I know of a real good MHS wrestler who is now on the team. Gotta recruit the halls. 

If they're wrestling they've more than likely been playing football to begin with, so it wouldn't be anyone new to either team.

Very few of the high school football coaches in Tennessee truly understand the benefit of wrestling and how it makes better football players.  The combination of learning hand fighting skills and improving ones foot work along with learning how to fight the one on one battles truly makes football players much better.  If I were a high school football coach I would require all of my players to wrestle that didn’t play basketball.

Unfortunately that will not happen at Maryville.

Like I said most Tennessee high school football coaches are not smart enough or familiar enough with wrestling to understand how wrestling helps develop better football players.  Not only would I require my football players to wrestle that did not play basketball, I would also make them participate in track & field if they were not on the baseball or soccer team.  The goal is to develop the best and most competitive athletes on the field in order to win state championships.

Biggest problem we have at Maryville is a progressive type principal I'm scared that might not realize the importance of the football program or any sport matter of a fact. She ran off a winning girls basketball coach who was very popular with the fans over some little Flossi Mae on the basketball team and her dear parents Karen and Ken. She sided with Karen and Ken and now the girls basketball program sucks and the basketball coach was also over the football broadcast which also went to pot last year for most of the season until we wore her out over it and now the radio broadcast combined with the TV footage. She killed two birds with one stone on that throw but also cancelled the kids night to wear all black shirts on Alcoa Night which was called Black Out which she claimed that may be racist. Two years ago the towns "Crazy Lady ' who is in most people's opiniom a certifiable nut case led a group trying to change the Red Rebel name which has died down now but I can see those two being birds of a feather and wish they would send her down the road before that all gets fired up again. I graduated from Maryville and feel I have every right to display my concerns how pizzed off I am over this type leadership. Many older football fans of Maryville that can't go to the games any longer paid NFHS to see the games they couldn't go to anymore at home only to see nothing most of the time or something only the Three Stooges could have put together.

Too many coaches (not the head football coach) at 825 want kids to specialize. From where I have sat over the last 15 yrs, the specialization is not helping any of sports on the hill. IMO that is more of an Athletic Director issue to resolve. Just like any school, if you are not getting your best players on the team, then you have a better chance at mediocrity than excellence.

I totally agree with your assessment. Until kids are juniors and often times seniors you cannot predict what is their best sport.  If schools work together to put the best athletes on the field the whole athletic department benefits.

30 of the 32 first round picks in last month's NFL draft were multiple sport athletes in high school.  

Any coach of any sport who pressures students to only play his/her sport needs to be publicly called out.  They're selfish and putting their own interests ahead of what is best for the young folks. 

Kids onlhave one opportunity to play high school sports. Play them all.

Often times the head coach does not specifically tell kids not to participate in another sport but they sure don't encourage participation in two or three sports while in high school.  Again, to have a "GREAT ATHLETIC PROGRAM" the various teams must share the athletes.  I have spoken with NFL HOA running back Emmitt Smith about how he would run a track meet in the afternoon and then change uniforms in the back of an old station wagon on the way to a baseball game that night.  Emmitt also played football and basketball, so he was a 4-sport athlete.  While most people hate the man, the very best at helping develop a complete athlete was Major Worsham (Baylor) and Carlton Flatt (Brentwood Academy).  Those two men basically told the good athletes that they were going to play sport X, Y and Z.  Kids need direction and part of that direction is telling them that they are going to participate in multiple sports.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • 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 ..
