"WOW!!!" that is the first text message I sent to a buddy of mine.. The next one was "Speed, Speed, Speed" Both of which were sent in the 1st half mind you... Yeap I went up to South Pittsburg to go watch this team for myself after hearing about them all year. I live in Hixson, TN. now after moving down from Kingsport, TN. I have watched allot of High school football in the last 19 years, Both in Tenn and Virginia. I have been to several games in both the Chattanooga and North Ga. area this year but have not seen a team as good as South Pittsburg in a LONG time. No they are not very big and will not just pound on you till you can't get up.. No these guys just run around and by you so fast you can't even get a hand on them. Their first play of the game was an off tackle and the boy was not even touched for a 99 yard TD. Then a 68 yd pass to #21 who just flat out ran by three guys before the ball had left the QB's hand. it's not hard to complete 90% of your passes when you have guys running that open. Then came a couple flashy runs and passes where the boys just made the tacklers look lost and I was just sitting there with my mouth wide open. Even the QB had a run where he left tacklers grasping at air.... I went to watch a good football game and what I saw was an AWESOME football TEAM! I would also like to say "Thanks" to Geno for the warm hospitality... I just happened to sit right in front of him and he along with his friends filled me in on allot of what South Pittsburg football is all about. I'll come back up in two weeks but I have got to go watch my beloved GATE CITY BLUE DEVILS play in the 2nd. round of the Virginia playoffs next Saturday.... Save me a seat ok Geno...?? Good luck against Gordonsville and I hope it's South Pittsburg and Hampton... That could be a very interesting ball game...

Well I thought I would add my two cents into this topic after what I went and saw last night. I have seen a ton of high school football since my playing days ended in 1988. I have watched and played football up in the Region 1 area. I have watched good football over in Virginia Class A Div. II all the way to a state championship in 2003 (GO Gate City) I have seen Knoxville area teams play, some mid Tenn. teams, and have also been to three Blue Cross Bowls in the past 6 years. But what I saw in South Pittsburg was a first for me. That has to be one of the fastest TEAMS I have seen take a field. They have speed to burn, and just pure athletic ability up and down this whole football team. It will be an upset if they do not make it to a State Championship. The only thing I see slowing them down is themselves. They are not very big but I feel to beat them it will take a shot out type game and I??™m not sure if anyone in this State can stay with them. I would also like to thank Geno for the hospitality. We had never met I just went to a game and happened to sit in front of him. Got an Awesome team Geno... I'll be back in South Pitt in two weeks to watch them play Hampton i hope. On my way to watch GATE CITY play in the 2nd. round on the VA. playoffs next Saturday...

Region 3 A/AA Championship Semi. (1) Grace Baptist - 3 East Ridge - 1 Semi. (2) Boyd Buchanan - 3 Notre Dame - 0 Region Championship Boyd Buchanan -3 Grace Baptist - 1 Boyd is Region 3 Champion and Grace is runner-up No other Grace Volleyball team has ever made it to sub-state before so this is a first for our program. We are all very proud of them. It has been a long hard season, but they seem to be playing their best ball right now.

District 5 A/AA from McMinn Central 10-6-07 (1) McMinn Central over Sliverdale 3-2 (2) Grace over Temple 3-0 (3) Grace over McMinn Central 3-0 Grace moves on to play for the District 5 Championship Tuesday night @ Boyd Buchanan I have not heard who but my money is that it will be against Boyd.. Grace really showed up and played. Looked like the team who finished in 2nd. at the Hixson TX.

WOW I opened up a good one didn't I? Well it seems safe to say that a true State poll can not be found but that many members have their own ideas as to who is the best in the state. With my daughter now playing both club and school ball for the last three years all over the state I have had a chance to see some very good volleyball played. I am not about to do any rankings as I have not seen every game nor I have not seen ever team. But of the teams I have seen I would say that Brentwood, DB, GPS, Ooltweah, AC, Greenbrier, KC, Independence, Red Bank, Father Ryan, would have to all be in my top 10. now again this is just a list of teams that I HAVE seen play first hand. So what can we as members do to help clear this up in the future?

I have looked all over the internet and even this site looking for some state rankings for all classes in volleyball. Also I was hoping I could find win/loss totals for many teams and could only find a few... is this more of a fan updated thing here? I would like to see who is considered as some of the top teams across the whole state, and what their records are. It's a shame that sports like volleyball are not kept up with as much as football,basketball and baseball...

