Powell has the best skills players on one team that I’ve seen collectively since Alcoa with Cobb, Lindsey, Warren. Egos and injuries is the only thing that will stop Powell this year. 
 

Yeah I thought the same thing when Alcoa played Murval last yr and had (starting players) 10-D1 and 4-d2 players on the field for us. Murval had like 5-6 college kids on the field. No way Murval wins no way

we lost 14-9

Would it be an upset?  On paper Powell is FAR better than Maryville IMO.  Your are right though, Maryville def. has the edge when it comes to the coaching.  Maryville wins 95% of there games due to the coaches game plan, and halftime adjustments.   Def will be a good game!

My guess, Maryville will play  control the clock on offense and frustrate Powell by keeping Potts and WR off the field. Making Powell press for the big play. You know a trick play will be in the calls, just can it be timed right. If Maryville wins it'll be on the headsets and not the field.

Wonder why they didn't play  .. possible still trying to get them eligible?? What about the 2 Wr's that were caught with weed at school .. they play???

They have been cleared by TSSAA a long time ago.  There first day at practice was last Thursday.  They have to do 5 days of heat acclimation per TSSAA and yesterday was the last day of them sitting out.  So we can all stop with the speculation.  lol

On paper they're better? You sound like Rory Gibbs...

And by the way, just a suggestion here.  

As somebody with ties and a history to both programs and one who wants to see both do well, my advice is to be careful about blanket statements like this.  Maryville is good enough as is.  There is no reason to give them any additional bulletin board material.  

And the saying about not playing the game on paper is very much true.  That said, Maryville is not a bunch of slepps.  There is a lot of talent on that roster, several kids verbally committed already to both FBS and FCS programs and more with offers.  When you start going position by position it that "paper gap" isn't quite as wide as one might think.  

Both teams are expected to do well in their respective classifications this year.  Let's just look forward to week two.  It should be a great game.

Only the barber knows who will win this ballgame, a good week for a haircut.

Well said, HTV.

I'd love to see Powell win, but jeez, the last thing you want to do is go kicking a hornets' nest.

Yep.  Never good to poke the bear, especially in his own den.

The Rebels are an absolute machine. Hunt learned well from Quarles. Will definitely be an upset if Powell wins. I don’t think the game would have been close originally as scheduled, but Powell adding Walter definitely makes things interesting. There haven’t been many players of his caliber play East TN HS football.

Hope HTV will hurry and Create a Powell Anderson County Board. Powell is looking down the schedule. Hope they still want to play the AC game. Just saying. It's been a long year since the end zone pass from Powell to win and the Mavericks need some closure.
