Also, enjoy having DB on the schedule for two more seasons, they almost dropped us, but we were able to keep them. They are building a new high school, combining Sullivan North, South and some of Sullivan Central, which will become West Ridge High School, a 6A School.  DB will have to play them after 2020, so they will have to drop somebody to do it, and it may be us.  They dropped Greeneville and have Tennessee High for the week before they play us this year. Look for us to have a tough game in Kingsport as they will bounce back from a tough season last year.

If they have, I haven't seen it. But when they do, I hope Gaddis has taken into account the losses of major contributors and the fact that their replacements are nothing like them (Graham, Booker, Pendergrass, and Mitchell). As I watched freshmen/JV games, I saw nothing that resembled the talent level of those guys. I hate to say it, but I see a decline on the horizon. I hope they're pretty good but I fear they will be far from great.

Disagree. OR loaded with talent; OL-better, QB-upgrade, WRs-reliable, RB-lots of options, TE-bout time we see something?, DL-strong, LB-leading tackler back, CB-have options, Safety-who knows but last year burnt often so good to see a change there.

Special teams-Need work. Hope to see the kicking game squared away. Will that LB be the punter again....will the kicker have any touchbacks????....will we be a threat in the punt return game????....

I'm excited to see the new kids earn their spots this Spring and Summer. You'd be surprised how much talent is there.

So catswild..be excited...dont hate on the new guys...change is a good thing.

To play football?

That is a very good question since I have searched the Univ. of Memphis web page and the Commercial Appeal for info on Jordan's signing or walking on and found nothing.

The only information I do have came during the TV broadcast of the TN All stars vs the GA All stars. Both Jordan and his Dad were interviewed and Jordan said he was going to Memphis and Coach Graham said he was leaving the ORHS Coaching staff so he could follow Jordan's career at Memphis. 

I hope if you have more info you will share.

I don't have any information at all. I just have never heard he was going to Memphis and I didn't see a picture or tweet about his signing a scholarship, so I just wondered.

    • Why? Low pay. Low budget thanks to the Rotary milking the programs revenue. Foul smell. There are other negative things... Positives: the players and being toward the top of the classification numbers wise.
    • What we have here is an influx of outsiders raining down on the town of Maryville like a swarm of locust trying to change our culture into the same crap they moved away from. I have no issues with anyone coming here but don't bring your politics with you. Most people around here never pay attention to the elections and keep letting the same ole rats and vermin right back in the back door and wonder why things are like they are. The problem at Maryville High is mainly due to letting outsiders get a foothold on control and shove their agenda down everyone's throat. Anyone that leaves there or let's say ranoff are replaced with an outsider with the same mindset. Eventually Maryville High will never be the same as it once was which I'm beginning to believe already but it's only chance of survival are to recruit people that will get in there and reverse the damage that has already happened.

    • Athletics is just a piece. It can help them academically, socially and add confidence. I was still 17 when I finished my first quarter at UT. I was the last to get my driver's license. It's not always just for athletics.
