Not taking anything away from Maryville. I'm taking it away from those who hand them the championship before the season starts. I'm sure Coach Quarles himself would question the reasoning of the poster who said they'll win 3 or 4 years from now.

Don't make me list the teams from years past who took down Goliath because they didn't drink the Kool-Aid. You know I will.

Crap. I meant to not get back in this argument. But it is too easy to win, so I couldn't resist.

I never said they would win 3 or 4 years from now - I said if they make the finals in 2014 2015 and 2016 - I'd bet on them to win it in 2018. Well at least you called them Goliath - you are starting to see the current state of 6A football in Tennessee. If you want to change the current state, bring a team of coaches, players, faculty, facilities, fans, boosters and one of the strongest youth programs and traditions in the state. Reading the little engine that could over and over again will not help.

 

After thought - while your listing the Davids that took down Goliaths, could you also list all the Davids they got flat crushed? That should be a much easier list to compile - but probably much longer.

I think I can. I think I can.

 

You've changed my mind.

 

That has never happened to me and I have to admit it feels kinda weird.

 

Maryville is unbeatable. It's not that everyone else is so inferior. It's that Maryville is so superior! I must admit I never looked at it like that but I see your point.

I do like your sarcasm, a man after my own heart.

 

I just find it humorous that you want to tell the teams that face them year in and year out that the only reason they can't slay the giant is because they just don't have enough faith. Can you truly not see the flaw in that logic? 70-4 over the last 5 seasons and it all comes down to teams are defeating themselves with poor attitudes and low self esteem? Maryville has lost before an they will lose again, but it will be to a well prepared team with talent, coaching and heart. You will have to beat them, they usually do not beat themselves.

No. Before I changed my mind, I didn't think teams are losing from lack of faith. I thought they were losing because they knew that Maryville couldn't be beat. I thought a capable team would lose because they thought Maryville would win. I thought that surely there was a capable team somewhere.

 

It feels so wonderful to be free from those thoughts and I have you to thank.

 

Had fun with this but I really should get back on topic and start talking about the 5A game. Good luck with your team. Seriously.

    • Best-of-three sectional series vs East Robertson at home starting Wednesday.  They put us out last year at this point.  Go Pirates!!
    • I don't believe they have anyone that is surbers caliber but a decent staff overall.
    • Richland plays at McKenzie on Wed.  Should be a good series.  Does Richland have good pitching?  
    • Congratulations to the Warrior baseball team winning the Region Championship.  Last night the football team beat Franklin Co 33-0 in their spring scrimmage. Warriors looked very good. Missing a few players who were playing baseball but still absolutely dominated. A lot of young ones got in halfway through the 3rd when the score reached 33-0. QB Tilton Pickett looked very sharp.  Sam Pickett is on another level this season. Seems to have put on 15 to 20 lbs in the off season and added a step as well. Transfer from last year Williamson caught numerous balls and is very elusive. Lots of athletes on this team. Defense was smothering and will only get better. The head coach from Sewanee was in attendance and offered 2 kids after the game. Could be a special year.
