This has bothered me tonight. Apparently Greenback suffers from the same geographical problem that Meigs does, but did anyone notice any news/press crews outside of local papers? These two teams are ranked in the top 5 of their classifications, playing in an awesome environment in front of a packed house and there were zero news Crews there to report the game from Chattanooga or Knoxville? Can’t even send a cameraman to shoot a few highlights? There were plenty! Greenback has a couple players with power 5 offers, Meigs has a Mr Football winner that has committed to the naval academy, and they’re just going to be a box score. These teams have combined to go 75-9 over the past three years and all you’ll get to do is read the stat line. That’s downright sorry in my opinion. Missed a great opportunity to report on what was by far the best matchup on this side of the state, ESPECIALLY in the smaller classifications.

It's time for the Wildcats to step up and take the first region game of the season! There's no time to dwell on the past only time to prepare for the future. The time is now! RWR!

McMinn. He will turn them around and Polk will regret.

I'm looking forward to Meigs County coming to Beene Stadium. I hope between now and then we will improve ourselves so we can give everyone in attendance and those watching from afar a game such as the one I saw last night.

HC played 2 very good teams in the 1st 2 games, they may be 0-2 but they are not down... HC by at least 21

I can't believe Swafford ran it 32 times. His body won't last for college if this keeps up.

Saw Haywood in action a couple weeks back. This team is scary good. Size, Speed, and athleticism everywhere. Many of their kids looked as if they could put an SEC jersey on today and play the part. In years past, they've had teams that looked great on paper and the coaching hurt the outcome. Not, this year, their playbook and execution look on Que. This team could be the best in West TN regardless of classification. Just my opinion.

Not stirring nothing. This was explained last year. Take it how you want it. We are not the only coop school by far in metro. Y'all say pick and choose but it ain't no pick and choosing with 98% would rather be placed in a spelling b then play football. Ask me how many MLK kids play or start this year? 1 starts and he's the long snapper. He's 1 of our 4 seniors on the team. How many MLK kids on the team this year? 6-7 kids who some dont come daily. Even when mlk was cooping with hillsboro we still played up and was winning "shrugs"

I know this will stir the hornets nest, but....PC pretty much is a 6A school as far as students to pull from because they pull from multiple schools. They utilize the enrollment from PC High to classify as 3A but are able to get students from another high school with similar enrollment without a football program. JS

i wonder what t his game would have looked like if powell had actually tried the first three quarters.....hehehe

There were a couple missed calls on both sides tonight. But all in all it was a very entertaining game. In the end I believe the best team won. Greenback seemed to wear down a bit, especially in the trenches. Hats off to Swafford on a very good game. The kid is a hoss. Best player on the field to me moreso because I think their coach realizes this is his team and that's who leads the way. Greenback on the other hand missed several opportunities to get Willis the ball. Some drives his number was rarely called. I thought Greenback should have tried to establish some semblance of a running game even with their QB because a few times more than not he should have tucked the ball and ran. All in all a well played game. Very much worth the drive and price of admission. I wanna thank the fine folks of Decatur for hosting a great game and putting up with some of us scallywags.

It’s very good. We try to stop every time we are in Cleveland

I dont know what their deal is. I'm just speaking the truth! I may be over excited at times but for the most part I try to tell it how it is!

I'm proud to be a SP Homer or I prefer Pirate for life. You always try to give yourself a way out. SP might lose to RB or not but I'm 100% behind them and that includes my confidence in the team. I believe your more interested in your guru status.

Even if we lose the next 2 games I think we are better than last year.

Congratulations to Pearl Cohn! How long has it been since MBA started the season 0-2. Just a guess but PC is pretty good and MBA will not be a top tier D2AAA team this year.

I am not even a HC supporter but don't back peddle now, Martin's QB is a soph and the #4 ranked QB in his class in the country, the freshman at HC is good enough to start now and didn't want to wait until his senior year.....

Great post. There are some stang fans that understand the game of football.

Speaking of down, let’s talk about that purple team in your avatar. And before you say they tied HC in a scrimmage, let’s not forget they didn’t have a single first down and scored on 3 busted plays. One of which was against the back ups. In regards to our QB being a backup in Martin, most QB’s across the state would be a backup to the Simpson kid. He’s a very good player, but ours isn’t too bad either. There’s a reason he’s ranked #1 in the state for his class. The kid is going to be something special. And he carved up that bulldog defense in our scrimmage. He beat out a junior and two sophomores to win the job, played tough against #1 Haywood on the road, and had #2 Beech on the ropes at Shackle Island. I wouldn’t trade him for yours or most anyone else’s, I do know that.

