  1. Ok Lady Kee here otherwise known to you as Crazy Lady lol (trust me I took that as a joke and not a stab). Just to clarify your statement regarding Greenback coaches....I disagree with your statement that they have a reputation for getting ejected during games and here is why. To my knowledge since head coach Caldwell has been at Greenback he has only been ejected from the game one time and that was last night vs GCA. Coach Ryan has been ejected once vs GCA in baseball and may have been confined to dugout vs GCA in a previous season vs GCA in baseball but someone else will need to confirm if that is indeed the outcome that I recall from a previous game. He was also ejected once vs GCA in football and that was due to “Helmetgate” lol. In all the years he has coached both sports he has never been ejected playing vs anyone else and trust me he has had issues with officiating from time to time as does most coaches AND it never mattered if we were winning or losing at the time it was about principle. So if you want to say we occasionally or more truthfully often have issues with officiating vs GCA at GCA to the point that GB coaches get reprimanded and/or ejected then hey I agree with that but a reputation in general WILL NOT FLY! It’s only happened on GCA fields! Now I will say there is a lot of mutual respect between the players over recent years and all the kids involved just play the game. This is all at the hands of officiating and coaches. I sure bet the GCA players would much rather win straight out without all the **astericks as well as GB players. In this rivalry the winner should be able to win outright and the loser should not feel robbed. It was a 2-2 ballgame going into the 7th that ended in controversy robbing either team of a glorified win. So not only did GB kids get robbed but in my book so did the GCA kids. The adults need to get over themselves and let these kids duke it out fair and square on the field for these are some of the best years of their lives and both squads have perfected their craft for many years. And might I add it didn’t help any wondering the intentions of the field judge that ejected the GB catcher for he was the same guy who 2 years ago in the postseason called the GB player out for missing 2nd base when the batter behind him hit a HR and they were both just jogging thru to home plate. #23 wears a size 14 cleat so that’s a lot of foot to make contact with a bag plus when he says he touched it I know he touched it. That’s just the kind of person he is. If he missed it or even thought he might have he would have admitted it. So to say we are a little jaded is an understatement for it seems the craziest stuff always happens on the field next to the church. I know in life we are supposed to turn the other cheek but just how many cheeks are GB kids expected to have!

  2. I’m not condoning the reaction by the baseball coach specifically but the football one, most definitely. The referee deserved it and it was needed. If you can condone a player ripping a helmet off and saying his hand got stuck then that’s kind of the pot calling the kettle black.

  3. About time you responded to my magnificent trolling. I was about to think I was losing my touch. LOL I thought for a couple of hours that we might have found the 1 Ram above reproach, and yet you stoop down to the level us heathens once again!

  5. No reason for Greenback to ever play Grace bc this is the result every time. Grace gets the laugh at the reactions and Greenback fans look like the whiners but it has to be obvious they only complain about one opponent. O&B is correct a book can be wrote about the grace bandits for over a decade. Being the Christian men that GCAPride or RaiseemRight are I think they should poke around a little bit and put a stop to the thievery since their boys moved on or will be moving on and will no longer need to reap the benefits cheating to win games. Think about this tied ball game going into the last inning with one of your best hitters coming up as he’s taking his catcher gear off to get ready to bat you see the field umpire not the ump behind the plate but the field umpire go to the dugout to eject him for wearing a two piece helmet gear that he has wore all year. I believe any coach would blow a gasket especially bc there were so many calls out in the field from this ump that was so horrid that no way he can sleep at night for being the thief he is. To top it off the catcher and coach has to sit out two more games. Stole two games from this kid’s senior year. Hope the ump makes it to sunrise service in the morning.

  6. I appreciate what coach Caldwell did and have zero problem with the way he reacted. I understand if you snowflakes don't agree. The one thing that I do not understand is why this happens every time we come up there. All of the other Knoxville private schools take their whippins from us rednecks and never try and cheat the kids. I have a theory, maybe GCA has an inferiority complex. Let me explain, you have Webb, Catholic, Cak, Berean Christian, Concord Christian, Freedom Christian, Bla bla bla Christian then way down here you have Grace Christian Academy just barely above lowly old Greenback. Webb, Catholic and CAK are old money,GCA is like the hustler that hit the lottery for $100,000 and joined the cigar and scotch club the next week. GCA just can see to much of their old self in us rednecks and they are so desperately trying to leave it behind that they will do anything they have to separate their next generation from their past . Maybe even persuade the ump/refs with a greased palm!? Just a theory could be completely wrong but it is all I can come up with to explain the injustice to our kids each and every time they visit Beaver Ridge Rd.

  7. Its always against you guys tho!Come on bud,why does this not happen ANYWHERE else.LOL.You even you have to admit thats kinda wierd.lol.The helmet has been fine for over 20 games against better teams but GCA starts getting scared of losing to us Rednecks again and they pull this.I never did get an answer WHY was it moved to THEIR home field and not a neutral??You cant shake me on this one,its a never ending story and honestly if i had to have a star player of the opposing team ejected---that would be more embarrassing.Im just glad it didnt end happen to that Coalfield bunch or there would have been a fight.What is it with you guys a helmets anyway,what did they do to you?

  10. 1.5.4 situation A (Fed casebook- 2015) "The home team's catcher takes his position behind the platte in the top of the first inning with a skull cap helmet-and-mask combination. Ruling: This is illegal. A catcher will be required to wear head protection with double ear flaps that meets the NOCSAE standard. He will be told to get a legal helmet-and-mask combination. If he does not comply, he will be ejected." From everything I have read about the rule it does not matter if it is a 2 piece or full helmet as long as it covers the ears or has flaps that protect the ears.

  11. I could not help it. It is just sickening that this happens every time we go up there, except in boys basketball and they just mop the floor with us. But anything that we are actually competitive in it happens every time.

  12. Crappie fished Kentucky Lake, mostly the Big Sandy river most of my life. You wouldn't believe the numbers of crappie I've caught on my stake beds through the years. But all that is history now as the Asian carpet have ruined the crappie fishing. They are coming your way so it's just a matter of time for y'all. Better get after our worthless TWRA to get off their dead butts to do something about it.
