Maryville’s Brayden Anderson snares an Oakland ball carrier on Friday. With three minutes left, the Rebel defense forced a punt to set up the game-winning drive.
We like to tell ourselves today’s high-powered cell phone cameras — even your editor’s spiffy iPhone 7 plus — make traditional DSLR photography obsolete. We couldn’t be more wrong.
Blount Press Row’s Jolanda Jansma, Wallace Bowden and Cindy Nowlin made Friday’s big Maryville/Oakland game a team effort. Enjoy their shots. Here’s Jolanda, or, as we call her at The Row, “The Duchess.”

Cade Chambers scampers to the end zone with a smile on his face for Maryville’s first touchdown in the 24-21 win.

Linebacker Seth Orren and lineman Blaize Welch (64) both played critical roles for Maryville on defense in the second half.
