i hope you know that when grace and temple play, jeron williams, jake skogen, ryan wadley and isiah mouw aren't going to be walking on that court.

 

Really? Wow thanks! I didn't know. I mean, since my brother did play with all of those guys and he was on the team that won state for the first time for temple.

 

i was making a point that height doesn't mean everything. you truly are not all that bright. read the whole post next time before you speak

For the second time in three years, Temple is having a "rebuilding" year. The difference between a Temple rebuilding year and everyone else's version of a rebuilding year is that Temple still goes to Sub-State in their rebuilding year, and everyone else sits in the cellar of their respective district.

 

I think Temple will make it to Sub-State again, and be playing on the road.

 

I am curious to see how this Vespie "transfer" is. Temple still has Seth and Dee. I am also curious to see who else steps in.

yeah you're right, I really thought you meant that all those guys were going to lace it up and compete for another state championship. :rolleyes:

 

maybe if i went to temple I would have a better knowledge of basketball and I could discredit someone's opnion that height matters by talking about how some guy took a charge on a 7'0 player.

 

lol.......

In case you cant tell from my screen name, this is Adam Vespie. I think we will have a solid year overall. We do have a few young players on the team, but we do have a lot of experience. To all the Grace people, I dont know a lot about the Van Horn kid, but he must be a pretty good player to earn such high marks from you guys. I look forward to guarding him, but i honestly have no idea how good he is. Maybe i could get some film? What games should i get? I guess it would be his sophomore year that i would probably get, right? I dont even know what year he is or anything. I saw McMasters and he is big, but i only saw him play once in a scrimmage against Rockwood over the summer. I dont know much about the rivalry but reading these posts have told me how heated this thing is. Everybody should be thankful that they have this rivalry. My old school didnt have a big rival ry game/atmosphere like this one does. Yeah we had a rival, but they were a football school and we usually beat them by a lot. Im just happy to be a part a great program like Temple has, and to be a part of this rivalry.

I know those of us up here in Clay County would love to see Temple lose the Region and have to come up here to play the substate! There are alot of games to be played between now and then but barring injury this looks like a substate matchup and i know there are a few up here that can't wait to give a little back what they got last year at Temple! :thumb:

Welcome to Chattanooga single A basketball. And a word of advice, dont become a regular poster or put ANY of your opinions on here since your a player and people know who you are already. Its cool if you answer questions about games and stats alot like Sean did last year but its not a good idea if you to get on hear expressing opinions. (i know you havent yet but if you do its not a good idea for you or your team)

Thanks a lot man. Good luck to you guys to, I am definitly excited to be here.

 

 

Oh hey dude! Go Vespie.. Did you check out all the drama on "Wartburg"? I'm sorry they hate you so much...I hate you too! haha

 

Anyways, I know I may seem arrogant and annoying at times, but ditto to what vespie said...

 

Grace WILL have a good year. And for the record, all of Grace's starters(and some other guys..I don't know who all isn't a starter that plays) are good players.If they are disciplined, then they will have be set for a great season

 

I believe Temple will too. Maybe we will struggle, but I feel confident in you guys.

I can see you guys struggling at times, but then you will pull it together. Come February, you boys will do good.

 

Good luck to both teams! This will be a great year for Temple/Grace games.

    • 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.
