Thanks to VBD for the idea!

 

Thanks for the acknowledgement! Not being quite as close to it this year, I was trying to figure out away to post scores of teams in the area (since for the most part nobody else does), especially since the chattanoogan.com does such a good job reporting. I am all for trying to boost the interest in the sport!

By the way, thanks for yours and P4K's help, too!! Plus, I think Phargis was trying to do a similar thing.

And I appreciate the acknowledgment also but i was trying to come at it from another angle. Fan response comes from District and Somewhat less on Region except close to State Tournament time. Area, if I'm not mistaken, might have less fan appeal. In 7AAA there is great competition between schools, i.e., great interest and likely interest in fans if they know when the matches are and have a place to go to see when the teams play and the impact on the standings. Sorry, with this new software, and it may be me, it is difficult to browse quickly to find the game information and easy to go to one place to find out. What that relates to is fan appeal and a reason to look at your thread. I think it relates to fan attendance and interest, at least last year it did. Changing the software, with as Pageman says, its glitches, started this season off to a bad start and the thread did not get started right and look at the hits and I think you will agree.

Rosters were not filled out and relating teams to players coused some interest. Now this is controversal but I still believe the site is looked at in the same way players and fans look at the newspaper. They like their team but they like to see how their favorite player is doing and irregardless what anyone says, they like to read a little bit of commentary. This year, because of the start, we have lost the few commentators from each school which made this site interesting. it is evident that the chattanoogan does it right and the only thing I was trying to do is to duplicate what they do because 78 is very perceptive. I was trying to do things that the current newspaper system cannot and will not do and that is report District results with interest and lead into Region close to state.

My interest is to promote the sport and not to dilute the reporting by reporting such a wide area that it may not mean anything. IMO, the greatest interest is in the District reporting if someway a person or persons in each school can be developed to help provide the information.

Now that is the reporting end. the other side of the reporting is to provide good factual informatrion on a variety of subjects which would draw in fans, i.e., Libero. Another was middle school coach shortage. GLJ, every so often, has provided great officiating technical information that has had great interest. Something that is happening now as did last year, is crowd noise by schools during play which is being handled very well by officials, i.e., just ignore it. Schools students like to yell for their team and getting fans in the stands is important.

I, for one, did not realize the impact T had on this sport but after seeing the slow start encountered this year, I am somewhat disappointed on fan interest right now.

    • 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.
