Boys, boys, come on now. Trousdale County is not "that" good. Fortunately, there's few gauges in terms of competition for the Yellow Jackets. They gave up a bundle to Gordonsville and won. Smith County rolled over Gordonsville. However, that is all irrelevant. You can't compare scores and get an accurate indication of how two teams are going to stack up against each other. Greenbrier is not "that" good either. However, they have managed to win close games, just as Trousdale County has. That is the sign of a good football team. With that being said, are both teams better than average? Without a doubt, they are. But unless it improves a ton throughout the course of the season, this Trousdale team is not a state championship level team. Greenbrier has put itself in a position to possibly finish second in that district with the win over White House. Goodpasture should win that district. There has not been one year, maybe with the exception of 1998, that Trousdale County would have won a state championship in a higher classification. Could Trousdale County compete well in a higher classification many years? Sure they could. But it's a different scenario when you're not having every other week as a breather because you're playing some weak sister in your district schedule. Trousdale County can't do anything about that. However, don't get it confused. It's a different ballgame in 3A than it is in 2A. Trousdale County is not touching the Goodpastures and Alcoas of the world. Greenbrier's early-season results did look a bit sketchy, but the win over White House validated the Bobcats as being a playoff level team. Results are the proof. Trousdale County will make a deep run in the playoffs again in 2A. There's just not much competition out there for the Jackets, unless Gordonsville rises up and pulls off an upset. Greenbrier will win one playoff game if it has a good draw. There's just not enough firepower there for the Bobcats to go too far in Class 3A. That's the difference in the two classes. If Greenbrier was in 2A, it would be winning at least two playoff games also. There's just more depth and better athletes in the higher classifications as a general rule. Of course, that's not to say that Trousdale County doesn't have its fair share of skill. But that "fair share of skill" has played a big part in Trousdale County winning all of those golden football - as has an unreal work ethic and elite high school coaching. Good luck to both teams and both programs. They both work extremely hard. Therefore, whatever success they enjoy is deserved.
