Very tough to pick, as always. Unlike last year, BA has the most talent overall, but IMHO, they also had it in 2001 and 2004 yet did not win. They must get more productivity out of the QB position, as they have, arguably, two of the top 3 or 4 receivers in DII AAA. MBA is always very tough, and both MUS and McCallie will also have very good teams.

 

The usual "murderer's row" preseason schedules for all these teams will tell us a lot.

 

Anyone want to predict what BA's first offensive play of the season will be?? :D

 

My guess will be L Right 26

You guys don't even understand. CJ is a freaking beast. I go to BA and went to the scrimmage today against BHS. He is just unbelievable. He is faster than Ty, stronger than Ryan, and just shakes people off like crazy. He got into the program late in the summer, so Tyree/Ryan will probably start the first two games at RB, than after he learns all the plays(not that we have more than 5), CJ will start at RB. He will also start at LB, and let me tell you, anyone he touched in the scrimmage got hit...hard. He took down the Mustin kid like it was nothing. He has already gotten a letter from...get this...Miami. That's right the U. As well as just dominating, he also allows us to use Tyree in a more "Reggie Bush" type of role, rather than just hoping he could speed his way into the endzone. It's going down this year.

I am not disputing any of your points. However, let's contain our excitement and let his performances do the talking. He is an extremely nice, modest kid.

sorry for interrupting, but who has won it all the past two years...? Dont count the Owls out just yet. Park is returning along with a good offensive line and a solid defense. Im not saying they will three peat but they do have a legitimate shot. This region is going to be tough. Anyone can beat anyone.

I agree with vols2587 that all teams are tough and have a shot. In no other division is every week a possible win... or a possible loss. There are no givens.

And every year over the past 3 or 4 there have been page after page of BA highlights and they just haven't won it recently. Is this the year?

I agree with you guys, as well. We (BA) had the best players in 2002 and didn't win it. It takes a lot more than good players to win it all in DII AAA.

Well, the season is upon us, and I think it's going to be a great year for the league. I think the league is stronger from top to bottom than last year, and the league went 30-6 against non-DIIAAA opponents last year. Time will tell if that record can at least be matched. With Riverdale, Ravenwood, Franklin, Melrose, Alcoa, Nease (FL), Meridian (MS), Manual (KY), Trinity (KY), and a few other tough ones on the schedules, it will be tough, but the league should hold its own.

Looks as though a good chunk of DIIAAA is down this year. MUS loss to ECS is a surprise. MBA has had injuries although looks like a good win over a solid CPA team. Still does not look like the MBA of a few short years ago. CBHS loses badly to Father Ryan. As has been normal the past few years, pre-season hype of BA is huge but it does not look as though they are living up to expectations. Father Ryan is obviously better although not ready to compete for the gold ball. I have referenced a couple of times on other posts--can anyone score enough to hang with McCallie? From what I have seen and read, I don't think so.

      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.

      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.
