    Greeneville doesn’t have the whole home side reserved. A lot of overflow goes to the visitors side tho and it’s a good place to watch the game imo. 

    Burley definitely a good place to watch a game. Wish they would find a way to build another locker room for visiting team though, instead of gym.

    You’re acting like Greeneville controls the  clock and get to pick the Refs.  It’s been a back and forth game with Greeneville taking advantage on special teams and Betsy moving the ball well with Screens, deep passes, and Rollins being Rollins

    The officiating crew just terrible for both teams. I shouldn’t have said anything. Just agitated with no calls

    That's certainly possible and if true that exposes a huge a depth weakness.    And no disrespect taken, when playing Elizabethton every year Boone either gets beat or finds a way to lose.     2-33 against the Cyclones, that says it all.    Ten years from now we will still have this conversation, by then it will be 2-43.... YIKES!!

    True, with the lack of Spring ball, limitations on fall workouts with no scrimmages, it has made it very hard to gain the depth needed for those early games. For all Schools. One of the reasons we play numerous JV games. Pleased with the way our young guys have stepped up. Elizabethton is definitely going to in the top tier for many years to come.

    Hey MAV, a very mediocre Boone team played both Eliz and the GREENE very close, I believe you have too wide a margin.     I was hoping to go to this game but it didn't work out, so in that case I'm pulling for the GREENE team but I feel Eliz squeaks one out...

    I believe missing 3 bigs was the difference in that one. Sorry. No disrespect to Boone, great coach, and great kids. It’s just we were pretty short handed.

    Thanks men! Been a great ride thus far. These boys have played with at least 10 other kids each season that's made up all the memories. Kinda always liked the coaches too Lol

    Yea the two oldest had a heck of trainer growing up. Lol:thumb:. All have been great friends, mentors, and like family to my son. I guess they take it after their momma, but I sure do love that Godly family. Even if the dads a nut.

    Greenville only giving Betsy 200 tickets so I’d say no go on tickets.  Wjhl tried to come in a stream the game but they turned that down as well.  Only way to view is to pay the 10 dollars on Greenevilles page which they get all the money for it.  Kudos to Greeneville for getting that money and making it hard on visitors.

    Greeneville has looked good recently....against sub par competition. Pump the brakes on Greeneville though. You don't want to be DB and think you are world beaters after winning against mediocre teams. I personally thought South would be a tougher game for both of us but after last night I see Greeneville vs EHS as the only real game in our conference. EHS has taken a step back in the run game but we are still loaded everywhere else and have one of the best weight programs around. 

    Greeneville is still young but has talent. But I don't think they have enough this year to pull off a win..much less 2 (assuming we meet in the playoffs) against a loaded EHS. I look for EHS to win but only by a td or 2 as our games are almost always close. 

    All year we have heard about Betsy taking a step back in the run game. I disagree. If you go by statistics this year team is averaging over a yard more per carry. I believe we are just better balanced. The Boone game was a different beast within itself with 3 of 5 starters out up front. And yet we still found a way with young guys up front to pull it out. I believe our guys are clicking on all cylinders and are only getting better. Greeneville and South will be a tough game, it has been for the past several years in regular season matchup. It’s just the way it is. Hopefully Betsy will continue to show why we are #1, just as Ballard’s teams left know doubt in the past.

    Oops put them in the wrong places didn’t I and my wife is a English teacher. Man that would of been a lot of red marks. I still wonder everyday why she said yes.   
     

     
     

    Lol. It’s all good. I just get tired of the whole recruiting talk. Ultimately I believe every kid that lives outside of the city limits makes their own decisions. I did push for mine to go to TAD but he was given the option to go back as a Freshman. He like some of our other guys have remained close to his county friends. It has worked out well for him and it may not work for the next kid who decides to try and switch. I just hope these kids can do something that NO other CITY or COUNTY school has done in the TSSAA era. State Championship in Football..

