All I was saying was with everyone splitting the run differential could be a factor if the trend continues. This could be a year where seeding really does not matter. Any one can win on any given day. Grundy has Notre Dame on the 19th and 20th and CCS on the 26th and 27th. I think the standings are correct.

SC 4-2

GC 2-2

BC 2-2

ND 2-2

CCS 2-4

 

From what I've seen this year, Seq. is by far the best team in this district! I heard they had a bad night in Grundy, and one of their players didn't play. Here's my standings: 1. SC, 2. BC, 3. CCS, 4,5, and 6........pickem

I agree we should be the best team however, we are not playing like it and have not in a while. Grundy is better than CCS and I haven't seen Bledsoe play yet. Having said that I think Grundy will split with CCS.

So if SC and Bledsoe split does that mean that SC is better? How is Sequatchie the best team in the district when they have split with 2 district opponents? As for the third baseman, he did not play in the game at Grundy because he was ejected the night before for throwing a shoulder and elbow into GC's first baseman. Grundy ate the fill-in third baseman up with 7 bunts and all but 1 reached base. That's just good coaching and small ball. I agree that SC should be the pick of the litter but they are not playing well right now. Hope they split with BC.

Don't just tell half of the story, I don't condone what Cole did. However, he just reacted to what your first baseman did after they accidentally ran in to one another. The first baseman should have been thrown out as well for jumping up in his face and trash talking.

It is what it is. The umpires made a judgment call. I have to admit that everyone felt SC was a lock for the district title. They sure don't look like the team that played summer ball this past year. I understand that they have a sweep of Notre Dame under their belt but Bledsoe and Grundy both control their own destiny as far as the district goes. By the way, not having Cole in the line-up was a huge difference. I can give credit where credit is due. Grundy should have earned some respect as they played to a split with SC and committed 2 errors in the bottom of the 7th or they would have swept SC.

Both teams had errors that game. Grundy only had a couple of hits if I remember right. They wouldn't have taken the lead if not for a badly blown "safe" call at home-which is part of the game, it happens to everybody. I don't feel the collision at first was intentional at all. You have a 200 pounder who moves well for his size trying to beat out a throw and the fielder is standing in his way, directly in the runner's path instead of having a foot on it (which wasn't necessarily his fault either depending on where the ball ended, I can't remember that). If not for the jawing after I don't think there would have been an ejection.

And I could say that Grundy would not have won the second game if Cole wasn't thrown out, but that would'nt change anything. We split and that is that. We will see each other again and Sequatchie will be ready and so will Grundy. Grundy has improved as much as Sequatchie has not since the summer. 4 coaches in 5 years is tough. When we get back to playing well you will not want to play us.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. District tourney could get interesting. How many seniors start for the indians? I was under the impression that there was 5. What year is the lefty who started Tuesday's game?

We started the year with 5 seniors playing then 2 weeks ago we got Dykes back (broken foot). Brett's knees are so bad he can not catch and that hurts but, Dykes and TK2 has done a good job replacing him.This team has a lot of experience they just have to put it all together. Depends on who is pitching we start 6 seniors, 2 juniors and 1 soph. The lefty is a Soph.

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