are you starting this year?...we are playing MT juliet this coming saturday i think we will get a good idea what kind of team we will have this year after we scrimmage them

 

im just a pitcher but not sure if i will start or relieve yet. they have a very solid lineup 1-9 their best hitter bein #12 cotham. he can straight up smash the baseball. name might be familiar cause his brother played there and is now a red shirted freshman for vandy and will probably be a weekend starter.

Hello fellow CoachT members lol been a while... well im lookin for Harpeth to pull another 18-0 in the district again this year.. lol jk... nah it should be a toss up between the top four teams, should be a tight race this year... As for Mr. Andy Brown, well lets just hope that all the teams in the district do not chicken out and pitch around him by thinking one man can beat a whole team, there are eight other players on the field.. I also think he should join some old teammates down at C-State, along with ten members of the American Legion World Champions.. ha had to throw that in, the rings look nice lol... Good luck to everyone in the district.. Enjoy it

I thought they played pretty well in their first scrimmage. Johnson, Howell and Mangrum all looked pretty good in their first outing. The offense was nothing to write home about. Six hits in a 7 inning game? Ensworth didn't throw Foriest, who the Harpeth folks should know pretty well and they are a team of mostly sophomores. It was a good first scrimmage. Harpeth will need to hit better around Andy Brown and produce runs with small ball. I don't see 30 something homers in this year's team. Harpeth will win some 3-2 games this year with small ball, limiting walks and good defense.

For the first scrimmage, I don't think the play by the younger players was bad. They need to learn how to swing the bat more aggresively, but so do all of the players. I do know that Harpeth had way too many strike outs (especially looking). On whether or not the younger players will step up, it's their decision to do it. It will also take the upperclassmen to be a good example and step up as well. It is a new year with new players. Harpeth no longer has the big guns that they had last year. They are not going to hit homers every game, but they will win by out hustling and out thinking the other team in every dimension of the game. Will the young players step up? I think we will know for certain in the next 2 weeks, but I think they will.

    • Pirates can make a run at the dance for sure.
    • 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.
