Ok does anyone predict Bearden or Farragut to take down Maryville this year?

Even in a “down” year for Maryville that’s not likely. No idea if they’ll truly be down next year or not but even if so I’d bet on them being right back in the semifinals against Oakland next year.

How many Booners are matriculating off this last year’s squad. How many started or top subs.

Boone graduates 19 seniors.     Hopefully this year's success will get some new guys out for the team next year, but that has yet to be seen.       Will have to see the schedule to know for sure, but I suspect Boone will be back to our normal 6-4 type of season next year.    But again that depends on the schedule so no way to know that at this point.

To me Maryville is always going to be Maryville and that means the Rebels will take ordinary kids and coach them to become top rank team players. 

I used the word " ordinary " but I did not mean any disrespect.  I simply was trying to say Maryville kids outwork kids from other schools.

My biggest problem with Oak Ridge is that every year players say they can win State   IF   the players come together.

Playing together should just be the NORM and not something that has to be focused on every single year. It's not like they haven't played Boys Club and Middle School football with each other.

RWR!  The 2023 season has already begun for those teams that will win State Championships next year. Is OR in the weight room yet?

Bearden will be better.  

Farragut will be Farragut. 

But neither will come close to overtaking Maryville.  

To paraphrase the great Samuel Clemens (That's Mark Twain's real name for you young guys), The reports of Maryville's demise have been greatly exaggerated.  They aren't going anywhere.

You would be surprised.  For that to happen there has to be a culture of respect, accountability and a standard of commitment in place.  That doesn't happen over night.  There is a whole lot more to it than "ought to be the norm".  It ain't like it used to be where everybody just flies right.  I couldn't coach kids today.  It's a whole different world now Willie.  Let me give you a snap shot of the boys club.  There are 3 age groups.  3 teams with about 14 players each.  Again, ain't like it used to be.

What happens to Powell when HC Lowe leaves yet again and moves on to greener (money) pastures? 

They hire a new coach.  And I can say, See I told you so!  

My guess is that they will be good year in year out, but not great.  I see the next couple years  like this:  5A football in this area is bad.  There are three teams year in and year out that stand above the rest and two of those will play in the semis with a chance to go to state.  Those three are West, Powell, and OR.  Should be the same next year.  Two of those teams will play each other twice.  Once regular and once playoffs, the winner of the semi plays for state.  It's hard for me to see that going any other direction.  Central could be in that mix soon with those huge freshmen classes coming in, then again they might be 6A by the time those freshmen are jrs. and srs.

Hope he sticks around at Powell as to go to a pasture with landmines all over it. There is such a pasture like this on Lonas in Knoxville. That pasture has someone with a finger up your behind preforming a weekly rectal examination for their country club members that absolutely will not listen to why their not on fair playing ground with the LA's of the private schools.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
