good, yes they were. the best ever???????????????? not a snowball's chance in you know where. maybe for maryville they were the best but how about a-e with leroy thompson???? alcoa had billy williams (ut and arizona cardinals), shannon mitchell (georgia and san diego chargers), jamie henry (mississippi state) and a few others who played college ball. by the way that team in '89 15-0, beat murvul 24-0 and was ranked by the usa today 18th in the nation. were they not 2A???? but they are not supposed to be in the same "league" as murvul. na, other way around. how bout webb with chad pennington?????? and i would take dustin lindsey and brandon warren over those other 2 anyday (so would fulmer and bowden). disagree if you wish, but murvul is not the perfect football program you think. until you all have a team that is rank inside the top 20 nationally, don't talk about how you are the "greatest ever." before you assume my "ignorance" you may wish to find out who i am. riverdale beats you oak ridge beats you central may beat you again, it's amazing how murvul begins to win championships only after they go to 5 classifications. i know, you won some before but there was like a 20 year drought or so. did you ever win a championship at the 3A level when there was only 3 classifications???? nope, zero, notta, zilch. enough of the best ever trash. red sox nation good luck warren was not stopped by murvul b/c he didn't play. guarantee you, they nor anyone else has a defender that can guard him. tell bowden with your "knowledge" that he's over rated. or why don't you tell him to his face.

beat all of them know, but you all keep undermining alcoa and underestimating them just b/c they are a 2a school. ask mccallie (private school) how good they are. ask brentwood academy (private school) how good they were in '89. you all can talk all you want and so will i. bottom line, alcoa is one of the best teams in the state and would be most other teams regardless of division. just b/c you have more players doesn't mean you'll win. and i don't care what anyone says, if warren plays the murvul game is completely different (i.e. alcoa wins). one other thing, i know they were just scrimmages (you really can't tell that much from them) but alcoa did outplay central and oak ridge.

yeah right. and i suppose your john madden of high school football

let me clarify what I meant when I said that alcoa was a 1A school playing 2A ball and should be in 3A. the size of the school is 1A. competition wise they are more of a 3A. for that matter, they could beat most if not all 4A and 5A teams. as for basketball, alcoa's history speaks for itself. before there were any classifications, they won 2 state championships. ohh, how many does murvul have?? (zero). coach osborne is still ranked nationally in the top 10 for all time wins by a high school coach. at basketball they can compete at any level.

uhh yeah there is. Maryville has never had the best offensive attack ever. Good and solid, but not the best. Guarantee you this. The team that contains murvilles running game, beats them. why????? b/c traditionally they don't have the athletes to win simply based on talent.

it was a great game from the start to the finish. mccallie is a very good team, especially on the offense. alcoa could have added another score at the end, they had a 1st and goal on the 2 with 1 minute left. they decided to take a knee which was probably the best move. can't say enough about dustin lindsey, his game was pretty awesome. the only thing that concerns me from this game is that alcoa needs to sure up its pass defense. credit mccallie though, their qb passed the ball like he was running the usc offense. good win for alcoa and thumbs up to coach reid for scheduling mccallie which provided a good test that will pay benefits come playoff time

They are a 1A school playing in 2A and probably should be in 3A. The low number of students is something we take pride in as an alumni.

Rockwood and Harriman may be the oldest (although I've heard stats that say Maryville-Alcoa is the oldest) but it is not the best. Alcoa-Maryville hands down. 2 schools with unprecedented success in their respective divisions separated by a little creek.

wow, making excuses. a loss is a loss. too much is made of the margin of victory. i expect maryville to win but they are not unbeatable. they had better play well b/c wb will give them a scare if they don't. we all know that riverdale would wipe the field with maryville in 5A. ooltewah is still a contender in 5A and if wb beat a contender in 5A then they obviously have a team to be reckoned with. you beat maryville by execution; not speed, talent or creativity. when you execute well against them, the speed and talent take care of themselves. but, maryville wins b/c they execute better than the other teams (i.e. coaching). murville--28 blount-- 17

remember Meadows coached Alcoa before. Because of that, he knows what it takes to beat maryville.

you brave fans are funny. bottom line: they choke. i'm not a william blount fan either. so, i really don't care about wb. a better example would be to say that wb beating maryville would be like the cubs winning the world series (although i don't believe this is that far fetched). just don't promote the braves as greatness. good yes, great never. red sox nation

uh......you're wrong. just b/c its close doesn't mean alcoa will lose. look back at the 2A championship; it was close and Alcoa even came from behind to win.

good example: the braves!!!! please. they choke every year.

