Hey man good luck to yall. I think i'm going to come down there if i can get a couple more guys to go with me. We'll be here all the way routing yall on and even though everybody else that has been put out still aint' posting, i'm still routing yall on and hope that yall represent our district well. Good luck tomorrow against Forrest, they are a really good team!

 

 

Hoop, that must have been a tough game yesterday. Sorry yall's season had to come to an end, but yall did put it together there at the end. You proved to be tougher than you were at the beginning of the year. What I really wanna know is, was Minor really as good as everyone has said he is? I mean a no-hitter & 20 K's sounds amazing but I wanna hear what you have to say about him.

ill answer that question for you...he was awesome...he wasnt just a guy throwing the ball as hard as he can right down the middle and just striking everbody out...i mean he did that lol but he hit his spots and didnt miss...he had a really good change up and a nice curve ball...and just the fact of him being a lefty made it harder...i think there were 4 pro scouts at the game...before we got there i was think that this kid throw about 90-91..ive seen that speed before and it nothing compared to a 97 mph fastball and thats what he was throwing the last night...

All this is true about Mikie, except Mikie can't throw 97 mph. He throws in the low 90s but he hits his spots so well and that changeup is major league. How did you like his pickoff move?

If he threw a no hitter then they prolly didnt get much of a look at his pick off move. I have heard that Minor almost always hits one guy a game, is this just one bad pitch, or is he trying to intimidate the batters? If so it prolly works lol. Hooper how did u do against Minor, i know u didnt get a hit, but did u manage to make contact? I thought Clinard would get a hit, but i guess not.

Actually in the 4 years I've seen Mikie pitch he hit very few batters. He's not afraid to come inside and to have him hit 2 in a game is unusual. They must have been up on the plate. He did pick one of them off. When Mikie pitched against Cascade they all just automatically went back to the bag.

I didn't see the first guy get hit (wasn't paying close attention) but the second one (who got picked off) squared to bunt and was pretty much over the plate. Anyone who thinks Mikie intentionally hits a batter does not know him. He is one of the nicest young men you'd ever want to meet.

Nobody thinks Mikie hit anyone intentionally. It's more fun to strike them out.

I fouled 3 of his balls off but i've never seen that fast in my life. And i know you said that he throws low 90's but the scouts after the game said he hit 97 over 5 times and the gun doesn't lie. He is the real deal and is going to be famous one day and i can say i hit a foul ball off of him...LOL...well good luck today NCS i think we're about to leave and come watch, we're all behind you guys!

So, Hoop, did yall impress the scouts enough to get them to come watch yall play us next year?? lol. It sounds like he's amazing, but I didn't know he was left-handed. That does make it alot harder to hit, especially if he's got a good changeup. I really wish I coulda come down there to watch that game. Do you have a summer ball team that has an opening on it? I need somewhere to play n haven't found a spot yet. Let me know if you do or hear about something somewhere around here.

I remember in the Warrior Classic 2 different guns had him at 111 mph. We all had a good laugh at that.

      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.
