Hey Shock...I hope we eat early Friday...I can't miss the re-match. I may have to pass on the pumpkin pie so I can get to the game on time...lol. See you soon.

We are hearing about 2, so that probably means we will start around 4. Not looking good for either of us to get good seats at the games, lol. Wait, u have those special reserved seats, right? lol. Maybe we can get our food early or just sample as it comes in the door on our way out.

Understanding my hopeless subjectivity, I've decided to stop waiting around for somebody else to say what I think must be said about the 2011 class of Rebels. What has consistently been said is that the talent in this bunch is "down" from previous and subsequent years. No stars. No recruits. The gap in an otherwise unbroken string of stellar groups of gridiron greats. There is a a measure of truth to some of this. What started out as the biggest freshman class is now the smallest. Yes they got hammered in the 8th grade by Alcoa (who hasn't gotten hammered by this Alcoa bunch - a team I maintain that top to bottom is the best I've seen in Tennessee history ever and I've seen some good ones). But mostly I think this mentality toward the senior class is way, way overblown.

 

Let me be specific.

 

Stian Romberg has simply worked his tail off in the classroom, on the basketball court, the weight room and the football field. He's now being recruited by major D1 schools as well as the Ivy League. He represents the very best of Maryville tradition in every way.

 

Preston Burnett ranks among the speediest in Maryville football legend. Made some great plays for us this year, who knows what he could have accomplished with more touches.

 

Dez Horne is getting looks from colleges and rightly so. He's fought through a couple of tough injuries this season and may yet prove to be a game breaker. Did you see him run across the field Friday night to make a devastating block that sprung Prevo for another 10-12 yards? Amazing speed and selfless effort. Refreshing in a world of prima donna receivers.

 

Ditto with Clarence Langley. His quiet, hard working way makes him the prototypical Maryville player.

 

Jared Miller did nothing short of reinvent himself into a seriously bulked up DE when it became apparent that the Rebels were stacked ahead of and behind him at qb. Bet you didn't realize that he's also been a holder since middle school and owns a piece of Tennessee football history in the form of two placekicking records. More on that in a moment.

 

Dalton Graumann is the poster boy for Maryville football. Great attitude. Works hard. Fantastic family. He makes everybody around him better.

 

Nick Coode is the greatest team leader you've never heard of. Don't tell him he's undersized. On second thought, go ahead and tell him. He'll use it as rocket fuel.

 

Tommy Wilkinson would also be considered undersized in every way but heart. He is a madman on D, and is quite simply the most consistent long snapper I've ever seen in high school. Along with Jared Miller, he's a huge reason that Maryville special teams are so special.

 

Austin Canfield probably has the most underrated arm of any Maryville qb ever and is a kid you want your daughter to marry.

 

Zach Sharp - yep he's mine. Any other position besides kicker and everyone would know his stats. Here's a sample: most consecutive PAT's in state history (111). Tied for 2nd in state history for field goals made (32). His 71 yard kickoff average is about 13 yards better than Michael Palardy at UT and with significantly better hang time. Set almost every kicking record at MHS including most career points (246), most field goals, most PAT's (149) longest field goal and with one more point will tie the all time kicking points in a season total of 89. In addition to being a Mr. Football finalist and ranked 16 in the country on Kohlskicking.com, he will start his 59th game Friday night (which I'm told by someone who'd know is a Maryville 1st and quite possibly a state 1st).

 

Not bad for a "down year."

There are hundreds of teams that would take this as a down year. CONGRATS to this fine bunch of REBELS! :thumb:

      Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.

      It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.

      That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.

      Trez's last scandal has died down, so I guess this is there opportunity to be the best 4A team playing in 2A a la Sissy MTN.  At least they won't be in a Z-district with 1a teams in the regular season.

      Facts...until someone takes down the Rebels they should be the favorite. Got loads of young guys salivating at the opportunity to prove themselves and get a 3peat! Blazer how is Region 1 looking this year?
