It’s hard to beat a team twice in the same year. No. 95 Maryville (13-1) punched its ticket to next week’s Tennessee 6A title game Friday night with a 31-28 win over No. 73 Oakland. The victory avenged a 17-14 loss to Oakland (13-1) in Week 2 of the regular season.
Jack Cone’s 39-yard field goal with :26 seconds left in the game proved to be the difference for the Rebels, who will face Cane Ridge next week for the state title.
