"historic championship: maryville wins the 13th state title ever." our football team has throarnd o work well together. they won the second consecutive state championship. 13, as the newspaper said, in all. i watched the game on statewide television. their record this year was 15-0. it was their ninth state title and ninth perfect season under an extraordinary coach, george corals, who has won 179 games and lost 13 games in his can reefer coaching. -- in his career of coaching. this is the most state titles of any -- any school in tennessee in its history. the team scored 35 or more points and 109 of coach corals' first 191 games averaged 30 or more points in 12 of his 13 seasons. and his senior quarterback this year, pat robinson, who's got scholarships from good schools everywhere, was named the gatorade tennessee football player of the year, part of which has to do with his academic credentials. he's got a straight a-plus average. which leads me to the second thing they work well together on in maryville, tennessee, and that is that the maryville
