Every great rivalry in sports has a name. From the battle of tobacco road to the worlds largest cocktail party to the 3rd saturday in October.....But after 70+ years of Alcoa vs Maryville this rivalry has no name and with the loss of the Blount County championship (due to the county schools) why not name this rivalry have a trophy for these 2 teams to play for every year? I'm sure boosters fans schools and the community would chip in for one. This is the biggest game of the year in Blount County. Whats your alls opinions on this? any rivalry names? id love to see Alcoa vs Maryville be known as the Civil War but thats just my vote what you all think?

Not sure civil war would work 2 well. I mean, we know somethin about history, having the rebels being one of the teams, and there are always a bunch of confederate flags. Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen, not matter what the students, faculity, and alumni want. I dont think that name will work because of political correctness. Maybe somethin like Brawl for it All or somethin. Thats kinda a lame name, its all I could think of as of right now. My uncles have told me how back in the old days maryville and alcoa guys would actually have big fights every year for a while. now its just a big prank war.

yeah ROFL at civil war with maryville waving rebel flags and alcoa's team 75% black. That would last about 90 seconds of one season.

C-N vs Kennesaw State

 

I do resemble that remark!

 

He scored 18. Only 3 rebounds. He is struggling with having to guard guards on defense. He is starting at the 3-guard.

Just checked the stats.....Looks like he just beginning to heat up. He is getting alot of minutes for a freshman plus he is starting......not bad.

 

so back to the thread. IMO Alcoa and Maryville will be a battle. Alcoa folks need to remember that Maryville has a knack of stoping great backs........and Lindsay is. If Feigler has a great day then Alcoa may get one here. Maryville's defense will be better than this years and after watching Alcoa in the state game....their line is not as good, or as improved as suggested.

 

One thing for sure.........Alcoa better get them next year because it will be a while before they get this good of an opportunity.

 

Kudos to my pal John Reed and staff. I told John his way of coaching......discipline and many hours in the weight room, would accumalate many gold balls at Alcoa. He obtained the first of many to come last weekend.

    • I believe that was last year. I was interested in the Jones vs Baker comment, so I went back and looked at GC. I am not a fan of either nor am I a baseball guru. This looks like to me the duel was not close and if the errors would not have been made Eagleville would have won. I assume you are a little biased. I do think your mph for Jeffcoat and Baker must be from last year.  Baker-85 pitches 67 strikes. 5.2 innings, 5H, 1BB, 0ER and 7K's. 3 errors  Jones- 78 pitches 37 strikes. 4 innings, 2H, 5BB, 0ER and 1K. 1 error   Adams and the UH kid are really good as well. What about South Pitt and Oakdale? I heard they have some good ones. 
    • I hate this for all the kids in the program and fans alike. I can't recall of anything like this before in my lifetime but I'm sure it isn't a first. After criminal investigations are complete and the TSSAA looks into this the program it will be facing Nuclear Winter for some time to come. It's always the innocent left behind that end up paying the price for something someone else has done. I'm sure the transfer portal will be very active in Clinton over the summer months. How could you find a good coach worth his salt that would take on a situation like this not knowing what will happen. 
    • I’ve seen Jeffcoat in person twice and he was 84-87 both times and the one time I saw Baker he was low 80’s, he actually got out dueled by Jones from ER in that outing.
