Absolutely. They were big, fast, always in position, and swarmed the ball in numbers. When they got to you, they delivered a shot, and the rest didn't take it for granted that their teammate had the tackle made, they wanted to hit you before the whistle blew too. Very few teams that I've ever seen in person could check all the boxes that I've mentioned without leaving the impression that they "played dirty" or would cheap shot someone if they had the chance, but the Tigers were classy in the way they went about business... I'm sure that there's film still out there on them from '16 if you want to see it for yourselves. We (SH) had a very potent offense that year and managed only two touchdowns in two games against them.

Sounds liek you are reading form a John Feinstein book

Like I said, look at the video. I know that it sounds like an embellishment, but trust me that it's the truth. If there's no video available, you can go back to the '16 season team schedule on here and look at the scores, then look at the scores of the teams for the season that they faced.

Matter of fact, I'll do that for us and edit this post when I'm finished... I'm curious now myself.

Edit

OK... here's what I found.

In 14 games Waverly averaged giving up 18 points a game to 10 playoff teams, three of which were 3AAA and their loss to Trez. Since most of their games were blowout wins, you'd have to assume that at least some of the points given up were on the second team.

They gave up 14 to us in the playoffs after we averaged almost 40 per game against 1A semifinalist Wayne Co, Riverside, Lewis Co. (twice), and #1 ranked Adamsville, among eight playoff teams that year.

Believe that they were as great as advertised or not... you have to admit that the numbers against very good competition says that they were at least very good.

    • Dyersburg may win back to back to back championships. They are going to be hands down the best 3A team. Plus their District/region/sectionals are not very good. They basically just have to make it to region out of a 5 team district that has a few decent teams. South Gibson will be okay but they graduate their best player and there is nobody in the region 7 or region 8 who is going to compete with them. 
    • I remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.  
    • Hoping to make the playoffs.
    • You are so correct!  It’s really 99.9% of academia want to change to way that education is not only taught but the way it is viewed.  The pendulum has definitely swung as far to the left as possible and eventually will swing to the right much too far.  I have always  said that politics and one’s personal religious views need to stay out of education,  but for the last 40 years education has been running full throttle to what we have today.  If the social experiment that we are currently experiencing continues it is only a matter of time before the public school system in the USA completely collapses and all kids attend private schools or even worse don’t go to school.
