Congrats to Alcoa and Maryville

[mcwrestler]

Both teams made history this weekend. Alcoa was the first team to win 4 in a row. The very next day Maryville claimed number 4, and did it with a group of seniors that have never left the field with a loss. This was the first year I was able to stay and watch Maryville and I was glad I could.

 

This has been a record setting weekend for these 2 schools. Both have achieved Dynasty status and #5 could be coming to both. It truly is a special thing that has happened and I am glad I witnessed both in person.

congradulations to both schools. really makes me wish rutherford county played at more classifications than just 5A (six 5A schools with atleast one more on the way). i think we could have some nice dynasties as well (other than riverdale and the recent success smyrna is experiencing).

 

rutherford county has won 6 out of the last 11 titles in 5A. have appeared in 12 of the last 15 title games in 5A. i think we could be perfect to rival blount county. with the growth here every year, our school board would never even consider building a school that was any smaller than 5A, so i guess we will never know.

No disrespect to small schools or anything but I think I would always try to build 5A schools if I could, too. I went to some 2A games this year - Cumberland Gap plays at 2A, and I live close to there - and I felt so terrible for a lot of 2A teams that they played. They seemed so hopelessly outnumbered.

 

Of course it's a different story when they finally get into the playoffs, but still.

 

And I wish sometimes that Alcoa would be a bigger school than a 2A school as well. They probably could beat most 5A and 4A teams in the state, but they have such a small stadium (though it's been added on to recently) and school.
