Advertised as the “greatest show on turf,” Anderson County has been nearly untouchable the past two football seasons.
The Mavericks have averaged 48.8 points per game and held their opposition to 16 in that span, during which their only two losses have been to back-to-back Class 4A state champion Greeneville.
Despite losing a Mr. Football finalist at quarterback, a 21-touchdown receiver and their top two running backs, the Mavericks remain the top dogs in Region 2-4A until proven otherwise.
“Anderson County is still the class of the region,” second-year Central coach Curt Jones said. “They lost a lot of kids, but they won so many blowouts last year to where a lot of young kids got playing time, too. They are coming back with kids who have big-game experience.”
