HOW 'BOUT THEM GREENE DEVILS!?! STATE CHAMPS!!!!!!

Hey TDArtist - lost my old password so I had to create new account. Great job on making the finals, I knew you would challenge the men. Good luck tomorrow from 1coopdaddy (AKA jchs76)

The rivalry with Jefferson City was much more competitive, school size and won/loss speaking. I played in the 74 and 75 games, actually had an interception as a defensive lineman in the 74 game at CCHS. It was always heated during the games, a lot of smack talk and not much love lost afterwards either. Chrisman was the real deal and a heck of a guy, too. I have a friend who coached with Dale at MoWest and spoke very highly of him, too. Kisabeth had the Collins family and some other great athletes he motivated to be their best. It was a great time for JCHS, maybe some day they will regain the glory. I have to keep up with them here as I live in Nashville and really don't get there too much anymore. Thanks for the good memories!

Wow, the wheels must have fallen off for JCHS. I have been trying to keep up with them as I graduated in the first class from there, but none of the regulars seem to be writing much. As far as the rivalry, Celticsfan, I remember many HEATED games between Jeff City HS and Newport, then we won the 1st of the new series in '75 as Patriots. They had a tough running back named Chrisman that year, he was the real deal. His uncle was the head coach. I met him later at ETSU and found out he was a good guy, we usde to hate everybody from Cocke Co.
