BoosterClubPlayersSuck Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 I feel like William Blount will be stuck in Maryville's shadow for a long time. Maryville has managed to be a powerhouse for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For public school ball, yes it has been. Knoxville and surrounding areas produces a lot of state champs. Greeneville is only 45 minutes from Knoxville. Maryville is even closer. etc etc. Now for private school ball I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WB is totally surrounded by the city and walking distance to the school. If one of those city residents go to WB it's free. I know a handful of students that went to either WB or Heritage for a better chance to play. I can assure you none of the four schools are running over like a water faucet left on but you never hear of the city kids going to the county schools because their not winning. Alcoa helps kids relocate. They have kids from Georgia and ####. Also, I knew a guy in Kingsport that Alcoa tried to recruit, and he said they were willing to help relocate and everything. Not sure how it's allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarneySox2007 Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) It would really be nice if William Blount and Sequoyah could arrange a bowl game at the end of the season so one of these schools could break their losing streak in the name of fun and fair play. No team deserves to lose every game for all the hard work these kids and coaches put in. Hope someone with pull will read and consider this. Since I came up with this idea we'll call it the Barney Bowl and I'll be more than happy to present the trophy to the winning team if all are on board.

Barn, you would have to pay people to come watch this. And one of the teams goes 0-11. That would be really suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a part of 0-10, and two 1-9's. It absolutely sucks. I remember just being relieved it was finally over. My guess is that those kids are ready to turn in the gear and move on. But I am all for the Barney Bowl. Would you be in charge of concessions? Proceeds to the players of the losing team for showing up one more time. ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarneySox2007 Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 They did have something like this at Grace Christian every year at the end of the season, not sure what happened. Both WB and Sequoyah have enough student body to support this. I'm sure some of the smaller teams wouldn't draw enough people to fill a school bus.
