They would have to move 20 miles radius away from the school they attended to be eligible for sports or sit out a year. Thats the exact reason Boo Carter went to BC last year because he wouldn't have been eligible to play football at Brainerd since Chattanooga Christian was in that 20 mile radius and he had a football record there. I've also seen the State MVP for Alcoa sit out an entire year because he didn't move and transferred from Knox Catholic to Alcoa which wasn't 20 mile radius away. Now they can apply for a hardship with the TSSAA is another way and has to be approved.

School are currently operating under the same restrictions as it currently sits for each division. (Some might be operating illegally when it comes to recruiting). It sounds like some people need to talk to their school boards about changing how things are written or allow transfer to be easier to get into their school system. Like I've stated for year in the eyes of the TSSAA over 95% of the public schools in the state are Open Enrollment and the TSSAA can't do anything about that or would have their pants sued off.

He is committed as a 3B or Catcher. (Can really play anywhere with how athletic he is) He plays SS for Greeneville when he isn't pitching and plays for Caines National for travel ball. Won Prep Baseball Player of the week for week one batting .538 (14-26) with 7 doubles, 1 home run, 7 runs batted in, and scoring 9 times. He would make two appearances on the mound during this stint, going 1-0, with 1 save. He would allow 0 hits, 1 walk, and 11 strikeouts in his 6.1 innings of work.

Greeneville had some nice wins last year with how young they were beating Alcoa, Bearden, Morristown West, and Morristown East who all either made the sub state or played at the Glass House. Greeneville returns Thompson, Anderson, Tweed, Mcgill, and Mills that either started or was first off the bench and got a lot of playing time. McGill was a Junior, Thompson, Anderson, and Tweed were Sophomores and Mills who was a Freshman. There were 4 seniors on the team last year. Greeneville should be good next year as long as everyone stays healthy

Good in theory but the TSSAA can't limit the amount of kids eligible in open zones they would get their pants sued off by the government. Also in the eyes of the TSSAA over 95% of the schools in Tennessee are open zoned. (Anyone that has a transfer policy on file with the school board and can accept a student that is zoned for somewhere else is open zoned. It does not matter the reason or how easy or how hard it is to get a transfer approved.)

Very fun to watch and the best team to come through Greeneville in my opinion. (There has been some very good teams come through the years that made it to state in the largest classification) Now the question is where will Gillespie end up transferring to from Belmont. (I called it that it would be a two year destination for him because he got overlooked just being 6'1) This season he averaged 17 points, 3.8 reb, 4.2 Ast., 2.2 steals, and shot 56% from the field

Those three have been starting at Fulton since they were Freshman and knew they would make a run and be tough to beat the last two years. Greeneville was just to good with Gillespie and Satterfield when these Seniors were Freshman and Sophomore.

Pretty bold statement about UC winning it all if Prep wasn't in it. Prep beat them worse than the other two teams they played in the tournament......

They beat their 3a teams outside of Alcoa but lost to 4a Carter and had close games with 5a Cocke County (1-9) and 4A Fulton (2-9). They weren't a bad team but wouldn't have made it to the Quarters playing 4a last year having to go up against teams like Betsy, AC, and Greeneville in the first few rounds if they would have made it to the top 4 in their Conference (Carter finished 3rd in their Conference so probably a 4 seed in stead of Fulton playing Greeneville first round). No clue about the cabin thing, don't follow GP that close.

You can but GP wouldn't have faired any better in 4a. They lost to Carter by 20 last year who was put out in the first round by Betsy 38-0

Jody Wright gave some huge praise to the Bees and know it will be a test against them. He told 5starpreps after the Fulton win that "Really impressed with them tonight. They took on a team that was far more athletic than we were and just dismantled them". "Really ran some good stuff. Well Coached. We'll have our hands full with those guys. They're Good!"

Cookeville might win but don't think they beat Maryville by 20 like that.

I 100% agree with you and personally know Bible your head coach since he is a Greeneville guy. You have already beat Upperman earlier in the year which is no small task

She definitely did! Whats is crazy is if she and AaLiyah Story (One of David Crockets best players) at 6'2 played at Greeneville like both their dads, Greeneville would be even better than they are. Athleticism runs deep with hard work.

Couldn't agree more! Don't know if this is Cocke County's year but know they return a ton next year with how young they are and starting 1 senior. Doesn't hurt when Carmichael (Freshman Starting Post) Dad was a Mr. Football Winner for Greeneville and will only get better!

Yes after the Region but before the substate this year. Trust me I think everyone agrees the TSSAA should have communicated that better and it not just show up when they released the brackets before the substate games.

No it means every year they do a blind draw and has nothing to do with the previous years blind draw. They went ahead and did the blind draw before the substate games this year so after all the substate games you already knew who you were going to face at the Glass House. In years pass they did the blind draw after all the substate games had been played.

In 3a Junior Carson Quillen from Greeneville a Virginia Tech Commit. He was a Mr. Baseball Finalist and the TBCA Class 3A Player of the Year last year. He had a .429 batting average, 51 hits, 13 doubles, 37 RBIs and 20 stolen bases. As a pitcher, he had a 10-0 record, struck out 69 had a .609 ERA. Threw a 3 hitter in the State Championship last year as a Sophomore.

You aren't lying about that! I've been in it long enough to see that change and how crazy it has gotten since 2020. East Tennessee was a hidden gem thats been discovered by everyone and their mother

Upperman is the clear favorite. No one thought Greeneville would be back at the glass house this year losing 4 starters off a team that had made the State Tournament two years in a row. Coach Watts have them playing well right now so there shouldn’t be any pressure on the Greene Devils. Just go out and have fun!

As a Real Estate Broker you are right on the money! They will have to build a new high school towards Watt Rd on that side of 40 before you know it. Farragut is 90-95% developed and Hardin Valley is becoming the new Farragut in Knoxville.

Boddie Bible has down a great Job with the Lady Big Red team! Proud of a Greeneville Boy seeing successful. I remember when Boddie would officiate games when I was playing basketball in high school back in Greeneville

The hate you have for a coach that won DB's first State Basketball Championship two years ago since 1945 and took the team back last year is funny. Poore knows more about basketball in his pinky finger than you know about basketball. Keep making yourself look like a clown

No he was talking about Zeller who stepped in to be the interim coach this past season after being the head coach at LC for years. Zeller Coached at Greeneville from 99-2006 and then went to be the head coach at LC after. Lead LC to the Quarter Final's but lost by a TD to Powell and Mobley.

I don't blame you for that and still think they will be a very good team. It's going to be tough to replace players that have started for the last 2-3 years in Bowers, Hoard, Scott, A. Smith, and CJ Smith along with Cummings who transferred in last year.
