At 5:48 PM on Friday, September 17, 2010 I was sitting at the intersection of Gary Hensley/Montvale and 321. I was coming down the hill from the Maryville municipal building and was waiting to cross 321. The light turned green and about 4 cars went through the intersection and then the cars in front of me stopped. I heard sirens and rolled down my window to see which direction they were coming from. Both lanes on 321 were full of cars stopped at the red light in both directions. Then I see two motorcycle officers splitting the lane of cars with full lights an sirens on. Then they enter the intersection and block all lanes of traffic. 321 has no shoulder through the City of Maryville and only has a steep curb. The vehicles at the intersection heading west were forced to move left and right to get out of the way of whatever it was coming from the east. Then I see what is causing all of this confusion at the intersection. A couple of Blount County cruisers come through, followed by two Blount County School buses and a box van that said Heritage High School on it. Then there were more Blount County Cruisers following. I pulled out the cell phone and was trying to video the whole debacle, but the password on my phone didn't allow the timely use of this technology.

 

I'm not sure which statute under the TCA (Tennessee Code Annotated) allows the endangering of the public by escorting a football team through intersections. I know it was not an emergency, even though the emergency vehicles were running with lights and sirens. They might be able to fit it in under a funeral procession, but they didn't have a Cadillac with an amber light and they didn't have the little flags nor did the buses have their lights on. :unsure::ph34r:

 

I've been stopped by one of these circus trains........... :roflolk:

Given the results, I'm sure it was a funeral precession. This is simply another example of arrogance, insecurity, and stupidity. IT'S A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME FOR PETE'S SAKE!

RedRebels,

 

I know when William Blount travels to Heritage or Maryville, they have a Blount County cruiser accompany them ... don't believe they have such a huge caravan ...nor do I believe they use sirens and lights. Do neither of the city schools use police escorts for local games?

I have never seen a motorcade type escort used by Maryville. I have lived and worked in Washington, D.C. so I have seen plenty of motorcades in my day. :thumb:

MHS used to get escorts of maybe 1 cruiser to some of the county games, but even then it was only games with large crowds expected. Also, we always get one out of town going to the state championship from the BCSO - and then the host town usually brings us from the pre-game meal to the stadium.

so i dont know where all you ignorant people get you information but ive never heard brint russell ever say anything negative about George Q. i mean seriously you all talk like your at the heritage practices and coaches meetings. i mean seriously find something better to talk about... like how about losing in another state title game after telling the world you were gonna win it all.

 

btw i love how 95% of your "high school heros" you talk about on here are all county kids. why dont you talk about how there is zero talent in the city. that for the city schools to win. they have to go else where to find talent. you should seriously send heritage and will b. thank you letters for allowing you to take there players so you can win games. cause lord knows without their kids you wouldnt be doing it.

If you stop and think about it for just a moment, they are at the practices.lol! As far as talent goes ,well COACH you ought to know what zero looks like. Just try and learn from the man instead of running him down.

Sounds like years of sour grapes,and as for the city having to go "else where to find talent". They came to us not us to them. Ever wondered why? :roll:
