Also I did recognize that alcoa took a play from the Whitehaven program and rushed the  Maryville side after the game ended. That is really classless imo. But I guess you just have to consider the source.

That maybe true but I was basing that on record / history. I do find it odd that In recent history they never play each other past week 4.  Why is that? 

Not really sure. It used to be played in October. I’d rather move it to cooler weather. However, if you have numbers, I’d say Murvul is fine with playing it in 90-95 degree temps. It is what it is….

They rush to our side when they win. I remember several years ago, they came over with a stuffed raccoon on a plaque. I guess if you can dish it, you should be able to take it…

Agreed. However, Oakland is another story. I hope it comes down to that. However, at Oakland will be another level. Hope I’m wrong. Hope we get to see! 

Yes Oakland has seemed to be rutherford counties answer to the Evil Empire. I guess when you can have players play for a team but attend a different school and even openly recruit players form other surrounding  schools with no punitive actions from the TSSAA just to put together a team to beat maryville.

Just about every team who’s relevant in the state of TN has followed suit….

14-1 is a stretch at the moment….

An extremely long one.  12-2 absolute best they will get

I see what you’re saying. However, if they get improved play out of the qb and can keep Vaughn healthy, I don’t think making the semi at Oakland (if Oakland makes it?) is out of reach. Murvul is Murvul. This game will make them better. Just have some work to do. Their schedule allows for that imho. We shall see…

That is better than 90% of all other teams. Id take that.  But we shall see

You're like a little Child , no one from Maryville is Cocky or arrogant like you were a couple years ago when you talked smack all year long only to disappear for a full year because you looked so foolish . Maryville has up and down years just like every team , but the difference is with Maryville even on a down year they are dangerous . 

Unlike a few of my fellow Maryville fans I'm not ready to jump off a Bridge anytime soon . To be honest I had a few very positive thoughts about the Game last night . Our Defense played much better than they did against Farragut . We buckled down and stopped Alcoa several times and we definitely had a chance to win the Game at the end , a TD and extra point would of had us at 21-20 . Noah Vaughn proved once again that he is one of the best Running Backs to ever play at Maryville high School ... he was the best player on that field last night ... We definitely Blew up at the end of the Game and it wasn't just one player , it was a total team fiasco including the Coaches . Our Coaches have a great record of usually pulling the right strings in situations like this and definitely deserve the benefit of the Doubt and I think we will learn from our mistakes . Being positive about your Football team , especially when it's Maryville high School , doesn't mean you have your head in the sand or don't understand our team might have some weaknesses ... It just means as a Maryville fan we have seen some remarkable comebacks during the last 20 plus years ... to be honest , I haven't thought Maryville was going to lose a game beforehand for over 20 years . 

In 2010 Alcoa beat us and Maryville went on to win the 6A State Championship that year . Losing to Alcoa is something that nearly every other team in our State would also do ... nothing to be ashamed of . Being a winner isn't just how you react after a win ... being a real Champion is how you react to a loss . A hater like Mjgoldiebear will never understand that as a Maryville fan some of my proudest moments were when we actually lost a game . I've always mentioned how proud it's made me watching our boys run out on the field as a team and proudly hold that second place trophy up in a State Championship game . I've seen other teams react horribly , throwing helmets , not even going to get that trophy . 

To the Alcoa fans , Congratulations on your great Victory and thanks again for creating another Awesome Chapter in the Maryville Alcoa Rivalry . It truly was a great game and I must say for anyone who wasn't there , the atmosphere before the Game was completely off the Charts ! Standing room only and packed 10 deep in some places , and the Army Golden Knights show was one of the most spectacular scenes I've ever witnessed on that Football field , the members carrying the Alcoa and Maryville flags and then the Game ball was Amazing !!

I thought we were frands :(
