in 2014 coming back from a 28-point deficit in the first quarter. Maryville won their 15th title in overtime after TD Blackmon made an interception on a 2-point conversion to seal the win. Blackmon also was responsible for blocking a crucial field goal at the end of regulation to prevent the Raptors from scoring a field goal and sending the game into overtime, the final score was 35–34. The 2013 State Championship was MHS's 3rd Division 1, Class 6A Title, following their first two in 2010 and 2011. The three 6A Titles stand in addition to seven other 4A Titles held by Coach George Quarles and the Red Rebels in the 2000s, prior to their 6A classification. The Red Rebels reached an overall National ranking of 7th, and 1st in the State of Tennessee, in 2011. MHS also reached the 1st-place position as overall cumulative State of Tennessee Football Championship Title-holder in 2011, and holds a one-championship lead over rival Alcoa (which is in the 3A class) for the most in Tennessee. During the 2007 season, the basketball team won the state championship in class AAA. In 2017, the Rebel's baseball team went on a historic run. Although missing the State Tournament by one game, the Rebels set the school record for wins (30) and won the District 4-AAA baseball tournament for the first time since 2011. With 2 wins over top-seeded Farragut on their own home field, the Rebels capped off a season that saw them have win streaks of 8 games in a row and 12 games in a row, while going 24–3 in their last 27 games. The Rebels hosted the Region Championship on May 17, losing a heart breaker to Farragut, 1–0. That loss caused them to have to travel to Kingsport to face the Dobyns Bennett Indians on May 19, the same day and the same time as graduation. Unfortunately, the scheduling conflict prevented the senior baseball players to walk across the stage with their peers, and the Rebels lost a tough game 5-0 putting them out of the post season. Controversy Since 1938, Maryville High School teams have used the name Red Rebels. From the 1960s onward the team name has been linked in promotional materials with the rebellion during the Civil War, such links including the use of the Confederate battle flag, images of a Confederate soldier, and references to the rebel yell.
