Maryville moves up to No. 3 in AP poll
The Maryville High School football team jumped two spots to No. 3 in Class 6A in the Associated Press’ prep football poll released Monday.
The Rebels, who won state championships four of the last five years in Class 4A, are coming off a 38-0 rout of previously unbeaten Bearden, which fell from second to ninth in the 6A rankings.
Alcoa, which cruised to a 49-7 win at Kingston on Friday, remained No. 1 in Class 3A.
Looks like not everyone is impressed by 42-point beatdowns, though. The clearly unbiased voter who apparently has been giving first-place votes to Elizabethton all season is back, taking away Alcoa’s unanimous grasp on the top spot after just one week. Elizabethton (6-1) ended up with only one of the 19 first-place votes to come in at No. 6.
