It doesn't matter who is coming back for Fairview, Giles Co., Lewis Co., and the others Marshall Co. although losing almost all of the starters from last year, will still be the powerhouse in 9aa. Lykins, McLean, Henry, and B. Davis will lead the Tigers to a district title and will make another run at state. Lykins will be MVP again with the other seniors gaining all-district honors. The Tigers will hold the competition all year and will undoubtedly win the district.

well if you think the district ios going to be a walk in the park then you are wrong, everyone has their aces back this year and are ready to go. if i do remmeber fairview played marshall close in the districts until the suspect umps started turing the tide. so don't count your chickens before they hatch because i know the rest of the district will be trying their hardest to win it this year,

Well if you think that Fairview played Marshall Co. close I'd like to see the game that you were watching. When they played up there the Tigers put the Jackets down by ten. When the Jackets came to Marshall Co. there is not much to say but offense. The Tigers went up by five in the first and the Tigers won that one again by ten. If the Jackets can hit Lykins and stop McLean, Henry, and B. Davis they may have a chance. It is going to be a good game if the Jackets cand do all this, but that is a lot to do for a team from Podunck. By the way, all of the aces aren't back. What about Holt(Giles Co.). You need to get a little more into the game if you are going to run this site.

i guess you didn't get to see, the district game down at marshall, you all pitched you no. 3 or 4 and we pitched our no. 3 and you all won 2-0. we can hit your ace we will be ready come spring, you just dont' need to come on here and think marshall is the only team in the district that has a chance. i am sorry about the aces but giles has three starters coming back. so that is good enough. but let me tell you this marshall co. has a big bullseye on there back because evryone knows when you go down there you get screwed out of calls all the time. by the way do you even play baseball?

wehn the umps saw our guy hit the triple with no outs they knew marshall was in trouble and everyone saw that he touched second, our guy argued the call because he was yelling at the umps in the dugout and almost got thrown out. ask any team that has came down to marshall to play the umps favor marshall plus you guys have a bunch of rednecks that sit behind home plate that say stuff the whole entire game. it is very unsportsmanlike, if marshall won fairly i would give them props but they haven't, and i know you will say well we beat page in the regionals, the only reason u guys won was on the fluke play and you guys know it. the district will not be a walk in the parek this year, i know fairview and giles co. are going to challenge you and everyone else will also.

Well, the Loretto Mustangs should have a good strong team. They return 10 or so seniors. They also return basically their whole starting pitching staff from a year ago. That staff is lead by Lamm and yes he is fine and play this year in baseball. The other starters include Beckman and Johnson, thats just to mention a few. Even with the strong pitching staff, they should start a all senior line-up. I feel like this will be the year of the Mustangs. I hope they play to the ability that they are able to perform at. But I think that we cant sit here at this moment and time and decide who is going to win the district this early. Why dont we let the playing do the talking and just wait and see!!!!!!

    • 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.

    • 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.
