They also had the fastest baseball player in Chad Davis

 

Cleveland High School football has one of the best programs in the state (Not THE best, but one of the best).

2001 riverdale team was nasty with stephen brittion, ralph king, taron henry, and kenyon buford. that was just on offense.

I might be wrong here but I think that if we are picking the top 5, 10, whatever, number of greatest TN teams ever that the number of DI signees, Future NFL players, etc. doesn't matter at all. Sure it sounds nice to say that the roster was beefed up with some studs, but a team should be judged on whether or not it won, how it won, who it beat, State Championships, National Rankings(maybe-it'd be a shame to say a team was the best ever based solely on a worthless national ranking) and the era in which it played. It's hard to compare teams from several years ago and back because of classification changes and whatever. Needless to say I'm a firm believer that Tennessee is home to some of the best high school football in the country.

When did Hickey play for MSU and Styles for UT? Not saying they didn't I don't remember them playing anywhere after high school though.

Cleveland won those titles from 1993-95. In 96 they lost to Anderson County.I was at that Anderson County vs Cleveland game.

[VitaVol]

Alcoa's 89 team was the best team to ever come out of Blount County.

 

Old Knoxville High won several "National Championships" in high school football back in the 30's and 40's.

[REBELRON]

Maryville's 2002 or 1998 team was better than Alcoa's 1989 team.

I can attest to Maryville's '02 greatness. They had to be extraordinary to compete with Hillsboro's stacked backfield/line.

98 team was even better. Nobody ran the ball on Maryville that year. 98 team had no weakness. They had a very good quarterback(Toki McCray),The best offensive line I ever saw,Some good running backs,Good receivers,Strong defensive front,Very good linebackers and a very good secondary.They also had a great kicking game.

 

I give them the nod over 2002 because of better run defense and better kicking game.
