why dont u spend your time learning how to make better brackets and run a tournament instead of getting on here telling me to not say anything about a kid like courtney coffee. it has been proven that he is a thief. he stole several ipods and other things from the kids at his school and then left before he could get into trouble. if coffee manages to go to college for football heck be one of those cases well read about in the paper in a few years about someone getting something bad done to them, i almost gavbe examples of what i think could happen but didnt incase i would lose my coacht membership. dont try and act like hes a good kid and has served his punishment he hasnt been punished the way a kid should and is definitely not a good kid. let me ask you this fiscon: would you let coffee sleep in your house with your family valuables?

 

You would think Coach T would require scriveners to have at least a third grade writing level to post. Please purchase the Harbrace handbook for grammar because you are commiting a serious crime upon the English language. Lastly, your post infers that you have never been dishonest, lied, cheated or taken anything that was not yours...ever.

Let me ask you did your informed opinion come from being involved in the situation or from hearsay and this message board? From what I understand, from people who are involved in the situation, Courtney was never charged by the school or police with theft. In America, we do not convict people unless they have been charged and found guilty. What gives us the right then, to get on this board and abuse a kid over stuff we really do not know about, I think all of this discussion needs to end, if he is charged, which I understand he has not been, then let the courts settle it, it is not our right unless we are in the jury to make a decision or past judgement about this.

I think this might be the opportunity for us to have a true idea of how our 2 division system compares to each other when you have in one bracket the potential for a 2x D2 state champion to face possibly 2 different D1 champions. Courtney will have a difficult road to the finals as will any kid in the state tournament. Reveiz and Birman are both capable of wrestling him down to the wire. Discuss what you think will happen in the state tournament, but lets not begin the debate over whether a kid who made some bad choices and in your words is a "theif" will be a life long criminal. All of us who have come through that time in our lives can look back and realize that we, too, did some questionable things. Let the kids decide it on the mat, and the law decide it in the courts.

 

And the answer to your last question, is yes, if Courtney needed a place to stay, I wouldn't have a problem with it, or from the other thread David Mang, why? Because I know these kids, and they may have made some bonehead choices but we all have and we all got a 2nd chance.

 

I am sorry for your bitterness.

I know that the coaches at Centennial have done all they can to help get courtney mattime with lots of people. He has not practiced at MBA but the assistant at BGA was the HWT state champ in flordia and wrestled at Penn State and he has been working wiht him. Lets just hope that it enough.

So, why did he transfer?

I was proud of the effort Courtney gave in the finals. It was like seeing an icon go down. I think it is symbolic of everyone on this thread who tried to bring Coffee down when I saw him go down at state. I don't know about you but I'm done hearing about the negatives on this kid. I hope to hear good things that have come out of this situation and year. I hope to hear Courtney Coffee has learned something and he takes the higher road to success.

 

God bless you Courtney!

An icon? The symbolism, IMHO, is that substance doesn't count for much. If you're big and fast enough, a lot of folks will love and adore you and think of you as an icon.

    • 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.
