WOW I see you and heisman both missed the psychology class in college. I think IQ tests should be performed before letting a couple of people post. Just kidding, all posts are welcomed even if they are a little different.(wink---wink :thumb:

 

In response to cavsmaniac you are right that size doesnt always mean alot in high school but it does make a differnce later in the game and if this is a close one which I think it will be then that could be a big factor, and it also makes difficult to push us around. I am not disallusiond to the fact that the cavs are well coached and that they will be prepared. I am just stating my own opinion. I just wish everyone a safe clean and respectul game for all. No matter who wins its going to be fun to watch, but of course I will be rooting very vigorously for the WARRIORS.

 

Yea, yea, yea......blah, blah, blah...... Depend on all that size you have. If all of your players are truly 6 inches taller than all of the Cookeville players, then that should give them a good view when the Cavaliers break a long one on them and take it to the end zone. :huh:

Thats always a possiblity statman but I dont think so. But anything can happen ANYTHING. I heard that tickets are selling like crazy at sparta and is outselling last year 2 to1. I love it when the community shows that kind of support because the boys really deserve it.

 

Remember WC fans they are having a pregame party at 5:30 at the stadium. The T-shirts are almost gone so get your while you can.

 

My prayers go out to Junior Phillip Sliger from Cookeville, I heard he was in the hospital. The WC fans hope you get well soon.

On a good note, Philip is getting better and should be back on the team in a couple of weeks. He was diagnosed with type 1 diabeties this week. There is only 1 day left before the game . I cant wait!

white co. 38 cookeville 14

 

i may stick my foot in my mouth cause i've done it before but here's my prediction . white co. 10-0 this year. in talking to fans and coaches this may be the best white co. team ever. i know we have said it before but this time i am serious.notice i said team. white co. usually has one outstanding player and the other team shuts them down but this year we have so many weapons. anyway go warriors. let the war of words begin! :blink:

Alot of you WC people keep talking about how huge your team is, well Cookeville is'nt going to march out on the field with 5'2'' 125lbs line either we have some big ole boys that can still move with enough speed to smack somebody in the mouth on there way by Plus we have that little fullback that goes about6'3''and 247lbs it might get old in the 4th qtr dragging him around anyways we ain't that small

I do think it will be a close game. It was a close game last year really,I don't know why it didn't stay close in the 2nd half.

Coach Brown was quoted in the Herald as saying that there is more "hatred" in this rivalry than most.I can feel that from some of you as well(football observer :o shout out to your former name ;) ).But as a former player in the series I can say I never "hated" Sparta. Of course,I enjoyed beating them but we were friends for the most part. Heck,right after the game was over my senior year(a game in which Sparta won),a bunch of us & several of them(most all the seniors off each team) all went camping out up on Buck Mountain.(Yeah,we were real dedicated ;) ).

When we run into each other to this day it's friendly, there's no hatred. Course back in that time (the 4 years I played) we split the games 2yrs. to 2 so there may not have been the animosity there is now & I can understand that.

I just hope for a hard fought ballgame,of course I'm pulling for my CAVS !!

Hope everyone walks off the field unhurt & I'll see you tonight!!

 

GO CAVS!!! :thumb:

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
    • Dyersburg scrimmaged South Gibson last week
    • 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.
