Best high school game you've ever watched

[Pudding]

Two close ones for me....

 

1. Sullivan South downs Greeneville in a back and forth game in 2009, one week after losing their captain Jake Logue on the field at Knox West to open the season. So much emotion in the air, you could have cut it with a knife.

 

2. Dobyns Bennett over Science Hill this year 37-34, 2012. Packed house and two very athletic, pretty even teams. Big fun.

York vs. Smith in the quarterfinals. York scores on fourth down play from about 50-60 yards away, then goes for 2-point conversion to win at Smith County. Don't quite remember every detail, but was great game.

One was a game I played in, the other was one I watched when I was a kid in 1989. The game I played in was Maryville vs. Powell in 1995. Powell had a good team that year & we (Maryville) were undefeated going into the game. A win would clinch our 1st Region/District title in close to 10 years, Powell was a heated rivalry then for us. We recovered a fumble snap from Collin Steen to regain possession late in the game, converted a 4 & long to get in scoring position, the hit an inside revers hand-off to current Alcoa assistant (David Sweetland) to pull ahead with 30 seconds left on the clock. Talk about gut wrencher!!!

The other was the Alcoa vs. Austin East regular season game in 1989 at A-E. That was one of the biggest crowds outside of a Maryville-Alcoa game I've ever seen. Alcoa was loaded that year with Billy Williams, Shannon Mitchell, Rusty Chambers, Chad Jackson, etc. Austin East was as dominant as ever & had spanked Maryville consistently during that era. The game went to overtime & Billy Williams blocked a late kick to seal the game. Vaulted himself off one of the lineman’s back & got high enough to block the kick. Sent the Alcoa sidelines into a frenzy!!

Spanky, you might have played with my one of my cousins on my mom's side (David Henderson). Interestingly enough, he & another cousin on my dad's side (Jay Malone) are good friends even though they didn't play together at Maryville. Davidtold me the story of how good Leroy was & wished he would have went to UT instead of Penn State.

I havent seen many (all being for SGC) but I have two favorites (We've only have had 12 varsity games)

 

West Carroll @ South Gibson County 2011- SGC's first ever varsity football win, and won via 2-Point conversion! A 20 to 19 win.

 

or

 

South Gibson County @ Milan 2012- Also a 20 to 19 win for South Gibson our first time beating our rival ever and on their own turf. Defiantly the biggest win in school history, and a great game from both oppositions.

CAK Alcoa playoff game 2012. CAK 38 Alcoa 36. Exciting through and through ending with CAK stopping Alcoa's 2pt conversion attempt at end of game preventing OT.
