Not sure who wins but the final will be 2-0 just like the early 80's.  My roommate at MTSU was an MJ graduate and talked me into going to that game.  Was stationed on the goal line on the MJ side on t

I also was there and was lucky to have a seat at the 50 yard line top row on the visitors side..I still believe that was the state championship game that year !

Games like these are what I love most about high school football. Traditional games, close games, and great crowds when there is a lot on the line between these two teams. They both met as undefeated'

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.

      RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
