And also this award to the Devils

The Hogs Award — Greeneville Greene Devils.

 

Big blocks and big holes were the story of the night for Greeneville’s productive offensive line. The Greene Hogs manhandled the Vikings’ defensive front, clearing the way for 429 yards rushing on 41 attempts. That’s a whopping average of 10.5, more than a first down on every carry.

 

 

Greeneville’s 56-7 drubbing of Tennessee High was enough to vault the Greene Devils past Dobyns-Bennett into the top spot in this week’s Prep Top 10.

I've got no problem with the top two either way for two big reasons.Number one,switch what division they are playing in and DB would be a lock to go deeper into the playoffs.Way to many great teams blocking a deep run in 6A.You never know in the 4A bracket who will have enough good players to field a decent team in the semi's and finals. So any sports writer could play those odds and look smart. Number two reason.They don't play each other and just like years ago when I thought Tennessee would kill Nebraska if they played a "real" SEC team.You just don't know.Every team matches up different as I said the other day.I think Greeneville matches up better to TH then DB,but DB matches up better to Greeneville because of their styles.DB doesn't have a lot of Hoggs but does have a lot of Thoroughbreds.Greeneville has a chance every year to make noise in 4A and it will be great.This Devil team can play with anyone in the area and very well could beat DB if they played,but in no way will 10 straight championships give my old school a team that can line up and beat Dobyns-Bennett most years.It's a double edge sword that matters not,because it's great that Greeneville has a chance to compete and win like never before.A champion in the middle weights { Alcoa } can be just as great as a heavy weight in what they do.Remember Maryville beat Alcoa until the last couple of years and nobody holds that against them.The Devils just need to stay healthy and take care of what they have to.Same for the Tribe

Boone and South will end the season with the same conference record... but South BEAT Boone BAD, so they deserve a higher ranking.

Greene Devils look like championship material

By Douglas Fritz

Press Sports Writer

dfritz@johnsoncitypress.com

It’s one thing for Greeneville to blow Class AA teams away by halftime and finish with a seven-touchdown victory.

 

It’s something different altogether for the Greene Devils to do that same thing against Class 5A power Tennessee High.

 

With the 56-7 stomping of the previously undefeated Vikings on Friday night, the Greene Devils have shown signs they could be different than any team Northeast Tennessee has seen in the statewide playoff era.

 

Since 1976, when the TSSAA established a true statewide playoff system, Northeast Tennessee has produced a big fat zero in state football titles. Cloudland reached the finals in 2001, but came up 37 points short of a Class A championship.

 

Last year, the Greene Devils reached the Class 4A championship game, losing 21-14 to Giles County in a contest that came down to the final seconds. That team wasn’t really expected to win it all. But what it accomplished — getting the experience of playing for a title, and having a close one slip away — gives Greeneville even more of a legitimate title look in 2010.

 

Greeneville (5-0) was already favored to easily win the Blue Ridge Conference title. The No. 1-ranked Greene Devils had already emerged as the frontrunner for the Class 4A state championship.

 

Then they strolled into the Stone Castle to take on a Tennessee High team that seemed to be emerging as a threat to make a deep run into the Class 5A playoffs. By the time the game was over, the Vikings’ defense had been absolutely gashed for 532 yards of offense.

 

It would be one thing if the Greene Devils hit a bunch of pass plays for a big chunk of that yardage, but instead Greeneville mauled the Vikings for 429 yards rushing on 41 carries, a staggering average of 10.5 yards per attempt.

 

Before William Carmichael transferred from Cherokee High in North Carolina, Greeneville was already going to be a very good team. But Carmichael has put the Greene Devils over the top.

 

The quarterback and part-time receiver has Division I speed and Division I football ability. He destroyed the Vikings for 301 total yards, scored four touchdowns and passed for another.

 

On the season Carmichael has totaled 901 yards and accounted for 11 touchdowns. He’s not a one-man show at all, but combined with players like running back B.J. Spradlin, he makes Greeneville something special.

 

Most people already knew this was a very impressive offensive team. And when a team averaging 47 points per game puts up 56, it’s not that shocking. But what seems to be getting more clear is Greeneville’s tough defense.

 

The Vikings were averaging 36 points per game, but did not score against the Greene Devils until 3:35 was left in the game.

 

All of the elements are there for a state championship. Greeneville has speed, size, athleticism, and a sharp offensive approach to go along with their championship-worthy defense.

 

Mixing all of that together is Caine Ballard. He has quickly established himself as a top-notch head coach.

 

The only bad thing at this point is the Greene Devils do not have a major threat left on their regular season schedule.

 

Greeneville will play West Greene (5-1, but lost to Class A Unaka), Cumberland Gap (1-4), Chuckey-Doak (4-1, but lost to Claiborne by a score of 49-12), Grainger (1-5), and Claiborne (4-1, but has played a soft schedule and got blown out 34-0 in its only tough game).

 

So the Greene Devils will have to fight against overconfidence until the playoffs begin. But Cookeville, the site of this year’s state championship games, is certainly coming into focus.

Sorry TFlorida we’re all out of trophies this week… and they had the parade last week. I know you’re proud/confident when it comes to the GreenDevils… but you’re wasting your time trying to convince the DB hopefuls that THEY aren’t the best thing around since sliced bread. And I think it’s justified… because if I were in their shoes I would feel the same way at this point in the season. The rest of us on the outside looking in KNOW that they would have almost as much trouble with Mr. Carmichael (aka: Wolverine) as THS did. Most know it’s not a question of who but by how much in that match-up. I don’t think you can really appreciate this kids talent until you see him go against players whos talent level you know. He would probably be used as a WR in more situations against the Tribe. I don’t think there is any doubt of Greeneville’s ability to compete in their classification. DB on the other hand has a BIG ? over their heads as to how they will perform against their classified competition… because as it turns out Farragut is far from being a measuring stick this year. Therefore Greeneville gets the EASY nod as the #1 team in the NET.
