if there are no off field issues with uhs, then why is zimmerman gone? it seems like for the past 2 years he has been the talker on the team and losing him will deflate them, thus leading to losses to teams like ummmmmm hurley.

I believe i have already stated that there isnt anymore off the field issues and we have resolved them. NOw let me ask you a question warrior, How has the departure of zimmerman deflated unaka?And the hurley game is another story, nobody came to play as we were flat all night.

The Rangers will rally around what they have and work hard to win their games each week. With the "off field" troubles behind them, maybe they can focus on hard work and determination. No offense but every team has their share of distractions, hopefully UHS has taken care of the problems. Temple has lost their first two games as well, so this might be a good game for both.

lol, kim, dont even try to compare south to hurley. hurley is one of the worst A teams in va while south could be the best team in their AAAA region. hv was in the game until they fumbled it about 5 straight times. dont make me question my decision regarding ur intelligence. i want to think ur a level headed guy but with statements like that, its hard to believe that.

 

as for zimmerman, like it or not, something like that can affect the rest of ur season. the players may not admit it, but it is in their heads that their field general is gone. he wrote a whole lot of checks that unaka cant cash and they will pay for that.

Don't know too much about the Zimmerman kid, other than the fact that he is a kid, so the best of luck to him in whatever the situation. As for Carpenter, I know this kid personally, and he is a very good athlete, not to mention a very good kid. If Carpenter is the new QB, good luck to him. He will make good decisions for uhs. Let's give Unaka a break, they're only kids playing football and trying their best to earn respect every week. Remember, Unaka's kids don't make their schedule.

Hello again, Warrior!

I also thought that Happy Valley could compete with South, so you're wise in re-evaluating your appraisal of my intelligence. And in fact, my reply to your put-down of the Rangers was uncalled for; conversely, your remark about the Rangers and Hurley was totally accurate and justified. I apologize. After all, we're talking about teenagers here, right?

 

And it's interesting that the Warriors had about "five" straight fumbles. Unaka traveled to Hurley with "five" of their best starters injured and unable to play, to include their entire starting backfield and best lineman. But hey, why discount five starters ....or even five fumbles for that matter? It's all part of the game.

 

Unaka has struggled to put a competitive team on the field for literally decades now, and for numerous reasons, to many to discuss here. But the individual players are, like you, Warrior, brave, hard-working, deserving of a better fate than to be served up for internet fodder.

 

But what's most distressing this time of year isn't the low-blows from true Winners like you, Warrior; it's reading the remarks of mid-aged posters, who seemingly slobber at the mouth in anticipation of seeing a young lad being brought to gridiron justice.

 

and "hamptonbigdogs," You are so right about Carpenter. He is one of the many very good kids at Unaka.

    • 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.
