Maryville has not lost since 8/26/2010 (reg season)

[Norman Dale]

I agree with you about having the best coaching staff not just in ET but in the entire state and one of the top ones in the whole South. I don't agree that they have the best players year in and year out. (Not trying to take anything away from the players either). They are an Ultimate TEAM! They know every single play exactly were to go and have trust in their teammates to be were they are suppose to be. They are the smartest football team on the field every time they play.

I'm not saying Maryville has elite talent, just much better than other ET teams as a general rule. Quarles is unquestionably an elite coach, but there is not a coach alive who could win more than 95% of their games without a major talent advantage.

I have known quite a few of maryville's players over the years and I wouldn't say they have a major talent advantage by any stretch of the imagination.

Maryville is disciplined better than any team by far. Take the State championship game for example. When they got that far behind 99% of the other teams would have thrown in the towel but Maryville played it cool and came right back to snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat. Discipline is the secret of Maryville's success. Discipline is when you get the ball with less than thirty seconds to go in the half and score a touchdown while the other team is thinking halftime is just about here .Discipline  is when your playing a team with a half dozen D-1 players and you totally take them out of their game plan to where frustration sets in and they fall apart like Oakland did last year and Blackman did the year before.

Fulton and Alcoa will really good. I think Hardin Valley,Science Hill and Dobyns Bennett will be tough also. You cant overlook Heritage,Jefferson County,William Blount and Bradley Central could surprise.

Dont forget bearden. Those Bulldogs should be improved and should surprise a couple of teams.

Like Governors91 already said the players at Maryville dont have a major talent advantage but they do have a different CULTURE than most schools in ET. Everyone time they walk on the field they play like they know they are going to win. They are a COMPLETE TEAM! They dont make mistakes because they have been properly coached since they were 5 years old and already know the expectations to be a Rebel. Ive coached against them and have seen them play mutiple times.

Do you guys think Maryville could've rung off the state titles like they have the past 15 years in the old 3 class format? I think they probably would've still been right there. Not sure if they would've won as many though. Thoughts?

Well,they had four trips to the state game and won three back in the seventies when we had the three classes

Best Alcoa team ever

 

 

Between that one and the 2009 team. 2009 team had better defense. 2010 was a little better offensively.

Forgot about Bearden. I do expect them to be much better.  It will be interesting for Maryville seeing some new teams.

Maryville will crush their regular season and early Playoffs rounds competition as usual.
