What rankings. We have won the last 3 titles and never been ranked number 1. To be honest that is how we like it.

No doubt! Yea, it appears the voters look at records, apparently schedule is not really considered.  If so, you guys should always be at the top. Of course I know that championships are all that matters, but still.

I don't get why everyone is automatically trying to say that Dubois is the favorite now. Yes Mitchell lacks the bonafied scorer that they've had in the past 3 gold ball quests but i still think the system Mitchell runs will break Dubois. Coach Turner will live with the volleyball line shot attempts and won't allow them to start fast breaks off rebounds as they have done so much this year against the teams they have hung 100 on. They shot it well but not contested well, they don't have a Tyler Harris out there. Hopefully we get the match up during the division tourney. Grad academy is tough too, they are a very scrappy bunch and can beat anyone in A with a little home cooking. But also i wouldnt rule out UC either, they have 8 loses already but only one of those came to an in state opponent, you can't penalize a team because they have played better competition than others. But all in all the AP sucks

TonyG, I hadn't seen them play, of course I was looking at their scores.  Man, I know Memphis has ALOT of talent which is scary for us in Humboldt.  Only a month or so before district tournaments start. it's always super tough getting out of the West.  I'm pulling hard for my Vikings though!  Good luck on yalls season.

It won't take but maybe 5 minutes of watching the games on youtube and you'll be able to dissect their playing style. There was an interesting article in the commercial appeal today also with the coach referencing where he got the playing style from. I'll post it below. Goodluck to all the scrappy guys of A.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By strongx · Posted

      Sorry Barn. I wasn’t specific enough. It seems I’m always protecting the principal at 825. My interactions with her have been extremely positive, but very limited. With all the other stories being told, I’m confident there are other sides I am not aware of. Regardless, there are lots of decent people earning good checks up there. Maybe too good, which explains why no one is willing to speak up. My beef is with the poor communication among the athletic programs and with the administration. Seven years ago the poor communication led to my son missing graduation due to a sporting event that was planned months before. I chalked it up to the system being totally shocked that the baseball team made it out of their district, and our then AD was a football coach. Maybe they were surprised and did not plan appropriately. That was more palatable than they just didn’t give a crap. Déjà vu, seven years later, same thing. Different administration, but same result.  Maybe in seven more years, it will actually be “about the kids”. They should do better.

      That's a fair line. But if it's not over, that's a big problem.

      RR, you think that changes this year, or at least improves? I know they had a couple of talented young receivers last year that made some plays later in the year. Defensive back was a struggle against any team that was above average at throwing the ball.

      You would think with football just three months away more would be talking. There's only so much a person can say about someone allowing the field to get painted without asking their boss who would have said ((((((((  ALE NO ))))))))) or all the other BULLS#!T they've done as they lead Maryville High into the new age of WOKE in a conversative town. I'm ready for some football news without hearing something coming out of 825 that Power Munger has done to cap off the week.
