Mondo-safety was at the scoreboard end of the field, missed field goal was at the opposite end.  Funny story one of my best friends is the guy who missed the field goal.  One morning i was going fishing and meeting him at his house and I ran into Ed Rice (country ham master) at the gas station and he had been to the gallatin/mj game the night before (maybe 2012???) and knew that I was on the team for the 2-0 game.  Was talking about how good of a game it was and then got on the 2-0 game.  He said "I was standing in the corner of the end zone and that boy kicked the ball to me."  I laughed all the way to my buddies house and told him about it.  He had some choice words for Mr. Rice

The 2-0 game in my opinion was not only the game of the year but the two best teams in the state that year in old AAA.

No arguments there. Not knowing any better we didn't arrive until game time and had to stand at the back of the 5 deep that surrounded the stadium.  Gallatin suppporters can answer this one, what was the largest crowd ever at the Waveyard? I was in high school when they played JCM at Rothrock Stadium in Jackson in the mid 70's in what was reported the largest crowd ever to see a game in West TN outside of Memphis.

Mondo, that game with Mt Juliet might be the most famous game ever played at the Waveyard.  10000 was the attendance between the then ranked #1 and #2 team.  Unfortunately that was just a hair before my time.  Only ones to come close were the 89' game versus Whites Creek in the playoffs.  They brought in extra bleachers for the end zone and they were packed.  And the Stratford game in 91' in the playoffs.  It was billed as Nashville vs Gallatin.  Both of those games were said to have around 10000 as well.  With that many people with no track makes one loud atmosphere.

    • Yeah, I read about their spring blue/gray scrimmage after I typed that.   Sounds like a real mess over there.  I just hate that for 'em.  Haw
    • Maybe OR will be, but Farragut, nah, I don’t think anybody realizes how much of a bad situation that program is in currently. I’m sure they will build out of it, but the next 3 to 4 years are going to be a long climb up.
    • Thats one of the problems of having an 8-team region. A team could make it in any other region, but the numbers work against them in this one. 
    • 1A: Brayden Baker - Eagleville Rylan Collins - Lookout Valley Luke Treece - Coalfield   2A: Carter Daniel - Loretto Gray Eubanks - Huntingdon Trevan Myers - Pigeon Forge   3A: Gabe Eddington - Montgomery Central Carson Parrott - Livingston Academy Jaxon Walker - Loudon   4A: Eli Evans - Farragut Andrew Hill - Central  Brady Scott - Sevier County   Division II-A: Wesley Alig - CAK Cooper Jones - Boyd Buchanan Gunner Skelton - Columbia Academy   Division II-AA Brock Beddingfield - CPA Dominic Monaco - Brentwood Academy Tomas Valincius - Baylor
    • MTD (Stanley Black and Decker) and UTM are the only thing keeping Westview's numbers up. Are school enrollments dropping in those listed schools too or just athletic rosters?
