Maryville should be the standard to which everyone compares themselves. They play 3 potential state championship in the first half of the season. Any of those teams would mollywhop the 3 teams you mentioned. Just because they are 6A doesn't mean they are good. I'd much rather go 6-4 and make a run in the playoffs then go 10-0 and get upset in the 1st Round. Ask DB, it's not a good feeling

You guys got one of the quickest backs in the state on your roster, Gaddis will find a way to get him the ball, regardless of the quality of OL

# 8 tweeted that it is hard being a RB but playing WR.

Team picture came out today

Glad to see #40 Jaxon Adams. Thought he was moving. Also, where did #66 come from. Big boy. Never heard of him.

7 more days till kick-off.

Yes, good to have Jaxon around.  He should be a big help.  #66 is a transfer from Texas and is a Soph.  Still lots of work to do to be ready for Hardin Valley.

Texas? I sure hope he plays like those guys down there play. Too bad we can't get a  recruiting pipeline from Texas, Florida and Georgia. Just kidding, I like winning with local guys.

PRAYERS NEEDED...Tee Higgins has suffered a hamstring injury and is practicing in a yellow jersey. Coach Dabo says there is no timeline set for his return. You know I have a bromance with Tee so keep me in your prayers because this news is devastating.  JUST KIDDING. My guess is Tee will be fine but say a prayer anyway for him.

Caleb Martin sounds positive in his Tweets from Eastern Kentucky University. 

I just read an article on Harden Valley and it has me worried. The Hawks were 5 - 5 last season but those 5 defeats were by a total of 10 points. We beat them by one and they could have been 10 - 0 easily. They lost their great RB but the QB is supposed to be a stud. We will have our hands full next Thursday but RWR!

The battle in the trenches will determine this one....our offensive line has lots of room for improvement and the defensive line is in the same boat. Our linemen would qualify in weight to play at the boys club.

Just be glad Knox Central isn't on your schedule. It was 21-21 at halftime against them in a scrimmage Tuesday in maryville. I know scrimmages don't tell much but they have a great receiver that can flat out burn you and their line is pretty big and gets the job done.

I never put much stock in scrimmages because you don't know how much coaches prepare for them or if they prepare at all. I really hope we play Central because that means we've reached the semifinals. Central may be pretty good but their road is easy compared to our team. They have to beat South Doyle and that's about it. We will have to likely beat West, Fulton (maybe twice), Soddy, Rhea County, and Catholic.

    • I think the OC is a guy the he brought from Fulton with him. I am not sure though. I have heard a lot of conflicting information. It seems like a couple of coaches that he hired have since been let go.

    • If someone needed their grades pumped up surley it would have to be for someone needing it to get to another level. If your intending on going to work right after high school it wouldn't matter. Why would someone in their right mind think if they screwed it up in high school that their ready for college. It has to be for an athlete to get them over the fence to get in and from that point the school their going to will cheat them through the rest of the way for their athletic skills just like the rest.
    • The new school will be on that road behind Home Depot next to a church. I'm wondering if this could take from Greenback or could it be the end of Greenback, they only have 200 students.
    • Yeah it will take the county kids in that area that were going to lenior city. They will move down to 4a I think
