Last season's loss in the playoffs should be huge motivation...

 

OC's line will have to keep the rush away from Phipps...The Tigers will bring the farm...They laid back in the regular season finale last year and got burnt over and over...They made the adjustment in the playoff game and it made a huge difference...

 

OC is better than they were last season and Ripley is not as good...Should be an equation for Rebel success...

 

OC-38

Ripley-13

Obion County has improved over the years. When Covington first began playing them, the football games were just to kill an little time until their band could do its amazing half-time show. The school at that time was excellent in band, and in football, not so much.

 

It will be interesting to see how the OC - Ripley match turns out. As a Covington fan I don't have a dog in that hunt, but will be interested to see the score. Tiny Knee has been a tough place to play in the distant past, but has been more friendly in recent years. I want to see how Coach Wheeler will do this year against Ripley.

 

Good luck to both teams.We will travel to both Ripley and Troy in October this year, so I will see you then.

    • I grew up watching Greene Devil Football since I could walk and still close with a lot of the coaches so should know my history pretty well lol.  Everything worked out the way it should have but firmly believe McCurry would have won some State Title if he wouldn't been let go (Greeneville still runs the same D he brought here and he let Ballard run the O and stayed out of it when it came to calling plays.  Greeneville was put out in the Semi's McCurry's last year against Maryville and the next year Greeneville stayed in 4a and was State Runner up playing were they were placed for the first time by the TSSAA.). It was definitely a McCurry and Ballard show that turned everything around along with the Community buying in and revamping the weight room and field house. Since Ballard got promoted to HC every Coach after him has been within the Greeneville Coaching staff because your right, they know what it takes to win a state championship.  Ballard was a master mine on O and what i think Greeneville has lacked since he left and let some Championships or making it to the Championship slip away over the last few years
