Best High School Rivalry

[tngator]

Rule. They were a dirty football team. Their fans were awful. They threw stuff on us all the time when we went under their stands. Coffee,cokes,liquor would be poured on us. They spit on us too. Plus! Maryville and Rule were always the 2 best teams in the district. Back then if you didn't win your district you didn't go to the playoffs. It was always for the district championship.

RR: when did you play at MHS? I agree, playing at Rule was a nightmare, you would come out of the locker room, up the tunnel and it was like you had garbage cans being dumped on you. It was the only road game that Coach Story made us put our helmets on before leaving the locker room. I miss the old region, eventhough MHS has been doing quite well for itself.

the best rivalry ever is    hendersonville vs. beech.    look back at all of the games. no matter what the team's season is they will always play their best game of the season in this game.  the best game enough said

lol, cant say much for my junior and senior year....Both games were blowouts, haha. Now, last year was a good game, no doubt. I still think HHS vs Gallatin is a bigger one then vs Beech. Yes, theyve been around for about 20 yrs, but Gallatin has been around longer. When both these teams go at it.....its somethin to see.

when I played from 96-98, Sevier Co was our biggest rivalry. I hated them and they hated us. We killed them in 96 when Matthews threw more INT than completions. 97, we beat them for the region and then they thrashed us in the playoffs. Killed them my senior year 41-0 and then in 2000 we were ranked 1-2 and it was a great game in which we won. They have slipped, but it was the only team that I played that I absolutely hated other than South, Johnson City, Bristol, and Jeff CO. Of course I hated everyone I played against, but the Purple Punks were the worst. OR-DB is the 2 most important games every year in East TN 5-A. OR never had any real punks or cheap shot guys on their teams. The guy I had the most fun competing with was Billy Shipley. The guy was a class act. I hope everything has worked out for him. Any info from OR fans would be cool.

While the rivalry has kind of been put on the shelf for a while so MBA and BA can duke it out in DII-AAA, the MBA-Father Ryan rivalry has been around since the early 1900's(I think- Rollredroll probably knows if this is true or not). Years ago it was a huge deal and I think every year Father Ryan students would paint the MBA cannons purple. I guess now the MBA-Ryan rivalry has shifted from football to wrestling(ie. last year's dual match at Father Ryan).

meigs county and brentwood? isn't meigs county like 2a? you've got to be kidding! that's like me saying the riverdale-cpa game is a huge rivalry. i would rather watch central middle play columbia-whitthorne than watch a meigs county game.

McMinn and Bradley Central used to be a pretty big rivalry in football a few years ago...but the rivalry has simmered down a bit since Bradley has been so bad lately.
