Trying to argue where a private school should be place based soley on numbers just shows posters are very mis informed. There is a reason BA won the 5a (highest classification) state championship in 1995 and 1996 with 300 students and Webb won the 2a championship over goodpasture in 1996. Its two completley different schools with there goals in football. The tssaa had it right a few years ago when BGA, Webb, ECS, PJP2, Briarcrest, ECS, Harding Aca, Knox Catholic, Saint Benedict, Notre Dame, Goodpasture ect where in the same division.,,these teams are very similar football programs a step down from Baylor, McCallie, MUS, Ensworth, BA, MBA, CBHS ect. if you dont recognize this and agrue financial aid numbers and enrollement numbers ect just shows that you are not very well versed in Tennessee High School football and its history. Webb is not paying its head coach the amount of money MBA, ENsworth BA McCallie Baylor ect is..If Coach Meske got fired, which he never will, his next job isnt going to be the QBs coach for arizona cardinals coaching in a superbowl. Webbs administration isnt setting aside specific # of spots for great athletes to get into the school....it just isnt happening and if you think it is you have never met Scott Hutcheson the schools president, you dont know the head coach David Meske and you are a distant observer of Webb School.

he was upset with some calls obviously but to be honest I didn't see many that warranted to be upset over to get thrown out for. Baylor wore Webb down. Pretty much was a matter of depth Baylor could go 2 platoons Webb played every down and then Baylor figured out it could just run straight at a tired Webb front 7. Good game Webb just lacked depth and a middle linebacker that has a ut offer being out didn't help.

Webb is up 7-0 at half. Tk had a 55 yard td run. Baylor coach was eject in first half

I played at webb and so im obviously a big fan. I think they have a much better shot this year than they had 2 years ago. It will all come down to the offensive line. Maryville has the advantage it just depends how big of an advantage. Same thing when i was at webb, we are small up front and have little depth on the line...but plenty of skill players as usual. Quarles is an excellent coach and if i were him id put that defensive end that has an offer from UT on the side TK runs his sweep to and itll be hard for webbs wing back and (depending on where he lines up) the tight end to block him and could potentially cause some issues. If i had to guess id say 28-14 maryville, good game but maryville scores 2 tds in the 4 quarter. Hope i wrong...i think we got a shot and if we do win itll be the best regular season win for webbs program to ever and a very proud night. Go Spartans!

Very sloppy 1st game for both teams. Alcoa needs to give the ball to #12 more, he runs hard. Webb fumbled too many times and just when they had momentum going for them, their whole team started cramping. At one point their starting qb/lb #1, starting db/wr/backup qb #8, and starting dT/OT #57, where all on the ground cramping at the end of the 3rd quarter. I thought it was 2 very even teams with alcoa just having more depth. The blance kid just needs some more games to get back in to it.

I think webb plays well in the first half but by the 4th quarter they can't keep the pace and alcoa pulls away with a 35-21 win. Webb has talent but i think all 11 players are going both ways and 2 starters are out, one being brock beeler who is a talented player. As a former webb player it is sad to see the numbers decreasing. 38 kids? i remember a few years ago there were 54 kids on the webb middle school team! The administration at that school, in particular the head master doesn't seem to understand how a southern prep school should be run. CAK is starting to understand the importance of football for a school. Good luck to all, and Go Spartans!

As a webb fan, congrats to usj. That qb was deadly accurate tonight, had a great arm. When a high school team can thow like that when he has no pressure all night its almost impossibe to stop. I thought the biggest 2 plays of the game was in the 3rd quarter when webb's LB dropped the int where he would of walked in the endzone and the very next play usj hits a 98 yard TD passon 3rd and 10! Thats a huge 14 point swing. Congrats to USJ and hope you all have a safe drive home and good luck to both teams in the championship game. Sad to see caleb blance leave, had great career at webb.