Hello everyone. I have some questions about High School Football in the Chattanooga area. I'm about to move my family from Upper North East Tennessee to Hixson TN. I LOVE high School football and I never miss a friday night. I have fallowed Gate City VA. football for a long time and to be honest it is breaken my heart to give it up. But life moves on and you have to go where the work is. So now I am looking for a new school to fallow. Or just wondering what will be the best games to go see during the year. Any info you can give me about the area would be wonderful. See you under Fright Night lights!! -Rob

Richlands is a VERY good football team..!! Now Gate City is no where near the same level of team they have put on the field in the last 3-4 years but Richlands took them to the shed easy... I say they will run the table in the regular season and make a serious run in the playoffs. I don't think any team has scored on them yet this season. It will be interesting to see them against some of the speed in northen VA. Now I ask you who is the team to beat in East Tenn this year? DB seems to be down and I don't think that SHHS is ready to make a serious run yet.. Has THS taken a step back too? Just not hearing allot of news about East Tenn teams this year. Most of what I am hearing is about Knox Area teams and west...

Hello. I'm checking here to see what is the game times for Tennessee games. My team (Gate City, VA.) has a bye week this friday and I thought I would go see the Boone @ Cherrokee game. They kick off @ 7:30 in VA. I thought it might be 7:00 over here. Thanks...

Hey GC_Quincy.... I see you come by here too.. Not much of a game to watch tonght was it? I thought the D looked better but then again it was Coeburn.. The test will be PV this year... I think they can move and score of us.. Lets hope that this team can get a fire going under them by then.. I heard that Cloudland plays JJ Kelly this year too.. Is that right? That will be interesting.. Well seeya in Pound next week.

I just wanted to say CONGRATS to Greenville, D-B, Betsy, and U. High. for getting all the way to BORO! I'm very happy for all the teams, players, coaches, fans, and families.... Best of luck and bring home some championships back to East Tennessee...!

I did enjoy watching that game.. I am neither a SH or DB fan cause I grow up in the county and always hated city schools... Even though Greenville is a city school too I never had to face them growing up so I stood up and cheered for them as hard as I would my own school... And I will return tomorrow night and cheer for them again... It was nice to watch the cocky SH boys walk out of Freedom Hall (SH home #2) with their heads low knowing they had just been handed a big lose and could not live up to SH teams of the past.. I bet that # 34 kid is still fouling people right now. I would really like to talk allot of trash but it really is not worth it.. I am just happy their run is OVER in NET... Now I hope that the Green Devils can do it one more time....

Thanks... Just whish they would get region 2 brackets on that page fixed!!!!!

I should also make it clear that I am looking for the Class AAA Region 2 brackets... Maybe that will help...

I didn;t say which class... I ment the Class AAA Region 1 tourn... Sorry...

Will all 4 games be tuesday??

I can not find the region 2 brackets anywhere.. Who is in and who beat who to get there???? Thanks..

I was trying to find out some info on the kid (humpfrey I think is his name) at Maryville.. I got to see him play in the Arby's but have not heard anything or seen him sense.. what is his stats? How is the team doing? Thanks.

I sent them an e-mail and asked them if they could but but they have not got back to me.. I want the Maryville vs. Hillsboro game more then others but would still like to see all of them.. If you come up with the name let me know ok.. Thanks..

I just went to the TSSAA site and looked to see what area's FOX/UPN will be airing the State Football Championships on and my town/area is not one of them.. I geuss they feel like Northeast Tennessee could care less sense all our team got beat.. I would still like to somehow be able to wacth the games. So I was wondering if anyone who lives in the right area would be willing to record the games for me.. I would be more then happy to buy the tapes and even pay for shipping if someone whould do this for me... you can e-mail me back if you would be willing to do this.. roba22@chartertn.net Thanks.. -Rob

Anyone have the link to that post??????

I will try my best to find the tv listing for the games here in East Tennessee.. I live in Kingsport so if anyone knoes of the time and channel PLEASE either e-mail me or post it here.. THANKS..

And tape the games.. Well one or two of them for me.. I would like to have the Class A/ AAA/ AAAA/ and AAAAA games taped if you could... I would pay for the tapes and the cost of mailing if you would.. e-mail me and let me know.. roba22@chartertn.net

I would give about anything to make that game... but I can not make it... I know that all the game will be Webcast right? What about haveing them on TV? When will the state of Tennessee join up with other states and broadcast the state championship's on TV so the entire state and wacth these awesome games.. I think it would be awesome for the players who have worked their butts off to get to this point..
