hv, If I'm not mistaken, when you played them wasn't their QB hurt and a back filling in? I may be wrong, and am confusing your game with another. Either way, as long as South Greene get put out, I'll be happy! And anyone that knows me, knows I don't say that about very many folks.

Penny It will be ugly!

Just remember one name Tweed, stop him, and you stop them. If you are on the line, watch your knees. They are coached to hit low and hard. I didn't see much option when we played them, but Tweed made one of the prettiest catches I have ever seen, one handed, body horizontal, 6 feet off the ground!

Ron, My prayers are going out. Not only for this young man's family but also for the young man involved and his family, and the community as a whole. They all need our support now. There are no words to describe the sorrow they all must feel, and the loss we have all suffered.

I just hope it doesn't turn into a slobberknocker like the North Greene - West Greene game did. That was just survival of the most folks left standing. Last count I heard was 15 guys put out of that game for both sides. If North Greene brings that kind of intensity to this game, Oneida will at least know that they were there. Unless I miss my guess, Oneida will pass more than North Greene has seen in a while, luckily their pass defense has improved. I know NG's offense has become a little more balanced the last couple of weeks and is starting to click again. It just remains to be seen how well it holds up against the speed Oneida will throw at them. Tickets went on sale today, come on up and have a good time! If both teams bring their A game, it should be a good time for all.

Well, I'll throw my $.02 in. Lunsford at Cloudland: great job in one of the smallest schools Pemberton at Catholic: truely class act and an extremely well coached team Ensor at Unaka: made the tough decisions and has his team in a winning spirit, on the road to a winning tradition. Great job to all these guys, and good luck in the playoffs!

Well, which ever it was.... I like it!

newballer, just like the opportunity with Washington? The opportunity to destroy the cohesiveness of the team, making it rife with petty jealousy and bitterness? If that is what they missed with Leake, good riddance. I had heard so many good things about Bolden, I hope this is just another dumb rumor. If it's not, there is a whole bunch of guys out there that would kill for his spot and not whine cause their feelings was hurt. Like I said, I really hope for his sake this is not true, because it just means that he has succumbed to the spoiled, pampered athlete syndrom.

Mike I think you are right just from the players I've seen. There is definitly enough talent in Carter County for an O and a D.

not only is TV coverage rare, I don't think North Greene has ever had more than one play on a highlight show. Usually the other team scoring! I'll holler at you after the game and we'll work something out for a tape. No offense, but I really hope that Oneida is overlooking our boys. You have no idea what this game means to them. Their hopes at the beginning of the year were so high, and a couple of games slipped through their fingers because they were too tight. Those games cost them the county championship, so this is their 2 nd goal. North Greene has never won a playoff game. So I gotta support the Huskies on this one, go getem boys and don't let up, they will slip up on you if you do!

Any play that allows a big ol lineman to rumble, stumble, and bumble down the field with the ball! Gotta love it!

Lord have Mercy! I'll have to break out the good pair of overhauls! I hadn't heard about the TV stations, I'm assuming that you are part of the group that sending cameras from your statements. I really would like a quality tape, especially since the rules say I can't tape this one myself. The big guy might like to look back at this one someday with his kids. It's possible he could end up with a couple of offers, but this may also be his last time strappin them on. Kind of a sad occasion, he's been at it 12 years now, and it has really brought us close, I'm gonna miss it. Here I am feeling old again. I wish you could come up, I like to meet my coacht friends, and put a face to a name. Believe me, I understand the requirements of the job! Talk to you later!

Actually Kendren, I picked this avatar because I have a 12 pounder Napoleon on order. Well, the barrel anyway. Have to build the carriage when it arrives. I just love things that go BOOM! :justwrestle: I wasn't aware that the game was being broadcast, I may have to talk to you about a copy of the tape. And we can always be friends!

I'll add my best wishes also. I hope you all do well, a classier group of guys I've not met. Your coaches have done a wonderful job, and you have a lot to be proud of. Good luck, win state, and see you next year!

Unless I miss my guess, you may be very busy on Friday night. If I am correct, work hard and represent all of us in Greene County. I think you all have a good shot at going deep, just not sure how far, but rest assured you have the best wishes of all Greene County. Matthew has really come into his own the last few weeks. He was a little tenative early, but I think even the Catholic players were impressed with him, such has been his development. I'm working on my hoss, #68, getting him all psyched up. Hopefully this won't be his last game, but I think he might turn some heads if he will let it all hang out. The line has been doing much better about handling the late game, their energy level is much improved from earlier this year, but you are right, the big guys do tend to tire with no rotation. I'll tell ya another to watch for next year is Micah Dearstone. The young man had a 65 yd interception, and averaged 23 yds per carry last week if my memory serves me right. What we really need is a credible pass attack. Matthew is good, but he is one guy. We need to open it up to Cody Parks and Micah and really stretch the field so that the running backs can get that little seam up the middle without having to worry about 8 or 9 in the box. If any one of those 3 get behind the defense, it's Katy bar the door and give him 6. With Allen's comfort level increasing at QB, we should see more of that this week. Not to mention the line can rest alittle and pass block instead of drive blocking every down. Only time will tell I guess.... the boys can just keep trying to improve and give it their all. Good luck!

dude, whatcha talking about?

Sorry, ran into another one of Matthew's friends from G'ville there and we were talking about the website. I think you are right, got to get the ball to him. Set up the run, cause the Lynch boys and Cody Parks are hot running the ball right now. It all hinges on the line. If the big guys can open the holes on offense and close them on defense, well, I think it could be a very good game. BUT, if they come out emotionally down like they did against South Greene and Catholic, well, Oneida wins big. I think there are a few seniors that really don't want this thing to end, they are not ready to hang up their cleats, so we'll see.... I'm looking forward to the Huskies making history!

Uh, Ette Cloudland can't beat Greenback in the Third round, 'cause you have scientifically proven that North Greene will beat them in the second round!

Kim, I hope we're busy a few weeks anyway, but this is a pretty hectic time to get together. Before you know it that other sport will start.... what is it they call it.... you know, the one where they push in the ends of a football and make it round.... bucketball.. no, shucks it don't even involve any hitting or tackling, can it really be a sport?

Juice, you got it nailed man. By the way, I didn't happen to run into you on Saturday in JC did I?

King I watched those boys play thier hearts out last Thursday. The managed to line up right everytime believe it or not. And that group of Freshmen and Sophomores managed to execute fairly well. They have a great player in McGaha (sic), only a 10th grader, but a leader and coach on the field. There is not a team out there with the heart and drive of Cosby that I have seen. Don't disrespect their effort. They play under the same rules as everyone else, whether or not everyone thinks it's fair.

krich That is bad news, more for those young men than for the team, but it does affect the team also. Keep us up on Kasey, Scott, and Andrew, and tell them they are in the thoughts of all of region 1. Come on Rangers, step it up and make these fine young men proud!

landerdog, I was talking about $10 a piece!

camarogirl I've seen the size o' some of them bellies, $10 worth of paint ain't gonna do it! You may have to up you offer!

Andy, I expected better of you than that! I don't care for the coach either, but the boys being greene county boys deserve our support.
