oh how terrible it is to be loaded with talent year in and year out. They have had a feeder system second to none since the early 80's and every year a new crew of experinced and talented players who have been together since they were 8. It sounds like an excuse, but think about just how much you have in the first place. Give any of the other district teams to have that kind of support and they take it in a heartbeat. Im not saying the players missing are not talented and perhaps important, but don't tell me that one or two guys were the excuse for not being your usual.

What's interesting, and I was at the game last night, is that all of the games seem to be the same - Hendersonville with possession of the ball 80% of the game but just cannot finish. I would say that Gallatin had 4 shots on goal and 2 went in. In the losses I've seen, this has been the case, with the exception of Brentwood, who has some deep talent again this year. Taking nothing away from Gallatin, they have a strong team and should do well, but offensive productivity just has not clicked this year for Hendersonville and was the catalyst for the loss last night.

feeder system has changed. Station Camp has players that would get serious time if they were zoned for hhs. I am going to get slammed for this one, but it is the truth. JP2/Station Camp has diluted the talent. Those close to the programs realize this, the boro has gone through the same thing. /ph34r.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ph34r:" border="0" alt="ph34r.gif" />

I agree, there has been a dilution of talent in recent year. I was apart of the TN United original combo with fever and quest. But those effects have not really started to show just yet. Yes talent may be a little bit better spread out, but by no means had an entire flop of the standing taken place. I just don't want to hear the perinial winners say its b/c they lost a special player or whatever, maybe you just were not the better team this year and yes perhaps there is a changing of the tides.

I am not going after any hhs fans/parents/players...if i remember Mjhub brought this up. Im just saying i've been around Sumner Co. high school, as well as select ball and have seen how the policits work. I will not stand for any such excuse that some one comes up with. Last year it was a 1-1 tie that won the district reg. season, this year it was all ready a lock and the Wave came out 2-1. There is respect to be given there, reguardless of how ones own team may have faired.. thats an impressive showing no matter the team, district, state.

many strong players from jp2 would go to hendersonville otherwise. not to "slam" you nick27 but what players from station camp would be playing for hhs? if anything i think its hurt beech high school more than hendersonville. on paper, hendersonville is one of the most talented anywhere.on the field,however, they dont play as a team. in high school athletics, i'd say 90% of the game is heart and i dont think hhs has it like gallatin,lavergne,wilson central,etc. new schools are built and programs have to fight through that. hhs has done it in the past, coach plummer is a great coach and i think that he will turn his program around.

    • 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.
