Maryville just won their 600th game since 1926 and the Maryville/Alcoa rivalry is in it's 77th year.

 

The first game was played in 1927...it should have been an omen for Alcoa fans as Maryville blanked Alcoa 18-0.

 

Not many rivalries that old. :D

 

Here's a link to interesting facts and records of that series...

Pride ... that Dresden vs. Westview rivalry is within Weakley County and I've been to one of those games ... hard hitting no matter who has the advantage ... geez ... those kids go out for blood!

 

Milan has some superb rivalries!! Milan and Humboldt used to be superb ... but I feel like its lost some glory with the Huntingdon vs. Milan game taking the forefront in the last couple years.

 

Union City vs. Obion County ... traditional rivalry. Definitely not friends during that week of the season.

 

Anyone got any news on JCS and USJ? They still love each other right? :thumb:

The ending of this rivalry had to do with one person's ego overshadowing all of the tradition and hard fought games...AD Mike Sims.  Money or not, he thinks he is bigger than any tradition, and I can not believe someone with the integrity of Superintendant Wayne Miller would let this happen.  Football will continue for one more year, and the rest of the sports are never to play eachother again.  Sims will not even allow a scrimmage between any LC and Loudon teams.  How does this man still have a job?

That's a shame. It is one of the neatest rivalries I have seen. All the food collected and seeing the kids run the football to the other school in time for kickoff is one of the best traditions I have ever seen.

Union County has never, never beaten Gibbs in a Football Game. They have wins in other sports but never in Football. They came close in 1982 but no win. Go up there and wear them out. It will be one of the 4 wins that you get. Other wins are Rutledge, Claiborne Co, and CAK. Good Luck and have a Great Year--in spite of the lack of coaching at Gibbs.

 

By the way in order to have a rivalry you have to have two teams that have a chance to win. Not in this case. Union Co needs to drop Football.

hmmm...methinks you're a little premature on the prediction for all those wins, especially since UC doesn't fare too well away from Maynardville...that and CAK has already thrashed them.

    • A little confused.  What charter/prep schools made it to state in Baseball?  
    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.
