So you are saying Satan is a female?

Know some trivia about Tennessee high school football?

 

Here's some to get started:

 

Trousdale County has the only stadium in the state that seats more people than the population of the county.

 

Two Heisman trophy winners have played on Blankenship Field in Oak Ridge (Steve Spurrier and Paul Horning).

 

Midway high school for a few years had the only football scoreboard in the state that showed the yard line.  The  fancy scoreboard meant to be sent to West Point (Army) ended up at Midway and they said to keep it rather than send it on to the desired location.

Trousdale County had 6800 people in the 2000 census. I don't think their stadium holds that many. How many does it hold? I don't think there's any way it holds 3400 on each side. That probably was true when the stadium was built.

The first game played in the Stone Castle was Virginia High vs. Piney Flats on October 2, 1934.

 

Ric Flair has attended a few Science Hill games. Most likely due to his friendship with Spurrier.

Don't know if this is unique, but it has to be unusual--- Riverdale's defense in 1994 scored more points (60) than it gave up (58). The team went 15-0 and outscored its opponents 623-58.

The 2004 squad fell just a little short in the allowed points category, but their offense scored more points than the 1994 team.

Here's a good one. In 2003, Trinity Christian Academy of Jackson scored 4 touchdowns in the first 59 seconds of the game. Can anybody top that?
