Sullivan East lost a lot of seniors last year and will not be as good in 2017.

I know they lost to Fulton 1st round playoffs 60-0 with all those seniors  .. so I could see where you think that .. but 4A is so week now with Knox Cath and Central being 5A and Fulton choosing to move to 5A  to be able to get a schedule in the Knox area .. 5A is not what is used to be  .. 2012 - 2015 - Fulton 3 championships and KC 1 championship and Knox Central played for Gold last year .. so the cream of the crop has left 4A

I heard William Blount was trying to schedule "winnable" games  and they skipped a whole lot of Blount and Knox county teams to go out Anderson County and Cumberland County to play a couple of teams 2 classifications below them.

Infer from that whatever you would like

I take it that the 6A Blount County school scheduled a loss with one of the 4A teams.

Thoughts?

Looks like after last year that the Memphis area  is awake and very strong .To be the man,you got to beat the man.Some monsters moved on out of the east and one came into 4A,Elizabethton.Giving Alcoa all they wanted was a shock but Jason Witten's school with his brother coaching now,is very strong as they have been in the past.I hope Greeneville can come in a have another special season.The staff is great and the offense should be very strong and fun to watch.I wouldn't count several teams on this list out and as I like to say,you never know who will have a special team that makes a run .Just hope that team has a Greene Devil as their mascot

As much as it pains me, it's Greenville to lose. And I'm sure they'll try to run the score up on everyone along the way.

It's always a hard call for a coach who has a good team going against  teams they should beat with no problems.You leave the starters in to long and get one hurt.You take them out after one or two quarters all year  and ask the subs to run up the middle all night ? Then you have a problem when a great deep team comes calling in the playoff.No,I like playing the starters a little longer towards the end of the year and when your putting the young guys in all year.let them play to win.If your on the other side ,it also sucks but Greeneville has to take care of Greeneville and however they want to do it,I'm fine.I've wished a million times I'd not moved to Kingsport and had my two good athletes wearing the devil helmet, because I've seen how a program can be turned into a cluster up here  when the band and good ole boys are first.

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
