So Quarles vs. Rankin huh?

 

Whoo!

 

The Nature Boy is excited about this one. The Rebels finally get some revenge on a coach who led his team to bigger and better rankings. Maryville fans, be prepared, because revenge will not come this season.

 

Alcoa has something up their sleeves. The school knows it, the coaches know it, the team knows it... The News Sentinal and everybody else will know it after Friday night. Y'all know what I'm talkin about...

 

Alcoa knocks off Maryville. Both teams win state titles. The small school gets the shaft at the end of the year in the state polls.

 

Whoo!

The first and second shirts had no turnovers save for a blocked punt. I thought SD had good speed and they did a very nice job blocking that punt. Can't remember when the last time was that MHS had a punt blocked, but you can bet GQ and company have addressed that issue this morning at the coaches film review. I do also think that MHS, like many other teams, play to the level of the competion. I thought the ball presuit was pretty good, but will have to be better vs. Alcoa's speed. Maryville had three RB's who did not go down on the first hit and had no trouble lowering the sholder for the extra yard. The effort was good and having a game under the belt is a huge factor in the Alcoa vs. Maryville. Saga

 

Past years it has been Alcoa who has had a game under the belt coming into the rivaly.

 

First off Singleton has a great leg for a punter but hes not a specialist like me and taka we work on that stuff everyday, he was lined up ten yards back we your supposed to be 14 yards so give him a break hes a great running back and should continue to focus on that

I dont see Rae as a factor, the last 2 years Maryville has ran away from Brandon Warren on every play, and who did they run right at??? That would be Rae. Rae is a great athlete with a lot of potential, but he stands up way to much on defense and Maryville has used this to their advantage in the past years with their great technique on the offensive line.

 

I think the Power I formation will give Maryville some trouble. The offensive line looked really good in scrimmages and the jamboree, and not to mention the beef and hard hitting that Hicks and Stultz bring from fullback. Shivy also looked great, seems to have got a lot better. Alcoa will be successful with this, but not all game long.

 

I look at this game just like Maryville's state championship games have been in the past. Everybody thought Maryville would get beat, but the coaching staff came through for them by making good adjustments, by varying up formations and play calling, and by using some trick plays. These are the things that Alcoa must do, and it will be hard against GQ, but he is mortal, and I have confidence in Rankin and his staff.

 

Maryville fans.......what would be a good time to arrive at the stadium for a good seat, I was thinking about 530.

 

yea try about 12:30

Do you really think that is the case?? Obviously not having Baker is a loss but what about the other 3?

Two of the other three are co-starters at OLB. So now Maryville will have a 3rd teamer at OLB. Pretty tall task against Shiverdecker and Co. Also, one of the OLB's was a valued backup at RB. So now Maryville will have a sophomore at RB who weighs about 150 lbs.

How do you think it would affect Alcoa to lose Shiverdecker ( sp?) , and 2 defensive starters ? No matter what happens , there will be no excuses from Maryville's side . Funny how I'm still hearing about how Brandon Warren would have made a 4 touchdown difference though .

 

You didn't hear it come from me. Not sure how you implemented me in that. I believe my question was simply how this would effect the game. There is an old saying however, that what goes around comes around. Meaning that last year Alcoa had to deal with a suspension and this year Maryville has to deal with suspensions.

 

I still would think Maryville should win.

I wasn't talking about you , this is from some of my Alcoa buddies . The difference between this and last year Is that Coach Quarles is not fighting the TSSAA for suspending anyone , it's totally an in house disciplinarian issue . I know that some other schools would not be doing anything under the same circumstances . It wouldn't matter what the circumstances were , Coach Quarles would not be whining about suspensions , or looking into appealing a suspension . I'm glad we have a coach who realizes there's a lot more to coaching these young men than wins and losses .

    • A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.
    • Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle. 
    • I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
