MHS DOMINATES

[Rebel9]

If anybody's wondering, Maryville crushed Smyrna in a preseason scrimmage. what's that say?

 

It says that you are trying to stir up some trash. Maryville didn't scrimmage Smyrna this year and you know it. Move on DL and take a break. It's basketball time for everyone now

As much as everyone talks about how they would like to see Maryville play a 5A team or one of the major D2 schools, I'd personally like to see a Maryville/Fulton game. To me at least, that would be a fun game to watch.

I thought about that game also, but I beleive Maryville has too much speed for Fulton.

Maryville doesn't have too much speed for Fulton or anyone. They just know where to be and when to be there. They do have fast players, but I have seen teams with the speed to out run them. I went to Maryville and I follow the team very closely from my Red Bank home, but they are not faster than Fulton.

I did not say they were faster.

Thats is a negative; Fulton is a team that would be very capable of beating Maryville. It would be a very good game though no matter who won. Alcoa, even though Maryville did beat them earlier has skilled enough players to also beat Maryville. Not taking anything away from Maryville; they proved they are one of if not the best team in the state Sat. evening. I really dont see anyone beating them 2 out of 3 in the state.

Everyone is capable, I just do not think Fulton would.

After listening to the announcer on the TV set after the Smyrna game, he said that Mayrville was the best team in the state. Maybe but I say that after all these years of dominace in 4A, why wouldn't Maryville move up to 5A and try to prove themselves as the best in the state in 5A? They could move up if they wanted to. But maybe they just like dominating in 4A like they have the past 10 years..... A wins a win right? Never play the biggest schools..... just a thought...

Bigger school means enrollment-11 per team at a time!

I share your frustration there FBE and that very thing has taken place on this very thread in subtle ways. That is trying to minimize Maryville's accomplihsments due to this or that. And if we defend our kids our team and our school we are accused of being arrogant and expecting everyone to bow down to Maryville. I don't expect any such thing. I just get tired of people trying to put Maryville in imaginary games, saying they would get blown out in them, and accussing them of being afraid to play them. I think MLReb, Pepvol and a few others struggle with ignoring it as we do. I know your love for the program and the reasons for it and I can relate to how you feel. It is really when people ignore us that we have to worry about though don't you think? I remember five weeks ago we played a stinker against Brainerd and people were taking bets whether it would Red Bank, Morristown West or Hillsboro to end our streak. We were tagged as vulnerable and the end was near. But we answered the bell. So lets just be gald we did and enjoy it. There are haters out there no doubt but there are also non Maryvillians who appreciate what we have been able to accomplish. Five State Champions were crowned this week and fortunately Maryville was again one of them. All four other teams accmoplishments are just as impressive and well deserved. Congratulations to all winners.

 

Thanks and your right. I meant no harm, but may have caused some. Sorry I did it. I should have just ignored the idiots!

 

This season is over. This team like many Maryville teams before it are sadly no more. I don't know if Maryville can beat Fulton or Alcoa next year should they play or not. Surly Maryville will play Alcoa, at their place. Two three-peat defending state champions in their respective classes facing off. Has that ever happened? In the paper Hillsboro said "They are coming back next year". Does Maryville have the hogs and horses to 4 Peat? Does Alcoa? Will GQ and company stay put and hungry, after all what do they have to prove?

 

It will be fun talking about it me thinks.

I actually think that Fulton would have a better chance than most against the Rebels...the main reason: they know what we're capable of. They hear about MHS absolutely all the time here in the greater Knoxville area and that makes for a more competitive atmosphere with greater familiarity. I mean, Alcoa was not the best team we played this year, and they usually aren't. But how familiar they are with MHS and the program better equips them for the competition.

 

And this is not to minimize the fact that Fulton is a great team...that would certainly help out as well

The haters will always be there. It's human nature.

 

Many of you know that I'm a fan of numbers. And I'm the guy who pretty much always points out that numbers can be made to tell whatever story you want them to tell. However, in this case, there's not much a hater can argue against the fact that Maryville has won three consecutive state titles and 45 straight games. That equals dominance by any defintion of the word, and when you stack it up against excuses and "what ifs" the facts will always prevail.

 

Go Red Rebels!

[etcoach]

I wish Maryville and all of the other state champions would have a little tournament. This way, everyone could see that Maryville would wear all of them out..even Alcoa this time around. The Rebels would beat all of them by 14 or more, guaranteed!! Remember I am not a Maryville fan, just a delusional East Tennessee biased fan.
