Maryville didn't warn OR to wear helmets in press box

Like I said before, the kids at W.B. are NOT the problem.

 

Some of the adults (?) from W.B. that threaten kids from the stands, whine with letters to the Mairvul Misprint, make remarks on tv broadcasts "because it's Maryville," and start a disturbance or an assault on someone in the pressbox are the problem. They are the ones really setting a fine example for the students at W.B. to follow.

You must of had some real thick WB glasses on in 99 , if you didn't see the Maryville fans and players being provoked .

 

 

 

Not any thicker than your MHS glasses, my friend ... not any thicker at all. :thumb:

 

BTW ... it wasn't "Maryville kids" that night in '99 ... it was grown ups. Of course, what happened to us at Ooltewah this year, couldn't have possibly been "as bad as we've said", could it? But we're to assume that that night in '99 was a complete robbery. It's a two-edged sword, ML ... the street runs both ways!!!

This sounds like a sad incident during a great football game. My question though is kind of in support of Mr Meadows, though I certainly do not condone his actions. Why did the radio personalities not apologize for making a comment and if they felt threatened leave the pressbox or ask someone to intervene? As far as a suspension I think that is a bit strong but maybe this gentlemen should not be allowed in the pressbox in that capacity. However, how many parents feel so defensive of their children that they are ready to fight anyone for them? Coach Meadows is a fine coach and good man, please do not continue to degrade his father on this website

 

 

Amazing and at the same time part of the problem!

 

"You said "Why did the radio personalities not apologize for making a comment".

Regardless of the comment it does not warrant assault. Say after some criminal hits you in the head, you apologize? Maybe the next time the angry man brings a weapon to the game then what if he finds something else he does not like?

 

You said 'As far as a suspension I think that is a bit strong". Really? I think jail is about right and maybe a law suit vs. the school for allowing this type of behavior to occur without penalty.

 

I'm sorry but we as a society are condoning to much lawless behavior around our schools and a person who violently assaults another person is not fit to be allowed on school grounds around kids. Around the country and right up in Campbell County an angry person on school grounds was not dealt with and guess what, we got a dead principle and two others shot a close range. No sir! Any type of violent behavior must be dealt with and the person should not be allowed on school grounds for a long time or maybe ever again in my opinion.

 

 

Let's not get off the subject by trying to continue to say the late hit by MHS's LB on WB's Tyler B. was something deliberate or deplorable because Maryville kids did not take a knee. The player was flagged and the team was penalized. Contrary to what the idiot said in the paper he was not out of bounds, speared with the helmet and not taking a knee is not some form of disrespect in my opinion. When Tyler was taken from the field he got a standing "O" from the Maryville stands and many prayers that he would be ok, which he was.

Lovehsfootball,

 

Sorry. My statement was not meant to indict the Ooltewah program--if you've read my posts, I've never thrown mud at the Ooltewah players or coaches, only the refs. But, I just used that as an example to point out how so often, people only see the "splinter" in other people's eyes and never check out their own eyes. Didn't mean to bring the Owls into the frey.

Ole Dad,

 

The only action I am aware of at this time occurred at half-time of the game ... Mr. Meadows was told by the William Blount principal to leave the campus and Mr. Meadows complied.

 

I have complete confidence that Steve Lafon (principal) and Don Moore, Jr. (AD) will take the proper further action that is meritted by Mr. Meadows' actions. As I become aware of what they decide to do, I'll gladly share it here.

 

There are some parents and supporters who WILL NOT bury their heads in the sand, I assure you of that.

 

A good question to ask Mr. Clary and Mr. Monger is how they were treated during the evening by "everyone else" from W.B.

 

Good luck to the Cat's. We folks at WB will be pulling for you guys the rest of the way!!!

Gov,

I think all the reviews were positive other than that relating to this kook. It is a shame that this occured but the school should ensure it never happens again.

The difference between the 2 incidents are George Quarles and the Maryville fans let it go ( you brought up 99 ... not me ) in comparison , WB'S Coach did everything he could do to make the situation even worse ... he sure wasn't trying to play peacemaker after the Ooltewah game , then he rants in the paper about the refs ( great example to the kids ) , then he gets Upset after the Maryville game and tells Quarles he'll never play Maryville again .. then tries to do just that .... this is without even mentioning his dad , who apparently needs to be put on a leash after multiple confrontations .

 

I'm sorry if you or your family were mistreated by Maryville fans in 99 Govman , but even you would surely have to admit there's been some questionable behavior from some of the WB faithful this year ..... surely you don't agree with fans screaming at kids or your coach getting upset with Coach Quarles and trying to put an end to the rivalry . Maryville vs William Blount should be a lot bigger than Coach Meadow's temper tantrums ... don't you agree ?

    • 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.
