I'm sure they do the best they can, as long as you give it your all, thats all anyone can expect.

 

Jordan Hughes and brandon Winchester will more than likely receive an offer from morehead state as soon as they receive their NCAA clearing house waiver. and before anyone opens their mouth with doubt I will tell you first hand thats all MHSU is waiting on I took them both this past weekend to visit the campus and meet with the coaches. They have seen both play a couple of games, and I have spoke with the coach several times by phone. I would say there are a few players going to get a shot, a couple from hampton, Estep for sure, wannamaker, and possiably one from jellico

You don't have to be a superstar in highschool to MAKE THE TEAM at a small naia or D-3 school. You may not play until youre a senior if you play then but if you work hard are a descent athlete and a good student those schools will take you. Carson Newman , Tusculum type schools you have to be a solid ball player to make their teams but again you don't have to be an all american or even all state to go there. Any thing bigger than than that takes a gift of size and speed with a good work ethic grades and playing for a noticeable team in Highschool. We have had several kids from Cosby play college ball and we have never been a big time football school. We currently have 2 at emory and one transferring to Tusculum from TN Tech to possibly play ball just off of last years team.

Thank You for your reply about these other kids playing at the next level. People act like the kids from the other small schools don't count, but there are some really good athletes on these teams as well. So some of them didn't make the playoffs and some got 4th place big deal, they all played hard and there is some that have been contacted by more than one naia school. The shame is that you have adults on here downing these kids that their not as good as this one or that one. To me they all have to be pretty good athletes and dedicated kids or they wouldn't be out there everyday putting themselves through all that they do. So I'm proud of every kid that goes out there everyday, every Friday night and does the best that they can do to the best of their ability. And to the Seniors on all teams, good luck with your future whether it involves football or not.

I'm not big on talking about who should get what award but i have to bring up Robbie turbyfill's name for coach of the year. I'm not saying that JC doesnt deserve it but Robbie has done alot to get the program back on track he has held fundraiser after fundraiser so that the future landers can play on a nice field., taught the kids theres more to life than football , responsibiliy, team work, and family values. He has also took a team with 5 seniors that was 2-8 and missed the playoff's for the first time since god knows when, to playing a homefield playoff game and finishing 2 in the region with only 1 loss in the state of Tn. O and did i say that he is a first year coach who put in a new offense and defense. Pretty impressive don't you think! I am not taking nothing away from JC because he his a hall of famer in my book. But realisticly how many coaches can say they accomplished that their first year as a head coach? Thats why Robbie should be Coach of the year.

Hard to argue with that. I do hold the upmost respect for JC and all the other coaching staff at Hampton. Great Job!

i agree with you about hughes. he is very good. but i do give the edge to lunsford. he has 27 TD's, 17 passing, 10 rushing. he has a few INT's (i am not sure how many, i think 4). but i definately believe it is between lunsford and hughes. they are the best 2 players in conference, on offense anyways...

 

I couldnt agree more . Both of these kids are class acts. They lead by example on how a student athelete should act.

Too bad both of the teams fans can't learn something from them on how to act befor they graduate.

Shoot ,they are almost like brothers, they have spent most of their lives with each other, fine kids and ballplayers as well. I've been around both these kids since they were babies. They grow up fast. I hate to see them graduate.

like you said, this is Robbie's first year. He will have many more chances. JC took a team through an undefeated season for only the third time in school history. I think Robbie and the Highlanders will be the team to beat once again after next year. As Robbie is coming in and just starting a career, JC's is winding down. And JC's team hammered Robbie's team...

I'm betting on Hampton again next year. I'm not sure JC does all that much coaching ,but he should be up for Man of the year. He tries to teach these kids life lessons, if they pay attention ,they will be better men ,for it. I'm really impressed at the little things he tries to instill in these kids. He 's also a very smart football coach. I'd trust him with my children is a skinny minute.

      Cummings named Coach at LC.

      By Swipes · Posted

      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.
