What a bummer! Four plays into the MBA-HC scrimmage a lightening delay followed by a deluge  ended the event. MBA scored in 3 plays  to start the contest thanks to a beautiful 70 yard breakaway by their fine tailback and two short passes. HC ran one play,a 7 yard run by McCutchen, before the game was called. The HC frosh had a 3 to 1( I think) advantage in their scrimmage and looked pretty good.A really big crowd from Nashville followed their team to Paris which made the ending much worse. The Patriots needed the work and didn't get it.Now we have the jamboree to look forward to in a week. Good luck to both BIG REDS!!!

Yeah that was a major letdown. Oh well. We've had to wait all spring and summer. I guess one more week won't hurt. Although with the way the weather has been this summer it's legitimately worth hoping the jamboree doesn't get rained out as well. Seems like it has come a storm every afternoon for a month!!

 

I did catch the tail end of the frosh scrimmage, and it was encouraging. We look to have another plentiful and talented group over there again this year.

No offense to westview fans but even if we beat them which I'm sure we will. We know what we have on our schedule with tough teams and u can't feel really good like we are the best when we have to get over a couple of huge hurdles with liberty and centennial. Not too mention other very talented teams in gallatin Dickson county. So can't be comfortable with a win vs west view. Way more improving that has to be done to compete with big time teams

That's one of the reasons we needed the MBA scrimmage in my opinion. Truth be told, we probably would've gotten crushed yesterday (I know, I know, scrimmages aren't actual games), but in high school football sometimes it's good to get punched in the mouth during the preseason. There is no shame in it happening against somebody like MBA, and it can be a really good learning tool for a young team with lots of potential.

 

That said, we will overcome the missed practice and be fine. And Westview or not, I'm just ready to see this team in action. Here's to hoping for some good weather next Friday! We're getting yet another afternoon thunderstorm as I type this!!

I haven't heard much about Liberty during the preseason. Apparently their numbers are down this year, but it's not like a numbers advantage has helped us the last couple of years against them.

 

They have most of their skill guys back from last year on top of a really good RB transfer. That game hinges on what they have up front IMO. If they've taken a step back in the trenches then I like our chances. If not, then I don't.

      Why? Low pay. Low budget thanks to the Rotary milking the programs revenue. Foul smell. There are other negative things... Positives: the players and being toward the top of the classification numbers wise.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By BarneySox2007 · Posted

      What we have here is an influx of outsiders raining down on the town of Maryville like a swarm of locust trying to change our culture into the same crap they moved away from. I have no issues with anyone coming here but don't bring your politics with you. Most people around here never pay attention to the elections and keep letting the same ole rats and vermin right back in the back door and wonder why things are like they are. The problem at Maryville High is mainly due to letting outsiders get a foothold on control and shove their agenda down everyone's throat. Anyone that leaves there or let's say ranoff are replaced with an outsider with the same mindset. Eventually Maryville High will never be the same as it once was which I'm beginning to believe already but it's only chance of survival are to recruit people that will get in there and reverse the damage that has already happened.

      Athletics is just a piece. It can help them academically, socially and add confidence. I was still 17 when I finished my first quarter at UT. I was the last to get my driver's license. It's not always just for athletics.
