EZ - there is just something special about Greenbrier all together. The kids come together no matter what the background. The kids decide who they will make their friends. They see the others for who they are not what they have. You do not find this in most small towns. As for football - When we moved back to Greenbrier and my son decided to play for the first time (his whole life) in the 7th grade, I was told by a few people that he would never see playing time. I was told "you know how small towns are, they go by your last name, money, etc..." They told me other kids never get to show their talents because it is all one sided and who you know type thing. THEY ARE WRONG! Because of our coach's knowledge of football and my son's talents he is on the field! If I went and stood beside those coaches they couldn't tell you who I am from Eve! Oh they have probably seen me with Tyler, kissing him after a game, talking to him etc but they have no clue past that. I have not kissed anyone's bottom, paid them money, took them to dinner etc...It has been pure talent and the love of the game from my son, nothing more nothing less. Greenbrier coach's are not like that and that is one reason they have winning football teams! Tyler was accepted for the most part by everyone within a short amount of time. Now he is in the 10th grade but feels as though he has been there forever. He will be the first to tell you that the upperclassmen have treated him with nothing but respect. They have helped him if he needed it and never thought anything about it. He told me that is the way it should be and the way it will continue to carry over with his class. He loves his friends, coaches, teachers, friend's parents more and more with ever passing year. We are very blessed to live in a great community.... And before I forget, I pick Greenbrier by 10! GO BOBCATS!!!!!

My uncle emailed this to me and I just couldn't keep it to myself, humor is a GREAT thing!! GO BOBCATS!! Football analysis by a blonde... A guy took his blonde girl friend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience. "Oh, I really liked it," she replied. "Especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents." Dumbfounded, her date asked, "What do you mean?" "Well, I saw them flip a coin and one team got it, and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback! Hel-LLLO! It's only 25 cents!"

I agree Roger Herndon is a great player and I have a lot of respect for his game. However, Roger himself says he could not do what he does without his teammates. I have already heard from others that next years Bobcats are going to be "nothing" without him. I disagree. I know a few of these players have heart and love the game. The fans need to stand behind their team no matter who is playing. Filling a child's head with negatives give you just that negatives! People should think before they speak especially about their next team. What if you have some great players but they don't try because they think they can't win if they don't have Roger Herndon? Who's fault will it be? Good Luck to ALL Bobcat players present & future!

I read through all 3 pages wondering when Clint Russell was going to show up. What a kid! IF he is not the best in the state (I said IF) then he has to be ranked in the top 3. Go Greenbrier!

Greenbrier's freshman QB looks good for our future. My son told me his name but I forget, Sorry! But what I have seen of him, he looks good. thumb

Well, I guess this is it boys & girls. Someone gets bragging rights for a year tonight. I sure hope it is the guys in green! Regardless of what happens, Greenbrier's team is a group of good guys. I am proud my son is part of the team. From freshman up they seem to care a lot about each other, and they treat the other teams with respect. I LOVE good sportsmanship! See you there. I will be the one with the green shirt on, *giggle*. lions & tigers & BOBCATS, OH MY!

GBT57 - too late, I had my hanky when I was typing it! LOL

Oh how I wish Springfield could pull this one off! You know last year when we were in the playoffs, as I looked around I saw White House, Springfield, Portland and others there to support us! Some Robertson County some not BUT within spittin' distance. Why am I saying this? I am saying this because we ARE neighbors and neighbors are there for each other. SO of course we are hoping and praying that Springfield wins! We are behind you neighbor!

OMGoodness, it may have been a JV game but those guys were GREAT! Both sides! I thought they were playing a bowl game, lol. Of course they had some mishaps but it was a good game. I think this was a great look ahead to the future between these guys. In a couple of years when they are seniors, WOW, what a game it should be! GO BOBCATS! And the final was: David L. - 18 Greenbrier - 14

Still laughing over "The Streak", too funny! I am pretty sure that the majority of Greenbrier would get a kick over it. GO BOBCATS!

Like everyone else I lift Kyle & Clint up in prayer. Speedy recovery guys! Mistakes are going to happen no matter how good you are, it's life! Now on the other hand, not thinking before you do is another thing. I THINK last night's game was mainly good old fashioned misakes. There was once or twice I was wondering but hey, who am I to judge, I'm not out there in their cleats, lol. Keep the hard work up guys! We are behind you! Go Greenbrier!

I am SO excited that it is finally Friday AND we will have great weather! May God have his hand on all players and fans tonight! GO GREENBRIER!

I can't believe today is ONLY Wednesday! I want to be at this game - it should be a good one!

As a Mom of a football/basketball player, I KNOW how important sports are in this day and time...Sports keep kids off the streets, off drugs and keeps them in school! Even though I am in Robertson County I still feel for the parents and students in Cheatham County. If I thought I could do anything to help them I would...I know I will have them in my prayers!
