it will be a big win for either team DeKalb has the playmakers on offense they just havent figured out how to use it this will be a great game

 

yes DeKalb has howe and cripps, as their big play makers they need to try to get cripps into the passing game beacuse he is so big, because his running game is struggling right now, also i have noticed about the only reciever howe looks for is childeress,

I admire that you are wishing to talk about games, but there is already a thread on this particular subject. Most are favoring your team of Watertown. But this thread will probobly be closed to keep things simple. I really do like that there is a watertown fan on coachT ready to talk football. It is a good way to get to know different people from different schools.

Cripps has to find out a way to hang onto the ball though hes had a about 3 or 4 fumbles already even though that week one is still very questionble but thats over they have to look ahead...howe did a lot better passsin the ball in greenbiar he used atleast three of his recievers in that game but with cripps height he would make a great WR if he can catch but i think they need him a runninback right now because if dekalb opens up the passin game it will open up the running game

I saw where one of the WT fans was already wanting to talk about the FC game. As bad as I hate to agree with anyone from FC, I completely agree with FCSPOE. Let's (WT) worry about beating DC this week, and then we can move on to the bigger fish. The worst thing you can do in almost any sport is overlook someone because you think it is a sure win. It will almost always come back to bite you in the butt. GO WATERTOWN!!!!!

There are other young men on that team that can catch and run. It's one mistake the coach continues to make.

They seem to coach to one and play only a few. It's been going on for years. There are 55+ on the team. Play them!

My suggestion would be to work in more men, fresh legs, if you will, like the teams they are playing do.

These young men can't compete with teams who have full O and D teams, when they play both sides the entire game.

And what's with the kick off return? Dead stop, let the ball bounce, then attempt to snatch and run? And not just once but over and over again. Kinks that should have been worked out by now.

It's a hard transition and a totally different ball game between Jr. Pro and High School ball. A transition that is not being made smoothly.

    • 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.