Webbs stands are bad. the press box is really nice though, probably one of the best in the state. they should add a grassy turf field. They need to add one section to the right side of the stadium and they should add additional visitor seating. It really is sad. Whenever they play a 5a school or higher the visiting teams band takes up 1/4 of the stadium. the problem is the administration and president is a california guy who does not understand southern prep schools or the importance of athletics and an esprit de corp. Just shows you how good Coach meske is at running a football and athletic department. If that school wanted to they could go out and recruit knoxville, maryville, alcoa, and oak ridge for kids and easily have the best teams in the state. Its the only private school in knoxville capable of doing it...but the president could care less. This is why Coach meske chooses to play in the lower division...he knows the school wont back him to be able to get the athletes in to compete against ensworth, ba, baylor, mus, ect.

Webb is a better team than that 40-0 loss to ensworth...i think they were in pretty big shell shock after all that happened the thursday before....but no question ensworth is a much Better team. Having seen ensworth and maryville play the same opponent. i will say pretty confidently that enworth is better than maryville. Elder is a better runner than prevo and all around ensworth is just better. Webb cant win a championship in D2aa but they can be as competitive as BGA is. If the school moves up this next time then they need to start going out in the knoxville area and being proactive in getting good players to the school. Webb is the only private school in the knoxville area and could have a monopoly on athletes if that administration truely had desire to be great in football.

i think your getting a little sensitive. What maryville did everyone expected...i wouldnt worry to much about it. I think this webb team will be a better team than last years...may take a few games to get there line going but i think in the end its a better team than last years. From only one game ive seen of maryville this year and very little of what i saw last year on tv against bearden, alcoa, and smyrna i would guess and say the maryville team this year will be regarded as better. Im sure a lot of that rides on next week. Very solid win to start the season..keeping thoes backs contained is tough no matter who it is. Good luck to maryville the rest of the way...very classy program run by a very classy coach. Hopefully we can give ensworth a tough game to give yall some extra ammunition to lay claim as best in state.

Hard to say which ones are better in my opinium...all of them are great...Give the blance brothers to maryville and prevo to webb and not much changes imo. Prevo had muuuuch bigger holes to run thrugh. Why does prevo line up in the backfield with his feet so close together...looked kind funny to me.

Maryville just controlled the line of scrimmage...Webb couldnt stop maryville. Webb could move the ball but they shot themeselves in the foot with penalties which stalled drives. Webb had to get a few more of thoes fumbles to give themeselves a shot. Maryville maybe had 4 or 5 fumbles and webb got 1 of them. Was very impressed with Todd kelly. Prevo is a great back too. The blance brothers are very quick and caleb is a tough one but they need a line. Good luck to maryville the rest of the way....if you will even need it!

Vols12345678 i think you are over reacting a bit. Dont get upset by a comment and then turn around and make a similar dumb comment back at them...So far its all second hand information anyway on a message board .Saying a CAK dad is jealous is just as dumb esp. when he was just complementing Webbs program....CAK has gotten better and better over the years and trying to trash their program does not make Webb's any better. As a Webb fan ill say In the end Webb has to be able to move the football and score... b/c i dont see Webb being able to stop maryville. If webb has an upsett itll be something like 35-34..but if webb cant score and maryville shuts down the wing-t it could very easily be 35-7...its the first game of the season so its hard to judge...but when you got a future college qb playing its very hard on high school defenses to stop. Hope its a Good game.

Red robin you beat me to that, i was thinking about that last night and i had just remembered Ensworth and totally forgot to put that. Only one person said TK could do whatever he wants...As a sophomore he is very talented but i dont see him taking over a game anytime soon esp against maryville. He will be an SEC player by the time he is a senior barring injury....i am willing to put a small bet on that. Good point about maryville....they havent lost to a knox county public school in looong time. No on here is trying to knock maryville down....everyone from webb knows theyre awesome...the webb people are trying to garner a little respect...that most in the knoxville area dont seem to give them...yet, most of the maryville fans have shown that until one dumb comment about a sophmore player doing whatever he wants.
