Temple is playing their best basketball at the right time...any way they pull another upset and win the region too?????

 

 

 

Definitely. I think Temple's inexperience and immaturity (players and coaches) could be a negative factor in a big money game but our players have proven that they can play with anyone and are realistic contenders for state. I think every team in our region knows that Temple is just as likely to win region as CSAS or Grace.

Maybe inexperience and immaturity is actually on Temple's side. With only 2 returning players with playing time returning from last year's team (and one of them out for the season), they're not supposed to win region this year. They've got nothing to lose. They can just go out there and have fun. On the other hand, this is the year for CSAS. They're supposed to win it all. The pressure is on. Same goes for Grace, but to a lesser degree.

Temple proved they could beat Grace and play with CSAS already. If they get by Silverdale, which they should, they will certainly have their hands full with either Grace or CSAS again. But they won't be intimidated. There is a lot less pressure on the underdog in those games, which is why Temple just may indeed win the region in a year when many thought they would be third.

Do not overlook my Seahawks. We are ready to represent Chatty. We are playing well even with people banged up. I am not saying we will end their Cinderella run, but don't be surprised if we do it.

 

 

District 5 is shaping up to be one of the toughest and most exciting districts in the state with the advancement of Silverdale, 21st Century, and possibly David Brainerd's programs.

 

You guys are playing well, even though banged up, but with your best game, with everyone healthy, I doubt that SBA could win tomorrow night. But, who knows?

Do not put David Brainerd up here with good teams.

Well I think it would be a safe bet to say that David Brainerd will be one of the better teams in the region next year and for years to come. While they have taken their lumps from Grace, Temple, and your Seahawks they have steadily become more and more competitive. David Brainerd is a team that you cannot take lightly because if you do they can sneak up on you. Last year they won 6 games, this year they went 15-12. Don't be surprised if David Brainerd is in the region tourney next year. So before you get on here and bad mouth DB you need to know where they are coming from.

I am very excited to see how well some of the basketball programs are doing in District 5. It is just good for everyone all around.

I think you hit that on the nose.

    • 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.
