uumm Maryville
To lay claim to being Knoxvilles best high school football team since the playoff era began in 1969, Fulton would have to go undefeated.
I'm not taking away anything from Maryville and what Quarles has done there for a long time, but how can you not accept that Fulton was one of the best teams Knoxville has ever produced. They broke the state record for scoring and had the 4th highest in history in the nation and that was with backups playing the majority of the second half.I'm guessing they don't count Maryville. Otherwise, Fulton doesn't even have a realistic claim for best high-school football team this year.
If it's best Knoxville area team, then there would be Maryville teams in like 8 of the top 10 spots lol.

They dominated nearly every opponent they played. Give credit where its due - the 2013 Falcons are in the discussion for sure.
I watched both teams live and trust me Maryville would destroy Fulton. I'd say 42-7 if they let off the gas late. Maryville beat 3 teams that were at the bluecross bowl. Flat out awesome football team from coaches to players. Fulton is very very good but I'm not sure they beat Knox west either.
Pretty sure Maryville is not in Knoxville
smh. Okay. I don't even know how to respond to a ridiculous hypothetical scenario that could never be proven. I've seen them live as well.
Lol. Just ridiculous. For the record, I never said they were the best ever. I was reacting to your ridiculous claim Mayrville would win 42-7. Fulton is definitely one of the best ever but you are entitled to your ridiculous opinion.By posting in this thread you responded to a ridiculous hypothetical scenario that could never be proven. Marysville is probably one of the top 50-100 teams in the nation and Fulton probably is not just sayin
I can understand where you are coming from but let's not introduce a 3 loss team into the discussion.To say that this Fulton team is the best team EVER to come out of Knoxville is complete crap. No way this team would beat the 04-05 Central Bobcats. For those out there who remember this team as I do, they lost only 3 games to McCallie( Who had BJ Coleman) and to Maryville twice. Playing Fulton's schedule that year, Central would have ROLLED to a State title. College players off that team, just to name a few, were: Terrence Scott( College of the Canyons, Univ of Oregon ), Zach Helton ( Memphis), AJ Nance ( Kentucky), Lones Sieber ( Kentucky), Rob Longworth ( Walk-on at Tennessee), And Im sadly leaving some ppl out. Folks, Fulton this year was the best team out of Knoxville in a couple of years, BUT to say ever is completely Ridiculous.:loco:
Teams that would beat this years Fulton team areThis year Fulton was the best team in any class in the state of TN...Maryville would hav been lucky to keep it within 14!!!
To say that this Fulton team is the best team EVER to come out of Knoxville is complete crap. No way this team would beat the 04-05 Central Bobcats.
Teams that would beat this years Fulton team are
1. Maryville
2. Blackman
3. Oakland
4. Ensworth
5. Brentwood academy
6. Mus
7. Henry County
There's 7 off the top of my head Fulton/Alcoa would have been closer than you think imo
So I guess Fulton had nothing to do with the turnovers??And for those of you who weren't there, Fulton struggled with Giles county believe it or not. It was a 7 point game in the second half and Giles county had momentum. If not helped by 5 Giles county turnovers who knows how that would have turned out. The final score was not indicative of most of the game. Is Fulton much better than Giles county? Yes most definitely. To beat Maryville a team has got to have several D1 caliber athletes I.e Whitehaven last year or a Randall Cobb lead Alcoa team. They would embarrass Fulton in spectacular fashion
I've seen them all play at least once if not a couple times. I'm not trying to discredit Fulton they are awesome no doubt! Best team in 4a obviously and possibly better than any 5a team ( I think henry co. and Knox west could go either way) but the guy saying best team in any class is crazy!And this is based on what? How many teams did you see play and how many times?

Central's 1991 team was also really good, but not undefeated. Todd Helton was the quarterback, and they had a running back named Kippy Bayless, who would go on to break most of MTSU's rushing records. They blew out every team they played until the semifinals, when they lost to Lincoln County at Neyland Stadium.
Austin-East was 15-0 in 1988, I think, but I don't remember them being as dominant as this year's Fulton squad.
Do you get out of Maryville much??? LolI watched both teams live and trust me Maryville would destroy Fulton. I'd say 42-7 if they let off the gas late.
