I was 3 rows up off of the floor behind the bench. I guess I should have worded it differently. The winner of the game was never in doubt.  Greeneville did a few mini runs during the game but overall after the second quarter game was decided. I’m not trying to disrespect anybody or any team that is just stating facts  

I was on the front row. That 2nd q really was the overall difference. I got to watch y’all at the ladies classic at Christmas and it was a night and day difference team. Improved and matured a lot. I hope y’all can pull this one out tonight

Ummmmm this was never a game. I get it though. 

Did you even watch the game?? It most definitely was a game even in the 4th quarter. We clawed back into it and Upperman just shut it down when we got it to a spot where we could make it really interesting. So yes it was a game. Last night vs South Gibson was not a game. Upperman is by far the best team and I think they will win the title by at least 15

Officially game day!!! My score prediction is 49-46 Greeneville wins

North Greene doesn’t need schultz when they have Britton who is way better lmao. 

Britton his the best player in 1A and was subbed of a Mr. Basketball spot because they played a hard schedule against bigger schools and didnt have a good overall record. North Greene makes a real run for the state title next week for sure

There has been more crying about the draw this year than ever before. Beat who you match-up with and It won't matter everybody is playing for the Gold Ball.

I totally get where you are coming from but I 100% see what everyone is saying. It’s kinda ridiculous but one way or another someone isn’t gonna be happy. For us the put Cocke County on the other end of the bracket so there are bound to be west Tn teams playing each other. If they would have flipped it and put Cocke county against us there would still be some west Tn teams playing each other just not as many

Carson Quillen from Greeneville High School class 3A. He was a finalist last year but lost to Eli Huddleston from Upperman. He beat Eli in a 1-0 pitchers duel in the state title game just a few days after losing the award. Definitely the front runner for it this year

They should do a completely blind draw. Like bingo. 8 balls in a spinner and draw them out one by one to fill the bracket in. If 2 teams from the same district get pulled to play each other then so be it. At least it’s 100% random 

Who all is going to be at the game? I am

That’s typically what our scores look like. 

Fair enough I was thinking something along the lines of 50 something to 50/40 something not sure exactly. Got time to think about it before game time lol

Agreed two great programs/schools that seem to be running into each other regularly no matter what sport it is. All the Homers will pick their team so we’ll find out soon enough who the best team is my money is on Upperman  final score 37-26. 

That’s a pretty low score. Like both our defenses but geez lol

I totally agree. With the amount of teams, they would have to play each other, but i think the gripe that many are having is that they're all playing first round. There is nothing about that telling me it's blind or random. They are plugging teams in where they want them to be and in my opinion its all about who is going to bring them a crowd to make TSSAA the most money.

For sure. I’ve been around TSSAA HS sports my whole life and I’ve always been told it’s “a blind draw” but every single year I get more and more evidence like this that proves that it’s not and they just plug teams where they want

I understand that they can't be all kept off the same side, but all play one another in the first round? I believe it's that way in AA as well. All that said, you have to prepare and try to beat the opponent that's next up. Goal is to go 3-0 no matter who you play.  I just find it funny that all the far West TN teams in two classes are matched up against each other in the first round is all. 

One way or another West TN teams were gonna play each other because of the amount of West TN teams in the tournament. But I do agree you have to prepare the same way to try to go 3-0 no matter who you play. I think they should do a COMPLETELY RANDOM DRAWING on a live stream for EVERYONE to see. I’m from East TN so I 100% believe in the conspiracy that they rig some match ups in some sports haha

Four teams within about a 50 to 60 mile radius I may add.

I mean you have 2 upper East Tennessee teams. Greeneville and Cocke County. The rest are Nashville and beyond. Kind of ridiculous they set the bracket before sub state was even played. They’re obviously going to put the two upper east Tennessee teams away from each other on opposite ends of the bracket. So it’s bound to happen with that many teams that far west in the tournament. Like stop feeding us this “blind draw” crap when everyone can see you have a system. Either by regaining matching or whatever it may be. But stop feeding us the blind draw crap 

Greeneville wins. I really like what our team is doing right now. Got a good feeling about this year 

Great game from start to end. Questionable calls both ways. Congratulations to both teams just thought this was interesting how it all went down

WORDS OF CAUTION:

In 2021, Greeneville was undefeated and Ranked #1 in 4A. They ended Elizabethton’s 31 game winning streak by defeating them at their house 44-12. A BEAT DOWN! Fast forward to the quarter finals. The Cyclones come in to Burley Stadium in G-Vegas as considerable underdogs. Yet, walk away with a 13-7 victory. Coaching and player execution of a brilliant game plan can be the difference. PC looks the part. Greeneville looked the part. Tullahomma looked the part in 2020. Ask them about their rematch with Nolensville in the quarters. The next two weeks, anyone can win. Haywood, Pearl Cohn, Greeneville and Upperman all have a legitimate shot at that Gold Ball. I expect the team with the best game plan and execution of that plan will win. When you get to this point, coaching is a factor. Mostly, you can’t just out talent a team anymore. It takes a complete effort from the top down to achieve the goal. Let’s see which staff has the goods and can guide their teams to glory. 
Josh Puckett, Tony Brunetti, Eddie Spradlen and Adam Caine. Good luck gentleman.

This is not an excuse for 2021 but I feel like it needs to be said. We all knew beating Betsy twice was gonna be hard. Especially with how phenomenal we played them in the regular season. They still had Bryson Rollins and Jake made an absolute ridiculous catch in the playoff game he would catch maybe 1/100 times if you tired it again. Also we had players hurt in the playoff game. Yes injuries and crazy plays are a part of any sport. That’s why you play the game. You never know. Just felt like pointing those things out

Have not seen BVD's online presence in a while, is he okay?      Will he be at this game?

He has had a lot of health issues recently 

Bands are allowed to play while the other team is on the field. Noise makers that have batterie such as a train horn (That’s you Anderson County) are not allowed. Noise makers like cowbells and shakers are allowed. I think noise is a good thing when it’s done in a legal way. It’s called home field advantage. If you don’t like it then maybe get away from sports. At every single level of high competition there is crowd noise and you use it to your advantage and if you are playing against it then you practice against it

The Anderson County QB played the 4th quarter concussed. Is that legal? I would imagine that would be very controversial for the Anderson co coaching staff.

Coaches should be fired over that tbh

I havnt watched anything on Greeneville yet. How many 2 way players does Greeneville have. Upperman has quite a few. If Upperman wants to get over the semifinal hump. They our going to have to figure out how to beat teams like Greeneville. Greeneville is very good from what I have heard so Upperman has to play there best game of the year to beat them. Upperman has figured out a way to win all year and I think we can beat Greeneville but definitely can’t have turnovers and lot of drive stopping penalties. Upperman can’t also get down big early and have to become one dimensional. If they do it might be a long night for them. 

We have a decent amount of players that play both ways. That’s pretty usual at the 4A level. Not that big of a school. Teams like DB, Oakland other 5A and 6A schools don’t have to worry about that problem as much. Not knowing much about Upperman I believe they will have to play nearly flawless to win this game 

This game will be close for a while but Greeneville will run away and hide with it in the 2nd half. I don’t have to think much for this week’s prediction.

Upperman 7

Greeneville 35

I’ve been thinking about it all week. My official score prediction is
Anderson County: 14
Greeneville: 27

I really like our defense and the number 27 has been sticking out to me for some reason I’m not sure why so yep. GO GREENE DEVILS!!

I was pretty close. Final score was 28-17

HORNS. DOWN.
