See that’s why I like Greeneville week! :D You guys (and gal) can do it both ways… dish it out as well as take it. That’s the way I role… I’m not a stranger to CROW. It comes with the territory. :blush: I’m gonna back my team to the last click on the clock… and when the fat lady sings I will ALWAYS give credit where credit is due. UNLESS you CHEAT like … well… you know who you are.

 

To answer your question… Daniel Boone last year in the second round CHOKE in the playoffs. Before that it was South in 08’.

Oh Alright. I forgot that game was at home lastyear. And we both can dish & take it Cap. Somethings I admit makes me a bit mad or wonder if your crazy. But you do make me laugh w/ some of your outrageous post...Cap I can honestly say you haven't saw a Devil Team like this in awhile. These guys are for real whether they play 4a,5a, or 6a...If you do score comparisons against the Betsy/Hill game then you give the huge node to the Devils. But I know scores dont stand to a hill of beans but what does matter is how you play the game and how you finish the game. FINISH if your up by 21 or down by 40. You never give up and show that you are fighters. You gotta be a lil worried about how the hill showed the devils what to do. I mean 21 in the 3rd??? thats scarry Cap...

Good points. In the game with the Toppers (and I’m being completely honest… no jokes)… the Vikings ran on them at will in the first half. There were a couple of the several bad calls that stopped scoring drives. One was a pass interference in the end zone after a Viking had caught the ball for a touchdown. Comp said he saw the interference but I watched the replay the HILL provided… and I still didn’t see interference. They not only penalized the Vikings with 15 yards but they lost a down also. Never heard of that before but I guess it’s the rule. Anyway… it was so easy to move the ball (verses the Toppers not able to put anything together to amount to anything) that the writing was on the wall going into the locker room with a 17 to 0 lead. Stacy made adjustments at the half and scored quickly and right after that pined the over confedent Vikings inside the 10 on the kickoff… and the Vikings fumbled the ball on the first play. So there is 14 of those 21 points. A complete break down in coverage accounts for the other score. Don’t get me wrong… the Toppers are a very talented team with very good size but they really couldn’t do anything with the structured running attach of the Vikings and they relied on the big play to score.

 

There is no doubt in my mind that Greeneville will be the biggest test that we will face in the regular season and that includes DB. Greeneville offers just as much athleticism as the Indians but with a tougher match up at QB to deal with. They also bring a defense to the table that is on a different level than what we will face in the Big 8. We will count on over confidence and mistakes to aid the Vikings Friday night. On that same note you WILL have to deal with a relentless running attach that you haven’t seen this year. Defense will be the difference in this game and that’s why Greenville gets the edge in most peoples book. Our defense … especially the secondary hopefully learned some valuable lessons last Friday with the blazing speed of the Toppers.

Just for the record - If you noticed - I was the photographer on the 5 yd line and the TH receiver pushed off of the SH defender before the ball got there. IT WAS A GOOD CALL!

Cap,on comparing Greeneville to DB,here is my take.Greeneville plays a steady four man front and doesn't bring as many blitzes.DB has more team speed but is smaller on both sides of the ball.Time will tell which team matches up best against the Vikings.This is the very best Greeneville team that I've ever seen.This is Greeneville's version of Tennessee highs early seventies teams that dominated everyone and were Alcoa plus Maryville of that time.No, Greeneville is not on par to do that but they can sure make some history that has been a long time coming for this part of the state.Tennessee High has a great chance to put it's dirty mark on the Devils,but it will take every last TH player giving it's best and maybe the set of refs that called the Greeneville vs South game instead of those your talking about.IT happens to us all

Good point… I can’t disagree with anything you said. I haven’t seen the Devils this year but I have seen DB, and team speed is probably their biggest asset… it’s all over the field. I’ll have a better idea of the Greeneville speed after Friday. What I do know is that Science Hill has a receiver that I would put money on against anyone. His long stride is deceiving… he runs like a gazelle. He along with the Adams boys and Michelle are going to test even the speed of the Indians. On one kickoff return Michelle was almost their before the ball… no exaggeration. And they ALL have good size.

I think greenville has more team speed hall runs a 4.8 40 bj runs 4.6 40 schufler runs a 4.41 40 and wille ran a 4.38 40 lazer time on a track that's just a lil bit of the speed we have we have spped for days I would jerk ur arm off if u wanted to bet that wide receiver could out run wille or schufler lol they would blow his doors off n a race

I imagine the Adams players are kin to Ashlon.It sounds like him when you were describing the other player as well.That was a big get for us in 2008,a great young man that was stronger than most of our players plus had great talent in whatever sport he wanted to play.

My take on this year's matchup after seeing last year's game at the Burley: Greeneville is a little better , maybe a lot better. Tennessee High may be not quite as good, but I am hedging that assessment because I thing Stubbs has plenty he has not shown yet. The game last year started like Greeneville would own the Vikings then tournovers and a huge strike to Howard swung it the Vikings' way. Was Chaz Story healthy for the game last year? I believe he will make a difference is this year's game with run defense that the Vikings have not seen the likes of . I could see this one a 9-6 defensive struggle with all FGs as good as the kicking game is for both sides or a 41-37 shootout if the offenses execute without turnovers. Close either way, but I'm going with Greeneville. They win if they don't give it away.

    • 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.
    • 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.
