or the home side, I just sit wherever I find the most space, which at Hardin Valley is almost always the home section, but I don’t know, maybe it’s really that bad and I’ve really never paid enough attention to it. The away section is crammed, but it’s crammed up for pretty much every high school that has an away section.

That's the actual measurements from Google Earth. I have nothing against HVA and hope them well but not a great place to watch a football game at. I am glad they have a decent field to play on now versus the grass field that looked like cattle had ate it up.

HVA is a dumpster fire. They will never be good. Too big of a school to move down in classification. It will be a lacrosse & baseball as soon as lacrosse is TSSAA sanctioned

When they built this place they didn't take enough land for growth and now have painted themselves into a corner. My guess is most of their potential football prospects are attending some of the nearby private schools just as Karns leaving them with only the scraps. My nephew played for GCA 8 years ago and they lived in Karns and most of the kids that played for GCA did also. This is a mess and the only thing I know any worse is the problem running Maryville High.

Glad he is somewhere now and out of Sweetwater. I personally thought he could of landed a better job than that but maybe it will all work out.