HC is not down. Keep thinking that and see what next Saturday morning feels like. Lol HC is pretty dang good. Beech found a way to win, but I don’t think they were ready for how physical HC was. It amazes me that people see 0-2 and think “HC must be down. We’ll get them this year”. Silliness.

At what point do the Gordonsville faithful decide to go outside the family tree to hire football coaches? They decided boys basketball and baseball coaches were not getting it done. I hear year after year how much talent is coming from the junior high and how they should win state titles. Last night was a total mismatch coaching wise. Just wondering???

My thoughts exactly

Henry County isnt "down". See that's the problem with people who dont know football lol. If Dyer County played Haywood and Beech they would have mopped the floor with Dyer! If we play Obion and Crockett we would be 2-0. Is Obion and Crockett a favorite to go to Cookeville this year? NOPE! Is Haywood and Beech favorites to go to Cookeville! YEP! that's the difference my man! If not for a field goal miss that our kicker usually makes we beat Beech! So get out of here with that!

100% true

The Mayor will never abandon his constituents.

Ladykee (greenback skillet slinger) I garuntee you need to tell that Ryan man to run those boys more. What is he thinking? You have orchestrated one of the best teams in school history and he cant even get them in shape and had wrong personnel. This is a bunch of mess. You think im joking but im not.

All kidding aside,barring injuries and such.Should be one heck of a game.Westview scares me some but if everything goes to plan,chance both these teams could possibly be undefeated.

Haha good times buddy!

You don't need the ? after Region Title.

Roy has those Greenback people mad at him for bringing the refs to the Meigs game.

We have to come in with our heads on straight play our game hopefully get the first region win and no injuries

Thats just their offense. They don’t feature a premier RB. At least not from what I saw last night. Everything starts and stops with Swafford. If Meigs had another threat they could’ve ran on Greenback all night. I felt like Meigs trying to throw it during 2nd quarter on a couple drives made them fizzle out then that allowed Greenback time to score before the half. This isn’t a shot at Greenback but Meigs was the better team. Greenback is a scrappy team though and their new QB Carnes makes all the difference. Give him time and he will find somebody. Kid is a player. Massive pickup for the Cherokees this offseason. Without him they would not be a threat in East imo but with him and Willis they can score with anyone if they stay healthy. Willis and Swafford are both as good as advertised with Carnes right behind them. He has a cannon and can spin it when he has time. My take away from the game is that both teams are likely semifinal teams come November with shot at representing the East. Swafford is best player in 1A & 2A and deserves to be mentioned as one of best in state. Kid is a baller. The East still goes through Greenback as long as they keep their QB healthy. Their team can’t afford injuries as they appear to have little depth. Showdown with Pirates will be a good one come November.

Yeah one game at a time, you guys always seem to have the Jimmies and the Joes, just seem to trip up at the most inopportune times, hopefully you break through this time, good luck!

I don't like it when someone posts anything negative about kids, especially if they call an individual kid out. But what exactly did the site owner have to step in about? sounds alot like liberal, participation trophy, agenda indoctrination . lol

Big win firebirds! congrats!

Nolensville was a great place to watch a football game. Their student section was loud and proud.. Awesome environment with great support!

3A definitely has a solid case for p4p best, top 5 is really strong...

Big win Fire Birds

Been wanting to see you guys against Alcoa for years, hopefully this is the year it happens...

All the newspapers are owned by the Left and care nothing about sports. The best thing anyone can do is not read the things and hope they all go out of business. It's a sad world we live in when you have thousands of people at one place in town on a Friday Night and you pick up the paper the next day and 2 Crackheads that are worthless as titties on a bullfrog's pictures are on the front page in their new orange outfits they'll be wearing until they make bail..

Atta boy Firebirds!

i thought you said the crockett/sh game would be good? you're just full of lies in this thread blazer.....lol......greenevilles last conf. loss was vs boone....some ten or so years ago......yall played valiantly tonight.....boones always got some scrappy kids on their team.....turnovers made this one look closer than it really was though

Yeah the running game WITH the RBs have to be a strength of this team, we have kids that can carry the ball!

Congrats PC. Great win.

Putting 3A on alert!!!

Thorough beat down.

Come on man.

Gibson Co fans can’t troll other programs and talk smack in football. Kinda like them signs at theme parks. Y’all ain’t big enough yet bro.... Smack talk on the girls bball boards.

Wearing thin? LOL. He’s been there for half a minute and you’re throwing insults at him? You must be a BIG supporter of the program (or a parent that lil johnny ain’t playing enough, in your mind). Here’s a newsflash for you shag, this ain’t the NFL where they swap coaches like toilet paper. He’s infused a ton of enthusiasm into what was a DEAD program. Why don’t you go make out with Andy in the cell next to Otis....

Congrats to the Firebirds!