    That's a fact. I've saw a few eyeballs about get clawed out. Man woman big or small doesn't matter to her if she thinks you mean any ill will toward those boys. 

    The oldest brother Logan was a heck of shooter on the court.

    Remember watching Logan. Didn’t want him to get his feet set or he knock it down. Does he have his own shop yet?

    I don't know that he'll ever be as tough but he plays with more attitude than Corey did. I've saw Keith ready to kill Cade a few times when he coached him. Time will tell I think the biggest difference right now is opportunities. 

    It’s crazy how different the two are though. I believe in talking to his Dad, Cade is liable to be an absolute beast in the coming years. He has the frame, just has to live in the weight room. The kid has great speed, not as quick as Corey, but he has abilities that could be better than Corey. Either way both are tremendous Athletes and are Humble. Great young men. Cade already plays with a little more attitude than Corey. Cade could be dangerous.

    Elizabethton didnt make Corey better, Corey made Elizabethton better. 

    I will agree with that.. He was a once and a lifetime talent. But he would have never and mean NEVER reached his full potential at Cloudland. This kid did whatever the coaches asked him and he was very coachable. Coaches helped him more than you know... Granted a lot was God given, but he had the coaches as well. It was a great fit.

    Just caught up on reading all this.First again,hats off and best of luck to Elizabethton.Does anyone know how long it's takes to make up a troll account on coacht,I'd say the same as any other.I wouldn't zero in on any fan base because I could think of 15 or 20 that loved seeing the Devils get beat  and plenty from Greene county alone probably had a party friday night.We all knew it was going to happen because even without one or two of our biggest talkers on coacht,some folks just hate the Devils .My personal thoughts on this year is our players played hard and still had a shot but lost to a great team twice.A couple of things besides Elizabethton just being better were this in my own opinion.I think we just didn't have enough depth and lost some great players coming into the year but seen preseason it was going to take something special and staying healthy as far as players go. As for coaching,that's where we lost the something special part.Anyone who thinks not having coach Ballard didn't make a difference either knows more about the game then Batman or is a coach.Still a great staff full of coaches who could lead their own program but not the same  and I just don't think coach Ballard would have lost a game this year ..Just my opinion and we all have one.

    Not taking anything away from Devils. My personal opinion is that it wouldn’t have made a difference in both Betsy games. I may be wrong, you guys know the Ballard family better than any of us on here. I do believe it was just Elizabethton’s time. We have been knocking on that same door for a while just never could get through it till this year. Idk. But I am realistic. Greenville had probably one of the best teams in the entire state last year combined with a tremendous ball Coach. Elizabethton has something special cooking, these kids on this squad will hopefully pass it on. The work they do on their own is second to none. Very proud of the dedication, refuse to settle, Grit and determination they show week end and week out. Hopefully they can fulfill a dream that most people will never get to experience.... Greenville is a special program, heck I would even call them a dynasty. But I believe E-Town has started writing a dynasty as well. Time will tell if they can finish this chapter. As for the troll, idk, they were over on the Springfield section earlier. May be a Haywood supporter.

    Injuries played a role in the game no doubt. We lost him and another on the Dline during the game. But its part of the game. 
     

    Well I hope everyone is alright. Like I said, I look forward to watching those kids on Sat. Hope the wife and baby are well, and if she will let you have the night off, comeback to the Bank this Friday. Need all the support we can get... Hopefully we can do what the Devils have done...

    Honestly Not sure. Knuckles/Albright/Youngblood/Everhart/Hote/Ballard/Goddard/Gillespie and more I cant remember will or are playing on Saturdays. Thats guys from last year and this year. 
    People just dont understand it was more than Cade Ballard last year. That was a team that will go down as one of the best in NET ever

    Without question. My son had to deal with #62 Most of Friday night is why I was asking. Would had to deal with #54 but due to being banged you all utilized him him more on Offense. A lot of respect for whole Devil program.
