We went over to Springbrook Park for our summertime nightly walk. I commented to the Mrs., hey, there's no place to park, but there's nobody at the park? There must be a ballgame, she replied. Must be a big one, says me. Little did we know that we were wading into the middle of one of the biggest high school sports rivalries in Tennessee. We asked a couple of kids walking by, who's playing? Maryville and Alcoa, they said. Oh, my! The 4A v. the 2A State Champs, hometown teams from our own county squaring off. We were somewhat embarrassed that we hadn't been keeping up and didn't know. Anyway, it's an exciting night in Blount County. Probably bigger than Boomsday over there in Knoxville this weekend. Can't wait to read about the game in tomorrow's paper. A few photos after the jump... Every available space to park a car had a car parked in it. Say, is that Fred Thompson's Big Red Pickup? Some never forget. We're pretty sure almost everybody in Blount County was there.
