ok. football is the main topic here. i started playing football when i was 7 years old and i have played every year and i am fixing to start my last season. :) i as well as many others have posted many things on here about who is strongest...camden and waverly waverly and everone else... me just like every of you fans and football players (especally seniors) hope that you will go all the way and win state. me it has always been a dream. but not until the other night i got to thinking about it and football for the past 10 years has been my life. i have lived walked talked and even dreamed about this amazing sport. but my chance to play this game is running out. i started playing because i love this game and now it seems like all i want is to win state. WIN WIN WIN WIN.... but i am ashamed to say i am even a football player because of only caring about winning...bye the time it is over and we either win every game or no game all i would have cared about is winning and my chance to play for the love of the game has run out. i am going to be a senior at waverly central. yes i know how alot of people say waverly is nothing but a loosing team. but one thing we have is heart. we love to play football. shure everyone would love to win. because we of all people would love to have a winning experience. but to love FOOTBALL. i dont really know what else to say i just wanted to try and remind all of the football fans and especally the football players to not forget why you started playing football. because for me i didnt start playing just to win...i did it for the love of the game. goodluck to every team in the state of tennessee. and i ask all of you to again plz remember why you are playing football.

it is true everything i am bout to be on my last year i hate know that this is goin to be my last year. i will miss all the games but will never forget any of the fun times we all started because we love the game and because it is fun but we go out there and act like it not just a game. i do the same thing i go out there and play like it is the world. but after this year there will not be any more football for me i aint goin to be able to go to a college and play. but i put money on it that me andrew brenden bj and all the seniors this year will be the #1 fans for waverly tigers when we are done this year. every home and alot of the away games we will be there. so i guess u can say football is my life and to most ppl that have played most of there life. but dont let it get out of hand waverly tigers is right we started to play because we love to win but not everyone can be a winner so i am here to say no matter how my team does this year i am gonna love the sport and the team and be there next year to be the best fan that waverly has ever had and i am sure i will not be the only one of this years seniors up there

      Cummings named Coach at LC.

      By Swipes · Posted

      A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.

      Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.

      I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
