My very first post was answering a guys question with an ounce of humor.

When the 212th was deployed in 1991 I remember the shirts the guys from Grundy County had made themselves. That depicted them stripping vehicles, because they were known for that. Now come on, it was just a joke. Just like people who say stuff about Sequatchie VALLEYs Math lab with an E...it's sadly funny but true. Do I think it's a personal attack on me, why certainly not. When people make jokes about the president, they sometimes are funny even if you do like the current president.

I read the boards all the time. Just thought I'd answer a man's question that needed to know what time a game was in an entertaining way. Wasn't meant to make anyone angry or get anything started.

I never post anything bc this seems to be a way for mostly people to get on here and promote their children and pretend they don't know them. Which is a lie when someone has 83 post and 82 of them mention an individual player and they can even spell the girls name correctly and it isn't spelled in the most common way, but they don't know her or even live in the same county. That is humorous, and foolish. Why not just say hey she's my daughter, and I'm proud of it. The beginning of this year I thought Grundy County would fall apart the way they got on here and attacked each other even. You couldn't have missed it the rest of the community sure didn't.

And by the way you might not like anything I have said but I am NOT a liar. After you read this please feel free to delete, as I'm headed out for the day, and it was really only meant for you to see.

Bledsoe over Sequatchie 29-26 for third, tonight. Neither team played very well at all and both need to pick things up to even make it a contest in their region games. But, "that's why they play the games," you never know what might happen. Sequatchie led 13-6 after one but scored 13 the rest of the game. 16-16 at the half, 19-18 after 3. Bledsoe took the lead for the first time with a little more than a minute to go. Sequatchie cut it to 27-26 with a three with only about 5 seconds left, Bledsoe made 2 late free throws and Sequatchie couldn't get a shot attempt late. For Sequatchie, guard Barker scored 13 and had 15 rebounds, among the highest totals I can remember for the team off the top of my head. Post Lawson had 10 rebounds, played well on defense most of the time and added 4 points. Both are sophomores and have good height for their positions, 5'10" and 6'0". Sequatchie had to go deeper into the bench than usual due to foul trouble, 2 starters fouled out, 2 other main players had 4, even before having to foul late. Next year there should be more depth. The team has no seniors, only two juniors currently available due to injury, so there's at least one more season to go for everyone even if the region game turns out to be a learning experience.

    • 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.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.
