As far as scrimmages go, Maryville High School head football coach Chuck Lliteras will take Saturday’s officiated workout.
“After evaluation of the film, I would have to say I was satisfied with several aspects, especially defensively,” Lliteras said. “A lot of the experienced upperclassmen performed well, and the underclassmen who we expect to contribute continued their development.”
The scrimmage featured different sessions in which the first- and second-string Spoofhound offense worked against junior varsity players and freshmen, and the first- and second-string defense matched up against a similar offense. A third segment included special teams work.

Customer Service Manager Eulia Mares received the Legendary Customer Service Award from Heather McAnanlly, the employee-owned corporation’s assistant vice president of operations for the West Central District.
