No comments from Gilbert in the article. 

 

Maryville had a transfer from West Virginia a few years back. He wore his old high school football t-shirt to workouts and immediately gained the nickname "Nitro" because his old school was Nitro High School. I remember hearing the coaches yelling, "Nitro" when it was his time to go in the game. 

West Virginia gives, and West Virginia takes away...

I think the Maryville/Alcoa Daily Times reads the T! Here is a followup article:

This is my two cents on losing your best player. It's common knowledge kids know everything when they turn 18 years old especially the ones that are to big to follow the rules at home and want to go where the leash is the longest. From all my experience and wisdom over the years from watching so many great teams from Maryville that it was much better to have a big question mark going into the season as to be expected to win it all the next year no questions asked. That crap goes to kids heads and the best thing that may have happened did.  I personally hate seeing an 18 year old on the field of play as a senior especially if their much better than the rest. I've already heard, well there goes that game from some Greenback fans. The team will pick up the pieces and will be much better for it.

I like your way of thinking Barney! Coming from a mom whose Junior just turned 16 last month and finally started driving himself! Never met a true Cherokee at heart that didn’t love a good challenge!

    • 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"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • 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!