I think Alcoa wins in a hard fought game. Alcoa 27-13

get your facts straight, he didn't break the rules. unless you were there, don't judge what you didn't witness. isn't it funny that maryville did not become a good team until the tssaa went to 5 classifications?????? have to wander that if there were only 3 classes if maryville would be winning state championships. i think not. riverdale would beat you every year; if you even got that far. as far as me being an idiot, well i will let my college degree and masters degree do the talking. oh, i almost have a doctorate as well.

its always nice to strike a nerve and see an idiot blab nonsense out of his mouth. learn to speak proper english if you are going to post a response this site. but i guess that is too much to expect. i admit, i thought alcoa was going to win but i also didn't realize they were not going to be at their best. put a star by that win because BOTH teams were not at their best. maryville is good but they are not as good as you make them out to be. the thought that there might be one player that is better than anyone on your team just absolutely abhores you. it's so funny!!!!!!!! whether you like or not, brandon warren is the best player in tennessee and that little sophomore would have realized it as well. i'm not predicting it, but it will really be funny when alcoa is winning a state championship and maryville is sitting at home with 2 or 3 losses. your qb had a fluke of a game and the te impressed me as much as the denver broncos did on sunday. it's always nice to strike a nerve!!!!! if you had beaten alcoa with warren in the game, i would give you all the credit you deserved. but they beat an alcoa team that was not at their best and you can't deny that. the rest of the state is going to figure it out as well. ohh....one more thing. our '89 team beats any of your teams.

you're full of it. listen, if warren was on the defensive line in that game maryville would not have ran the ball as well as they did. they have no one that can block him. hands down, he is the best overall player in the state. just watch him kick the ball on kickoffs. and way to make excuses for your team. if my reasoning is no good, then neither is yours. you say maryville could have shut alcoa out if they wanted too. i say that if brandon warren plays, alcoa wins.

listen, all I am saying is that Brandon Warren is a great player. no one can block him or cover him (in high school). you shouldn't get all bent out of shape about it. i'm not insulting maryville, this includes all schools. he is truly a phenominal athlete. HE DOES MORE THAN JUST CATCH AND TACKLE. that is what alot of people don't understand, he does alot for the psyche of this team. why don't you watch him play a game and then tell me that he wouldn't have made a difference. valentine and brown didn't play, good point. but they are not on the same level as warren. and by the way alcoa will beat loudon.

actually this only happens in the maryville game. maryville beat alcoa b/c mentally they have an advantage. only way that loudon can win is if they temporarily change their colors to red and black and then call themselves the rebels instead of the redskins. however i will say that the more i watch brandon warren play, the more i'm convinced that if he had played in the maryville game alcoa would have won.

Loudon is a sentimental favorite for me b/c I have a lot of family there but this game will belong to Alcoa. Anyone who watched BW and others last week dismantle Fulton would come to the same conclusion. Bottom line is that Alcoa is just too fast and talented for Loudon and the other teams in not only 2A but the state.

bottom line is that you think Maryville is good and I think Alcoa is good. And I'm pointing out that 1. You didn't beat Alcoa at their best. 2. Alcoa didn't play their best game. This game turned out exactly how I said a Maryville win would take place. It's all mental. While you guys can dominate the high school ranks, we'll take our players and influence college football (I guess you'll cheer for Dustin Lindsey when he puts on the uniform of the Vols????) and the NFL As far as Brandon slugging a person: Big joke and all I have to say is COUNTERFEITERS (your guys should be in a federal pen)

that was last year. You remember the struggles they had against FL and AL; its the same type deal

They laid down and quit. Hard for me to say but they did. If i don't know anything about football then tell me how; don't argue without backing it up. Guarantee I know this rivialry better than you

He schooled Punky with a rebuilding team. Heritage beat alcoa that year. Dalton beat Maryville 5 YEARS straight; you can't deny that

It's easy to look good when the other team quits and lays down for you. Watch out for Central, this could be their year
