We used to have to play Alcoa, Maryville, Knox West, MUS, Brentwood Academy..... to get a gold ball. Lost to Alcoa twice in the semis (one a heartbreaking 1 point loss) and beat them in a qtr final 42-14. Played Maryville one time and beat them in a semi 14-13. Beat Brentwood Academy for a gold ball. Beat Knox West in a semi on our way to another gold ball. They were the only team to score on 1st string defense that year. They went up 7-0 and we beat them 41-7.
We used to have to some very tough teams.
