28 - 16 Maryville. Good bye Blackman

Night night!!!!!

Jeez, they were such swell guys too.

So really BG didn't have a signature win this year?

Says who? They lost to the #28th ranked team in the country at their place.

I wonder who Blackman will blame for this loss?

Maryville is probably the best team in Tn this year, including Ensworth or any other private or public school. No disgrace losing to them.

Them & Ensworth are both tough. Both will be playing for respective titles next week. Ensworth's head coach...along with an assistant are suspended for title game.

I heard they had 11 penalties so they are most likely blaming the refs. Probably a crew from KY who called their game last night.

Didn't see any excuses. They had an early lead...but Maryville is just too strong. Maryville qb 16-18 for 178 & 3 td's.

Good. I would think they are too good of a team to make excuses when they lose. Must have been a BG thing.

Probably just the arrogance TN teams have when it comes to KY football, just like some on here keep trying to put down KY football, maybe KY football is just better than they think it is and can't bring theemselves to admitting KY teams are better.

I don't think so if BG is your best team. Hard to say if they are. Year in and year out our states are pretty close. This year...Maryville is probably better than any KY team. Ensworth probably is too.

 

Maryville is making their 10th straight appearance in title game.

The top teams are pretty even in both states. Tn just has more quality teams than Ky does. Teams like Highlands, BG, Trinity, St X, Male, Scott Co could compete with Tns best, but, where Ky has maybe 8-10 really outstanding teams, Tn has about double that. But, a lot of that has to do with #s. Tn has a much larger population and more metro areas with bigger schools and more private powers.

Tennessee is about a third larger...that's true. I agree also about the quality teams. There are more good private school teams here. Some of that is due to formation of DII division. Ensworth...Brentwood Academy...and most private schools are very small. Rutherford, Williamson & Blount county schools are always very good. The publics in the metro areas are usually not as good.
