Melrose awaits Maryville

[pitw]

Just a little bait to see if the Rebs would nibble. If you are as good as you say, they should be no problem, but if you thought Memphis East was fast just wait 'til you see the Golden Wildcats. They throw the ball a little, as the 'ol ball coach would say. At 7-4, my Vols miss Stevie boy.

Melrose breath, you gotta get through Hillsboro first. Keep dreaming.

 

And now, the Rebel fans will tell you how they will pound you and everyone else who has put on a football helmet in Tennessee into the ground.

Good story East lost 33-14 and was not that fast...Anyway this is week 2 so worry about your business in OrangeMound and we will deal with Powell.

Me thinks Melrose has got a tough road to get to Maryville, if Maryville get's by a tough bracket of it's own. I think Maryville throws when they are not running through, past or around teams. I also think Overton or Tullahoma can take Melrose in this years play-off's. Maryville can and has, the past 5 years, proven they can get to the big dance. I must ask when was the last time Melrose played Maryville?? Oh I forgot that was last year! Go Rebs!

Ummm...excuse me Mr. Trott...I guess I missed on the board somewhere where Red Rebel fans made that statement about "pounding into the ground"??

 

Perhaps you could direct the message number to my/our attention?

 

It seems to me that most Red Rebel fans have been somewhat poised in reference to their competition. Maybe my "oldtimers" disease is rearing it's ugly head, but even thoough I'm biased, I don't share your view on Maryville fans on here.

 

Best of luck in the playoffs.

 

Oh, yeah....Maryville 42 Powell 23

 

Enjoy!

"I also think Overton or Tullahoma can take Melrose in this years play-off's."

 

Overton and Tullahoma won't make it that far. Besides, Hillsboro beat the Wildcats by a combined 63-0 the last two times. Overton? -- we've beaten them two straight as well.

 

"I must ask when was the last time Melrose played Maryville?? Oh I forgot that was last year! Go Rebs!"

 

And when did that happen? Me, the TSSAA and everyone else remembers Melrose never made the playoffs last year let alone the finals. Hillsboro beat M-East in the semi's and then played Maryville.

Melrose had a one year ban on the post season for the Means scandal last year...they werent even there!

[KP9481]

Albert Means went to Memphis Trezevant -- they are the ones ineligible THIS year thanks to their crooked ex-coach.

 

The Means / Lang / Trezevant scandal didn't even break till after last season was over.

[BigSneaky]

Both scandals kinda come together as you can see!

 

Among the Memphis-based violations admitted by UK was that UK assistant Claude Bassett sent $1,400 in money orders to former Melrose coach Tim Thompson to influence Thompson's players to attend the school. The Memphis School Board has deemed the money orders inappropriate and Thompson is serving a three-year suspension because of his actions.

 

The NCAA also concluded that Thompson and several recruits received free lodging, game tickets, apparel and cash from the school. It also found that a UK official paid a mini-bar tab of close to $350 for two Melrose assistants.

 

Lang is also connected to the UK violations. The NCAA concluded that a Kentucky official paid for the lodging and incidental expenses incurred by Lang and Means during a trip to Lexington in December 1999.

Maryville still has to go through Powell and probably Knoxville Central in the 3rd round of the playoffs. Maryville better not overlook neither one of those teams or they will be at home like my boys AE!

[pitw]

I thought that might stir a little interest. I think it will be great if they do play. Melrose has played a very tough schedule this year beating MUS, CBHS, and East. I'm not a Melrose fan, but they are far better this year than last.
