AE has a receiver named Reggie Jones who is pretty tough. UT has recruited him, but nothing serious. It is hard to make a case for him to be the best in East TN because he has only played one half this season due to a shoulder injury. He should be ready to roll this Friday and he should start making waves soon.

Rusty Loza is the best rec. in East TN that nobody has heard of. Last year he had 43 catches for 1029 yds, 13 TDs, and 1755 all purpose yds. He plays at Powell Valley who is going to dominate Claiborne County this thursday.

 

flip,

 

Don't fan the fire in Claiborne County's belly. I've seen them twice and their pass defense is suspect, but I expect you can throw that out with this being the "Last Stand" for both schools.

Based on the stats released by the Knoxville News Sentinel (not including the upper east teams) Jacob Brown has got to be the best reciever out there. Can anyone compare with his 27 catches for 487 yards through 4 games? I think he has 6 or 7 touchdowns also.

 

There is no way that brown is better than bowman. I have seen both play and bowman is heads above brown. The only thing that Brown has going for him is that he plays on a well rounded team while Bowman plays with nobody.

I would say you are mostly right. This is going to be a huge "pride" game for the entire county. Unless Claiborne can cover better, I expect some big plays from Loza and Medley. Medley has had 4 TD's in the last two games. The key to the game is like any game, who will win in the "trenches"!

What about them Greeneville boys. They got three that will do anything you ask them. Watson(Ap player of the week), Wilcox, he's there whenever you need him, and that athlete Greenway(Junior with the talent)Those boys catch almost everything that Baugh, who should have been player of the week(6 TD's, almost 400 yards.)would throw to them standing, and yes standing in his pocket all nite

Jacob Brown is better than Bowman.

 

Do you have any edidence to base your opinion on? I've played against both and we had to put 3 guys on Bowman and simply single covered Brown.....Bowman is faster, he can just twice as a high, hes taller and hes bigger physically.

    • 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.
