Week One of high school football was an exciting one with some unusual results. We will look at the results from some spotlighted games.
Maryville at Alcoa: The Battle of Pistol Creek is roughly 100 years old, with Alcoa leading the TSSAA in all-time football titles won with 23, and now it’s 24 as they won Friday, 28-21, bringing back-to-back wins over Maryville for the first time in 15 years.
Anderson County at Powell These two programs played against each other in the season opener for a fifth consecutive year, but with one big difference: NO WINNER. With Anderson County leading 18-7 at the beginning of the third quarter and Powell driving, Mother Nature stopped the play. The teams originally planned to continue on Saturday, but TSSAA ruled the game a no-contest.
Farragut vs. Sevier County The first annual FirstBank Football Classic features Class 5A Sevier County against Class 6A Farragut, with two of the state’s top 2027 QBs against one another in Cooper Newman (Sevier County) and Corbin Hobson (Farragut). Sevier County’s 15-0 run and 5A State Championship proved to be no fluke as they took down Farragut 27-7.
