Yeah, That was close to happening. Oak Ridge might not be the best team in the state, but they were 100 points better than Clinton tonight. Cocky? A lot can be said for preparation, tradition, talent and althletic ability. No brag, just facts.

Oak Ridgers are so cocky.  I'm not a Clinton fan but I do wish Shattuck and his bunch could pull off an upset.

Back in '03, Central laid a butt kicking on Clinton. I think the final score was 71-0. I hate it for the kids to get beat like that, but..........????

 

When Stever Spurrier was at Florida - he said that he was not going to tell his 2nd & 3rd team guys NOT to score. The way he saw it, those guys work just as hard in practice and deserve the chance to show what they can do.

 

Also...some states have a "mercy rule". Meaning there is a continous clock without stoppage once the point differential exceeds a certain # of points. Any thoughts on that???

 

I KNOW Kentucky uses that rule, but I can't remember the point differential. I think it's around 35 points in the 4th quarter and the clock runs non-stop.

if a team is good enough to score 100 then let them . that means they have worked to get that good over years and shouldnt be denied what they can do on the field. plus clinton appartly had it comeing to them. Oak ridge players if you read this dont listen to some of these people just go out there and play hard for the whole game.

Stanton played everyone. I thought I saw cheerleaders and booster club moms on the field in the third and fourth quarter. Just kidding that would not be fair to the kids that played . On most teams the third and fourth team wouldnt see the field on Fridays but they did last night and not only did they play but finished off a dejected Clinton team by simply playing to the best of their ability.

 

Like the guy said earlier the score could have easily been 100 points.

 

We will see how Oak Ridge does aganist a good team in a couple weeks

He was playing subs throughout the second half, from early on.

 

He ran his normal offensive scheme throughout the third quarter with second and third teamers. Heck, I got it on two series myself. Fourth quarter, it was pretty much handing the ball off up the middle.

 

The scary thing is, Oak Ridge could have really run it up if they wanted to.

 

Just hope the Clinton players don't let this affect them too bad, although it will be tough mentally. They really have improved, although I am quite sure people will think I am nuts for saying so after a 74-0 beating like that.

 

There were a lot of factors for the score, from the idiotic vandalism, to the emotion of Stanton's first game. The OR players had a chip on thier shoulder because so many have been putting them down because of a lackluster pre-season.

 

Many teams would have taken a similar beating last night from Oak Ridge.

I dont really think under any conditions that you should pound anyone this bad,and dont give me that crap about letting the subs play, you just dont do this to a team. And surely not a team in your on County and the Coaches and players cant control what other students do painting steps so dont make that the culprit either. I just think you have to treat children in your own County with a little more respect...

    • 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.
    • 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.
