Could Fulton compete or beat Maryville?

[TinPigskin]

And once again, it's not about who-beat-who-by-how-much. Scores tell the story of one game. If you wanna go there, we beat York 45-7 and Upperman beat York 56-0. How did that turn out? Alcoa 75, Upperman 18.

It's about the MATCHUP.

I concede. The MATCHUP of Maryville and Hardin Valley only ended 13 points in Maryville's favor, but Fulton would be lucky to stay within 4 TDs. The Falcons just don't seem to match up well with most teams. They were fortunate to come across Farragut, and as a result, they humiliated them

Finally common sense kicks in!!

Yes, RunninRebels.  I provided the scores for you, because you were apparently oblivious to the outcomes of the West/Farragut game compared to the Fulton/Farragut game.  As indicated by a fairly close game compared with a complete blowout, apparently West and Fulton are not on the same level as you imply.  And imagine how good Fulton would have been last year if Rollins-Davis had not missed time due to an injury....

Anderson County scored 64 points on Karns and West only scored 39. I guess West doesn't have an explosive offense like those Mavs!

Depends on how many points the Mavericks scored on defense and special teams

See you all in Cookeville.

 

Clowns.

IIRC we scored 14 on special teams and defense. And our offense can be very explosive thank you very much .

If Maryville had been playing Fulton last week, Maryville would've lost.

Murvil should run off that coach.

All of them scrub coaches! But no one else would hire them.

I would LOVE for Gaylor to come back to Clinton.

Rodney King is rolling in is grave saying...

 

"Can't we all get along and cheer for each other in Cookeville...?"

[MurvulHigh]

Okay seriously now... I don't know enough about Fulton to say much one way or the other about how they'd do based on their own merits. I will say this, if you ask most Maryville folks, they're going to say that you're not going to beat Maryville by out-scheming or out-executing them. That's the whole point of pride about being a precision machine thing, everyone knows exactly what their job is and goes and does it without screwing up, game after game, year in and year out.

 

In recent history when Maryville loses a big game, it seems like it's almost always because they come up against a team with overwhelming talent, some player there's just no answer for. It's been that way since way before Coach Quarles, too. When Don Story was coach Maryville had a fine team in 1986 that didn't lose a game, except two against an Austin East team that'd later put Leroy Thompson in the NFL. When Tim Hammontree was coach, Maryville lost a title game to a Pearl Cohn team that had Santonio Beard and John Henderson on it. More recently, Mark Dodson looked pretty unstoppable for Whitehaven.

 

I would absolutely love to see Maryville play more games against teams that could go toe to toe based on X's and O's, just a solid bunch of kids who play fundamentally sound ball, with maybe a sprinking of standout D1-type athletes from time to time. Is Fulton one of those? Y'all tell me! I genuinely don't know. That 2009 game that Maryville lost to Alcoa, where the Tornados basically said "hey we're going to just run it down your throat and there's nothing you can do about it"? That's about the last time I can think of that Maryville was just plain whipped, and not out-athleted at some skill position.

 

Anyway I'm with Photoman lol, just happy to see another dominant team out of the east. Other than knowing Xavier Hawkins went to Oregon State, and that Fulton's third string seems to put up as many points as their first against most teams, I don't know much about them.
