Maryvile to remain in 4-A ?

[Guest Rebelnation]

No, no, no, no guys....I never said drop Alcoa. You misread it. I said drop WB and Heritage. I clearly said "Alcoa isn't gonna change" as in no one wants the Alcoa game to go away. I'm in my 30's and still love that game like I am still 18.

 

You've made it amply clear how you don't wanna let those games go Ron. They serve no purpose though. We can talk about feel good things like ticket sales and county rivalry and county unity, but at the end of the day those two games do nothing for us. That's a fact man. I don't want you to feel like I'm calling you out....I'm not. I just don't think keeping those games is defensible.

 

Holy Cow!! Just wait till the county fans see this. Man am I gonna get it.

No offense taken rebelnation.

 

I like the county games because of having friends that went to Alcoa,Heritage and William Blount. I guarantee you the Heritage and William Blount supporters would be mad as heck if the Maryville game was taken away.Part of the fun is watching those schools fans go nuts when they beat Maryville or gripe and fuss when Maryville beats them. I mean I don't like Maryville losing those games but I will be happy for my Heritage and William Blount friends when it happens.

How many threads have we had on this subject?  Guess what ?  Maryville is a 4-A team, maybe will be a 5-a someday, but definitely one of the best football programs in the state at any level.  Just watch them play sometime.  I would personally like to see them move up. However, I would just like to schedule them in the regular season.  It would be an instant rivalry with huge gates for both teams.  Good luck to the Rebels and bring back the Gold Ball again to E. Tennessee.

The Maryville Admin expected to be moved up to 5A. When the numbers came out and they were able to stay in 4A, there was no decision to be made, stay in 4A. It had nothing to do with fearing anyone. It is all about time and money. With 5A there is alot of travel. That costs and reqires more time. So until the time comes they will stay in 4A. Wise choice. Some day Maryville will be 5A and other than 3 schools there won't be any change to how Maryville plays or wins.
