Maryville will be back. Their freshman class is awesome.  They have some good young players.  It hurts not having Ladue.

Is it the coaching staff not developing kids or has the talent pool dried up...not trolling when I ask bc I still consider Maryville to be the standard of programs and culture to be successful in high school football.

Replacing 17 starters is a hard thing to do. May be a long season for us but losing our key player and will hurt us a lot this year. This team can get us there but need LaDue to get us over the top. Unbelivable that happened.

It's generally the same coaching staff and the same pool of kids. Historically, maryville is not loaded with D1 talent - recently it's been 1-2 per year. The rest is high expectations, hard work, and good coaching. Both last year and this year, the D1 RBs get injured. That definitely hurts, but not sure it mattered last night. IMO #6 for BC was the difference maker, not injuries on the murvil side. If 6 is wearing red/black, that game isn't close. Sometimes talent beats expectations, hard work, and coaching.

Murvil will have to decide if it wants to join the crowd and hire their own difference makers or not. Us old hats don't like the idea of paying players, but it will be interesting to see which is disliked more...paying for difference makers or changing the definition of success. Personally, I'm still deciding.

The murvil kids played hard and fought back. Most of those kids are new starters and about half are young guys, The future is definitely a little brighter than the present, but ups and downs are a part of all sports. The road will continue to get tougher for these kids moving forward, and they will continue to get better. What a great opportunity!

When Maryville has to play with just Maryville kids, they are like everyone else. Up and down. The transfer portal has a lot more options now.

The biggest potential problem I see is that murvil wont do it half heartedly. It will strive to be the best it can. I worry what that looks like. It makes me think of cousin Angus' song Highway to heck. I guess it would be fun getting there!

BTW - there's still value in the Christmas Day garbage service. Maybe we just need to adjust the advertising approach.

Crazy overreaction. I understand standards are high out there… but to consider y’all at below average status is incomprehensible.

Alcoa has taken our players and kept the dynasty.. they’re on 9 strait championships now.

Maryville will still be a hard out come playoff time

Mostly a loss of players. Coaching is great. Next year will be better and better. JV is great but our varsity is suffering right now
