Ira lost his battle last night.He was 100% Greenback!His whole family was and is loved and respected in our Community and County.He will be greatly missed.

I got the text about 8am yesterday.My all time favorite meet and greet was at the speedway with Mike and Tom and a few other SP fans.They became great friends!!Pirate Mike was one of the toughest little guys I have ever met in my life,Heaven got one of the best.My prayers go to all of his family and his Pirate family as well.

No,no,no!Runner up to the Lake County bunch.lol (as you know)I missed that one too.

Very fitting of the situation.Only if Daniel was here to explain it to the school board.

Less than 20,DC left also.The Guy who was doing the O will now do the D.lol.Clemmer says he will run the Offense.Just keeps getting worse.Reminds me of the monkey and the football.Not sure if its even smart to put these young kids in harms way,very young,i just hope they can defend themselves and not get hurt.Whitwell,Loudon and CF first three up.5 of the best players transferred can't blame them.Last year had some good players and still can't get them in the right place.Terrible situation for our community.

Man you hit the nail on the head!!Great post from someone who actually understands the small school.

Of course.Most play more than one.

Unfortunately we did after the first hire, that's why we tried to fight it so bad. this is a bad situation for our community and school.

The ironic thing is that in 13 or 14 they did the same thing to the baseball team and hired a moron to coach them and the kids refuse to play. nobody came out they changed the coach to a competent baseball coach and within 3 years went to win a state championship.so things do hold water when it comes to these things.

No.New regime at Catholic has their own staff.

Not looking good Captain,not looking good.We had 0 Srs before all this and had a decent amount of Sophmores and 4 or 5 Jrs.Now I heard we have about 14 kids I have not confirmed that and honestly I don't think I will go any further with it.What the community wants and what the faithful supporters along with players and parents it doesn't matter.The Loudon School board made the decision for us and it has killed our program.Folks can say butt hurt whiners whatever they want to but we are a very proud Community and expect the BEST choices to be made from our Administration and that's just not the case.I was at a Basketball game this winter for my grandkids and ran into a former teammate of mine that I actually coached youth league with for a number of years and he told me they were over 100 applications turned in and they hired the best friend of the School board Member who suggested him.He has even reached out to try to help the guy and he refused so here we are going into the fourth season of bad football.GB since 1985 has not had 3 consecutive bad seasons,now we are facing 4 with no help in sight.How are we supposed to get behind such incompetence?Dingle berry says we sound like Democrats lol.Democrats accept all the crazy and weirdness in this world and just roll with it.Im no Democrat.I'm also tired of fighting for something that our say so holds to water.

2 alcoa,2 Eagleton and 1 to Heritage

Exactly!

Greenback has 0 Srs.Just lost 5 starters to transfer.2 Alcoa,2 Eagleton and 1 to Heritage.Heard we only have 14 total as of now.looks like we will battle Sunbright for the worst record.SMH.

Cloudland lost their best players by the end of the season and was a Mash unit,it was a playoff win yes but Cloudland was in a very bad way and we still struggled.My good friend from their called me and said you all will win by 20!We won by 21 but Cloudlands wheels fell off in the 4th.So I'm not the "He won a playoff game band wagon with the situation Cloudland was in.)Our region record is more important than that anyway at this time and we have been on the bottom since Greg left.We beat the bad teams we should beat with the exception of Rockwood and got blew out by the other teams we usually dominate.That was a very talented Sr class last year and was less than mediocre.We are squeaking by just to make the playoffs and for almost 40 years was the top one or runner up.I was told today we have 14 kids,I have not confirmed that but he is usually a very good source. It's not looking good for a full season right now if it's true.They approved a MS football team so that will take the 8th graders out of the equation also till their season is complete. Losing 5 starters would hurt any team but kill a 1A program.Yes to answer your question hiring a guy whom Loudon wouldn't EVEN CONSIDER for the MS program to coach a program like Greenback will definitely do us in.I think they have achieved their goal!Edminston sat us back 20 years now Clemmer has killed us.Two excruciatingly bad hires.
