We're down to the nub and getting a 10th game kind of reminds me of these restaurants having to pay some loser a $500 signing bonus just to show up for work.

Sad day for Heritage High School with the passing of former teacher, assistant coach and head football coach of their program from 1990 til 1993 Sam Kyker. A 40 year educator in the Blount County System and a very well liked person among former students. Will be missed by the Heritage Family.

You would think some team would jump at a great draw for attendance.playing Alcoa,

Former Alumni watching from Heaven giving approval to the guy that cleaned that yellow mess off the football field.

I know what your saying, that's why I started this thread because it's like nothing I've ever seen before. It's like Agent Dad on Steroids. I was surprised how many they got out of Alcoa which is in my home county. They got one from Maryville also. I'm just curious how the fox is getting into the hen house stealing so many of these kids that are very young with great athletic potential. Has someone created a new App for this.

Manu to Alcoa and Young to Catholic. Many more . Greenback losing 5 players plus the 8th graders won't be playing at the high school anymore since they are playing for their junior high. That could desyroy their program.

It was good to see football starting this evening with a 7 on 7 event between Maryville and Anderson County. With two games going with all players going in and out on both sides of the field I really focused on the qb play more than anything. Also someone did a good job cleaning that yellow paint off the field, really looked good.

It's that time of the year where "Father Knows Best" and pulls little Johnny out of school for a bigger role at another place across town. 2024 should be a very interesting year with all the tranferring going on causing a domino effect at some places.

This pretty much sums up most small towns anywhere USA. This is how the corrupt Politians keep moving among the shaddows. People are tired when they come home from work let alone having to go set in a boring meeting that may not get to their topic for 2 hours or more. Most people would think the people they vote for would do the right thing but they'll chit on you in a New York minute just as the cop/school board member done to Greenback.

Happy Birthday Rebelwoman

When you have a school that right at 200 kids only half are going to be male and to get 25% of them to come out for football is a very hard task. Take away an 8th grade syatem and your you have another hill to climb up. If 5 kids are actually leaving your not going to have enough for practice. Your only chances for wins would be against the weakest of weak teams. At one time Greenback had kids coming across the wall like the Mexican Border and now their leaving town before sundown. A hugh mistake was made on not hiring Ryan back because of his ties to the community and his ability to bring in the right kids, not run them off. The last coach failed because he wasn't one of community so they go out and do it again. I'm sure Coach Clemmer is a good person because I do know people that do like him but he is caught in the middle of a fan base that will not support him no matter what and it could lead to a disaster if that many kids are leaving the program. The person that caused all of this mess has no business on the school board and needs to stick with hiding in the bushes giving out speeding tickets to out of towners coming through.

With the loss of 5 players plus losing the 8th graders I can't see Greenback fielding much more than a 18 man team this year and if so the Sunbright game may be their only chance of a win from what I heard this morning.

Scott County and possibly Karns.

Can't blame you one bit for the way your feeling. Eventually a lot of the money people will cut ties there if this WOKE agenda keeps moving forward bringing in outsiders when openings happen. This continues because most Maryville Alumni won't step forward all because of what the Smith's and the Jone's may think of them. It's war in my mind and I'm ready to take it on.

It will be hard opening up a restaurant and coaching a High School Football team at the same time but he did take this job as an interm coach to stop the bleed. The program is in scorched earth mode right now and could drop down to the likes of Scott County, Campbell County and Karns if they lose most of their kids out of this.

This is really getting ugly with the private schools raiding the public schools like they were their minor league.

Good move to get someone in there fast before the boat totally sinks. If they had Fiddly Farted around there the Cupboard might have turned up empty when fall practice starts.

The only jobs that seem to be safe right now is the lunch ladies and the janitor.

They'll start showing up in yard sales this week.

I woder what cleaning service got the contract to clean the yellow paint off that football field. Not sure what was used but somebody needs to send them a 5 Star Google Review cause it does look good.

Looks like a lot of Clinton fans are very upset with Coach Keiths departure on 5Stars today.

Hearing some good news today that our cat will be extended a ninth life so he won't be going to Powell afterall. Not to say there won't be a price to pay on his part but I believe he'll do better. Maryville will need to good two back system to be a good team this year. Hearing Price has came out of the weight room looking like Superman which will help his stock climb with the college scouts. Unbelievable offensive line will be a big factor and why I see this team 9-1 or better.

Just curious, is Bishop still at UT. Hope he does well.

What coach in their right mind would want to come here and set theirself on fire to keep her warm.

The facility is a dump. I haven't seen all the playing fields across Tennessee but this is the worst one I have seen in East Tennessee. I could take you to a handful of old fields that haven't had a high school in sixty years left to youth leagues that are a heck of a lot better shape than this place.
