Best Team in the State in 2003

[MRedRebels]

MBA withought a doubt.

Big mistake Mav! Never try to compare your team to to the Allmighty MBA.

Is there anything wrong with providing hard data to back up or dispute a claim? Note that I never posted about how Allmighty (sic) MBA is until a question arose about balance.

 

You really need to get over the hate.

OK, I'll chime in with my top ten!

 

1) MBA- Saw them once, I was sold.

2) Germantown- Typically the 5A champs are number one in my book, but MBA was just... wow.

3) Hillsboro- Total domination yesterday- I don't see how Pearl beat them.

4) Riverdale- Gave Germantown a run for their money. I think they would have won had they thrown more.

5) Franklin- Would have given Riverdale a run for their money. Picked a heck of a game to make some uncharateristic mistakes- the semis.

6) Lincoln County- I feeel they would have fallen in my perfect BCB game- a rematch.

7) Maryville- How did MoTown West beat them? I REALLY wanted to see them yesterday. Darn, guess I'll just have to go next year.

8) Huntingdon- They were GOOD. They were that GOOD. Very impressed by the Mustangs.

9) Melrose- Could have easily been playing yesterday and likely winning.

10) Brentwood Academy- Saw them struggle with Centennial. Saw them get blown away by MBA. Didn't look like much progress had been made from week 0 to week 13.

T, I am stunned. I was hoping somebody had signed on under your SN and typed those rankings, but you're usually pretty careful about those things. These rankings are an anomaly; you're usually pretty accurate.

 

Here's my top 10, also posted under Gerry Bartier's poll:

 

1 Montgomery Bell Academy

2 Brentwood Academy

3 Christian Brothers

4 Germantown

5 Franklin

6 Riverdale

7 Hillsboro

8 Lincoln County

9 Melrose

10 Maryville

[The Mav]

I never said that MBA didn't execute or wasnt precise, I said that it's not just about the numbers, and that it was the speed and precision that Fulton executed with that for me showed the most balanced offensive attack that I saw all week end, including MBA.

Well I'll give you this Mav.......you got nerve !

MBA's precision:

QB Michael Fisher - 22/26, 302 yds, 2 TD

WR Brad French - 9 catches, 166 yds

23 First Downs

K Brian Hahnfeldt - 1-1 FG, 5-5 PAT

 

MBA's speed:

RB Andy Snyder - 15 carries, 102 yds

RB Michael Koban - 21 rushes, 76 yds, 1 TD

QB Michael Fisher - 2 TD runs, 1 catch

 

Stats - 2003 Clinic Bowl

 

 

If anyone were better than MBA then I, a BA alum, would be the first to proclaim it. It's just simply not the case.

My regional buddy, THE MAV, said that yall were ganging up on him so I had to come to his rescue. The best in the state of Tennessee goes like this, 1.

Region 3-2A is there best there is, the best there was, and the best there will ever be! Get that through your heads!

 

1. Fulton (Only because they beat AE)

2. AE

3. AC

4. Hillsboro

5. Motown West

6. Germantown

7. Maryville (Yes, they're not #1 in my book)

[rollredroll]

In the sense of fairness, Wes, MBA did turn the ball over twice (2 fumbles).

 

Also worth mentioning that Fisher not only ran for 2 TDs and threw for 2 TDs, he also caught a pass for 33 yards.

Oops. You're right...edited. Still, my post stands.

Hillsboro and Maryville. I know Maryville would have given Hillsboro a better game than Mo-West did. A shut-out in the State game won't cut it. But hey thats how it goes but we will see whos there next year in state and sittin at home.

[PiGeOnS4LiFe]

I'm with AE....ya'll are crazy to not at least giving Fulton a spot in the top 10. But Fulton Ae and AC should all eb there. Region 2-3a is the toughest in the State of TN. 3-4 teams year in, year out who ould and would win the State title game!!! Ya'll are crazy if you think MBA would compete. MBA would get murdered if they played Fulton, Ae, or AC. MBA might have impessive numbers....but they don't play teams like us! Numbers don't mean as much as people think! MBA's O-Line would NEVER contain Fulton D. Aint' gonna happen. When you have people like Demarcus Stevens, Maurice Merchant, Josh Nelson, Antonio Hamilton....no way!!! You people are insane!

[REBELMAN06]

Your full of it Pigeons4life or whatever. Hillsboro or Melrose or Maryville or MBA could beat AE. Maryville whooped up on them in a scrimmage this year. So don't hand me that garage that no one is as good as you guys. Because its bull.
