I went to the game and came away very impressed with the Rebels.

 

Maples is smooth on his routes, great hands, and deceptive speed.

 

Maryville's Dline and LB's dominated.

 

Maryville's Oline gave the QB's plenty of protection so Maple's could finish the routes.

 

The whole team is so fundamentally sound and the plays were called to perfection.

Congratulations to Maryville for doing it (again). Was surprised Hillsboro wasn't able to stay with them.

 

I realize this is a football forum, but I have to point out one thing: Everybody talks about how much class MHS has (and, I agree), but:

Their cheerleaders were cheering their little hearts out (and I'm not a big cheerleader fan) and the band would just start playing. They'd play during plays, and before plays and not get through when the play started. Their band sounds great, looks great, but good grief!!! I actually felt sorry for the cheerleaders who had to stop their cheer and succomb to the band. I thought it was common courtesy to stop playing when the play on the field started. And, it wasn't when HHS had the ball, it didn't matter who had the ball!

Okay, I've said my peace.

 

Again, Congrats to MHS for bringing another gold ball back where it belongs (in Blount County)!

No kidding. I find that really amazing. A Southern school using a Catholic university's song. I'd really love to hear the reason. I bet there is a very interesting a neat story behind it. At least it might be interesting and "neat" to me, and that is really all that matters. No kidding. I'd love to know th story. Probably a nun or priest in there somewhere. Or maybe a former dormer spreading he good word down south.

 

 

Religon has nothing to do with it.

 

It's just great football music.

 

Reguards to the Board,

I think we need to explore the fact that Meadows picked Hillsboro over Maryville on live TV (that gets replayed over and over and over). Stanton Stevens was on there too. He said that Hillboro was good and might be able to beat Maryville, but he picked Maryville. Meadows said something about, calling a coaching friend in Middle Tennessee who knew about Hillsboro and then he made his pick Hillsboro. Then he just kinda sat there and mumbled. And smirked. Didn't come across too well on the tube. I don't think Mark Packer could believe it. This little episode was mentioned to the team during practice this week.

Maybe he was picking from his heart rather than his brain. Nah, he was probably picking from both. His friend is about as knowlegable as he is though thats for sure. Just another reason to drop them from the schedule.

Hard to believe someone making such a big deal over this. Since we are in the south we are suppose to hate catholics? Some of my very good friends are Catholic. And if he thinks we are the first high school to borrow a major University's fight song he has not been to many high school football games. I started watching football at Maryville when I was six or seven. One day after church I came home to find the Notre Dame playback with the great Lindsey Nelson on TV. As soon as they scored the first td I looked at my dad and said, "hey they are playing Maryville's fight song". Dad of course, set me straight.

Last night in the Smyrna-Ravenwood game the bands played the whole time..If Ravenwood had the ball Smyrna's band would play continuously and vice versa....And Smyrna's band is REAL loud!!

I don't think it is worth exploring besides what does Meadows know about winning football? He fell into one good situation at Alcoa a few years ago. Since then he has done what? Very little when it comes to winning.

 

He can pick who he wants to pick.

      Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.

      I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.

      Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.
