Science Hill @ Dobyns-Bennett


Recommended Posts

I have to disagree with all these lofty point spreads. Nobody has beat Science Hill that bad all year and it ain't gonna happen Friday night. I look for Science Hill to have their best game of the year against DB. They have nothing to lose and nothing to hide from some teams playoff scouts. Their new starting QB now has one game under his belt and will play much better this week. Look for Smith to roll the dice more than once in this game. With the atletes they have all they have to do is get lucky on one play and it could change everything. Look for their first kickoff to be onsides. This is the game that Gilligan and all of Science Hill has been pointing to all season. Didn't he say he was going to set asside a portion of every practice just for DB at the beginning of the season? If so they should be more than prepared for this game.

 

DB - 13

 

Science Hill - 10

 

The only way I see it being a close game is by DB to forgive and to forget.Forget about it!.When it's all said and done, Science Hills regulars may score some more on DB's underclassmen.Granted,DB has nothing to gain except injuries and one more little thing, ''Continued Dominance and Pride ".That last part is for all the Tribe players and fans who are with us or gone before us.Roll Tribe.

The DB players have been watching a lot of film, and the coaches are pulling out every press clipping, video clip and sound bite they can find of SH coaches, parents, and players talking about how their number 1 purpose in life is to beat DB. I think our boys will respond with pride and throw it all back in their faces this Friday. They have suffered too much embarrassment this season to let SH come in and win this game without a huge fight.

You wouldn't think that they would have to try so hard to motivate them.......hope it leaves the players tight and stressed. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

I think they want to make sure the kids don't just look at the SH record, and assume the game will be a no brainer. It would be a really easy thing to do.

Sort of like most of the dbers are already doing huh?

 

 

D-B fans realize this is the D-B vs. Science Hill game...many of us older folks understand the meaning of the game...remember some of the players for both teams have never attended a game that the Hill won (13 straight for Dobyns-Bennett)...it has been 27 years since the Hill won in Kingsport...thus the coaches are making sure that the players remember and understand the level of talent and potential coming to call on Friday...D-B has never lost to Campbell County and only lost to Karns one time (when much of that team phoned it in), but this team showed up and respected their opponents and played well the last two weeks...they will not take the Hill for granted...it will be a good one...

Not most DBers..some. I for one don't think the final score will be as wide as SOME do. I do however feel that if DB were to lose this game it would be due to a)the DB players/coaches looking ahead to the playoffs or b)SS holding back all year in preparation for the game he was hired to win. Because on paper the gap in production on the field is a canyon. But let's be honest here, with all the talk and high expectations coming into the season (and after a 3-1 start), if the records were flipped this thread would be about to explode with predictions of how the Toppers were going to wipe the field with the Tribe. I have actually seen many DB fans on here talking about how they hate the sitatuation for the SH kids...I dare say there would be very few SH fans that would have ANY sympathy if it was vice versa. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

I can send you some game film that will dispute this claim. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

 

 

If you are refering to the South - Science Hill game at the beginning of the season I don't think you could call that a "lofty score" (27-7). So look through your film collection 'till you find last years South - DB game (45-0), that will be a good example of getting beat by a lofty score.

 

thank you,

    • 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.
