Everyone knows that OC will have to deal with Hewitt, but Dresden will have to deal with SEVERAL from OC. Also the Rebels big "O" line will set the tone for the year to come, I along with others look for a solid year from this seasoned bunch. This is as said earlier Coach's 4th season, and this bunch has been in the system since they were freshman, and know the system well. This is a very good Dresden team, but look for the Rebels to win this one by at least 10.....and then turn ALL attention to next weeks visit from Crockett Co.

GO REBELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of being in the system 4 years....This bunch was 8-1 as freshmen with only a high scoring overtime loss at Dyersburg marring an otherwise perfect season.... :angry:

I think the Rebels are ready for the Home opener, and for alittle pay-back for last years "Lighting" game played at Dresden. Not taking anything away from Dresden, as I think this is an outstanding team, but OC seems poised to break out of it this year. The Rebels need to win the opener, not only to start the season off o thr right foot, but also the 73AAA part of the schedule is fairly tough. I say the Rebs win this one, and then we will talk about next week. One game at a time.

Oh and catch this and every Rebel game on 104.9 KYTN, (man it's good to say KYTN again, and not Y105)

 

 

GO REBELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The winner of this game will control the line on both sides of the ball....pure and simple and easy of that...if dresden gets manhandled on the d-line like they did last year then look out...their d-line against east robertson was less than steller, i hope the d-ends where tring to contain b/c if they weren't then wow and if they want that win better be steped up several notches because obion is surely no push over. The line has got to create that new line of scrimmage any game and more importantly against a team who lives and dies on the option and midline.

 

yea I am .I PICK DRESDEN BY 2 TDS :lol:

Too bad the leg didn't get passed down in the gene pool :lol:

I'd say giving up only 38 yards rushing was a pretty good performance by the d-line.as far as Dresden being ready,don't worry they will be.If you beat us then you can brag about beating a little 2A school.

Wondered when that comment would show up....That's why I have a problem playing Union City,Dresden and Gibson Co...There are enough 3A schools in west Tennessee to play...These games are lose-lose situations...You win you are supposed to and you lose and it's a major upset...It's a built in excuse for Dresden if the Rebels beat them...

Did you see the ER game in 2005? Dresden's d-line got up field and pressured Tico only to have him run around and practically beat them by hisself. This year the goal was not to create running lanes for him and make him stay in the pocket and beat them. Gave up 43 points in 2005, 13 in 2006. Looks like it was a good plan. Now against Obion a running team, things will be different, or should be as far as technique and how to play on the d-line. I guess we will all find out on Friday.

I agree, but Central and Union City both count on the big gate to fund their programs. Can't wait until Friday night!!!!!!!!!

I agree...But it's still a lose-lose....Especially since UC dropped to 1A...I would at least like to see OC drop Dresden and Gibson Co....I think playing Chester Co is a good thing they are 3A....And the Rebs could schedule either some Memphis 3A school that doesn't expect to play us home and home and a rural 3A team that has a big fan base over toward the Tennessee River....Or see if a 4A team would play us...Say a Henry County or a team OC used to play,Brighton....Or maybe play a team from out of state...That always generates interest....

      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.
