On Aug. 2, juicyt stated that "JCM and Haywood have been playing since 1912".

 

This would not be correct as JCM was not even a school until the late 60's. Of the two schools that combined to create JCM, Merry High never played Brownsville/Haywood Co. The rivalry WAS Jackson High vs. Brownsville/Haywood Co. and that rivalry ENDED when Jackson High was combined with the former Merry High.

 

It is wrong for the Jackson Sun and others to perpetuate the MYTH that JCM and Haywood Co. have been playing since 1912. End of story!

OllieShaggnasty pay attention to this: i would say that OR and Clinton is one of the longest running rivalries in the state but now that i think of how Clinton hardly Beats OR it aint a rivalry now is it Shaggyboy?

 

I agree with ArtVandalay that the rivalry with DB is the biggest one on our Schedulde. Always a great crowd atmosphere, many classic moments have happened in this series. hope to play ya'll again in the playoffs this year and goodluck to DB's season

There is no myth. They are the same school. Jackson High is JCM. Merry High is JCM. The school has a pretty cool history after desegregation. The Bridge built across N. Royal street to unite the two Campuses together. The claw statue at the center of the bridge. I would say that no school in the state did a better job of uniting a segregated school system. Maybe you didn't notice but Brownsville is not a school anymore. Its now known as Haywood County. There is no Brownsville/Haywood County. Brownsville High was an all white school. Does that mean they are not the same? The answer is no. Bottom line is you couldn't be more wrong.

Hendersonville vs. Gallatin  They have been playing since 1492, the year of Columbus.  Gallatin holds the edge with 477 wins leaving Hendersonville with 36 victories.  Closely followed is Mt. Juliet vs. Lebanon.  These two began play in 1645 and the series is split 180/180.  :thumb:

Your a complete idiot, 1492?? 477 Gallatin victories??

The actual numbers are more like from the 1940's and although Gallatin leads the series, Hendersonville is better off without Lassiter.

jaxoncm,

 

With all due respect, I am right. As the rivalry WAS Jackson High vs. Brownsville High, this rivalry ended when Jackson High merged with Merry High and Brownsville merged with the other school. You will not find a record book anywhere that recognizes JCM or Haywood Co. playing football in 1912. Those two schools simply did NOT exist in 1912. JCM and Haywood Co. began playing football against each other in the late 60's when both schools formed. And that is the truth.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
