Just got back from the Boro. Me,The Insider and my brother had a great time watching Maryville win the 3A Basketball championship. I am stunned. I never thought Maryville would ever win a state title in basketball.Watching the State Tourney all these years all I saw was dominant teams from the Memphis area. I guess I always thought the Ridgeways,White Stations and the Hamiltons of the world won State Titles in 3A.

 

There was no worldbeater team this year. Any of the 8 3A teams could have won the title. Maryville played extremely well. They played great defense. Aaron Douglas is a beast. No one in the tournament could handle him. Tyler Maples played great defense on the other teams best player. Maples is a winner. He is very competitive. Jordon Damron is a very good guard. He came up huge last night. Kent Basile played well in the tournament. Wes Lambert played great defense on Clarksville's top shooter. He hit some big shots. Sophomores Ryan Click and Jay Reynolds stepped up big. Clicks shot to win the game will be remembered by every Maryville fan forever. Mark Eldridge did a great job coaching this team. He kept the team calm in pressure situations. My nephew coached at Anderson County in 2005. He thinks highly of Eldridge. He says Eldridge has the same demeaner as George Quarles. After the game Quarles hugged Eldridge.

 

Tyler Maples,Derek Hunt and Aaron Douglas will have 4 rings now.

 

Another thing that made the night special was former Maryville coaches Lynn Brown and Ted Wilson being inducted into the TSSAA Hall of Fame. Those guys coached me and my brothers at Maryville. They were class acts.

 

A Clarksville fan asked me how Maryville lost 7 games. I told him that Maryville plays tough teams. Powell,Bearden,Farragut and Oak Ridge were very good teams. I told him that it took Douglas and Maples time to get used to basketball after a long football season.

 

Maryville basketball has come a long way. When I was in high school Maryville was terrible in basketball. Maryville was 2-25 my junior year.5-22 my senior year. Rockwood,Kingston,Midway and many other schools used to beat Maryville. Rule,Holston and South Young are schools that no longer exist. They used to be in Maryville's region. Maryville always got killed by those teams. I will never forget my senior year watching Rule beat Maryville at Maryville 93-40. That was embarrasing. Rodney Nelson deserves credit for upgrading Maryville basketball. He brought in the youth league system they have now. The Biddy leagues.

 

I am extremely overjoyed right now. All that I need for this basketball weekend to be complete would be for UT to make the Sweet 16. Me and the Insider stopped at TOOTS in Cookeville and watched the UT/Long Beach game.

I'm glad to see a bunch of white boys take state in Basketball. LOL. As a CHS grad I felt bad for the Cats. Not just because they lost but more for why they los.t Clarksville High played more minutes in the tourney (116 minutes!) than any other in state tourney history. Plus one of their best players has been playing sick. They looked like they were sleep walking the first half and through most of the third quarter. They weren't driving to the basketball weren't playing defense. I don't think it's amazing that they came back. It just proves how much adrenaline can help. But it wasn't enough. I'd love to see a state tourney that has a break between the semi finals and the final game. I'm pretty sure CHS would have taken it to Maryville in that case. I hate to say it but I believe the state championship was really Clarksville vs. Oakland. Maryville was able to do many things offensively that CHS normally could have held in check had they not but running on fumes. The 3-point shooting God, the blonde headed kid, would not have been aloud to get open that many times. I think the most important thing to remember, despite my thoughts that CHS is the better team, is that Maryville was good enough to take advantage of a whipped team. It was evident that they planned on taking advantage of them because they came out with such flare in the first few minutes. They were able to exploit CHS in the end and that's why they totally deserves the State Championship Trophy. My parents moved to Maryville years ago and I occasionally visit and watch the football team. I came close to moving there with them but decided to stay in Clarksville for job reasons. So it was pretty strange watching the Rebs and Cats play for the title. Very strange.

RebRon, You Sir are the class of the board I wish I could have said that. I have been sick and could not get there this weekend but the ole' big screen came through again. When Maryville in bounded the ball, under CV goal with 3.1 to go during the second overtime, I thought my heart was going to stop. Then Clicks shot!!!! Agree with others that shot will be forever etched in MHS Sports Histroy! God Bless all and go UT! Congratz Coach E and welcome home!

    • I really don’t get your point. Yes, Bearden lost two superstars, that can’t be glanced over, but if you still look at their roster, they have star talent almost everywhere. I’m sure Jones was expecting to lose players. I mean, it’s been rumored since the days they both stepped into Bearden, but I mean, they still have star talent everywhere, receiver, linebacker, safety, defensive back, running back, not to mention they have two probably top 20 quarterbacks in 6A battling it out every day for the starting position. And knowing Jones, I’m sure there will be another star talent that lands in Bearden this off-season, which, based on hearing rumors, may already be there. I’m not too sure. But Chaz and Brody will definitely hurt, but I really doubt it will affect Bearden as much as you think. Maybe during the postseason going up against teams like Oakland, but I doubt during the regular season.
    • The ironic thing is that in 13 or 14 they did the same thing to the baseball team and hired a moron to coach them and the kids refuse to play. nobody came out they changed the coach to a competent baseball coach and within 3 years went to win a  state championship.so things do hold water when it comes to these things.
    • Dingleberry needs to educate herself on Clemer’s “resume” and why he has been dismissed at a few previous positions along with his love of milf and cookies before making her final decision on the matter I do believe. He would not coach my son just from the stuff outside of the X’s and O’s. Throw the football inadequacies in the mix and it just adds to the list of reasons also. Just a really bad deal given the list of coaches that applied from across the state and beyond there is no explanation whatsoever other than agendas why he was hired. 
    • Not looking good Captain,not looking good.We had 0 Srs before all this and had a decent amount of Sophmores and 4 or 5 Jrs.Now I heard we have about 14 kids I have not confirmed that and honestly I don't think I will go any further with it.What the community wants and what the faithful supporters along with players and parents it doesn't matter.The Loudon School board made the decision for us and it has killed our program.Folks can say butt hurt whiners whatever they want to but we are a very proud Community and expect the BEST choices to be made from our Administration and that's just not the case.I was at a Basketball game this winter for my grandkids and ran into a former teammate of mine that I actually coached youth league with for a number of years and he told me they were over 100 applications turned in and they hired the best friend of the School board Member who suggested him.He has even reached out to try to help the guy and he refused so here we are going into the fourth season of bad football.GB since 1985 has not had 3 consecutive bad seasons,now we are facing 4 with no help in sight.How are we supposed to get behind such incompetence?Dingle berry says we sound like Democrats lol.Democrats accept all the crazy and weirdness in this world and just roll with it.Im no Democrat.I'm also tired of fighting for something that our say so holds to water.
