The Maryville Red Rebels are taking a road trip to take on the Knoxville Central Bobcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
Maryville's defense heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Friday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Heritage 51-0 at home. Given the Red Rebels' advantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee football rankings (they are ranked ninth, while the Mountaineers are ranked 141st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Knoxville Central took care of business in their home opener on Friday. They enjoyed a cozy 31-12 victory over Fulton.
Everything came up roses for Maryville against Knoxville Central in their previous meeting back in August of 2023 as the team secured a 52-6 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Maryville since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
