Perry Co at Riverside

I think this will be another good game to watch. I'm not expecting a blowout either way. I'm not making any prediction as i think either team could win this game by a small margin. We'll see. Riverside has alot of work to do still but our boys play their hardest. We've gotta get a few different players involved to be the best we can be even if they're not "so and so's son". We've got some boys with good potential that I feel aren't getting a chance to play because of social status. I'm taking nothing away from our boys that are playing as they play with all their heart. What happened to competing in practice trying out and earning your spot?

Don't know anything about the Riverside situation, so not really going to comment on that. I will say that I know that happens a lot in a small town, especially with the younger kids. Seems to get better when they reach the high school level. Now back to the subject of the game:

For some reason, PC has had a history of falling apart during the Riverside game. Was probably the worst they played all season last year. Hopefully, all that will change this year. Should be a good rivalry game, looking forward to it. :thumb:

Dcriverrat again quit saying people and just come out with it. I'd like to know who you have in mind about them playing and shouldn't. But anyway perry county is prolly the best team we have played all year, but Riverside seems to be getting a little better each week. If Riverside puts it together and plays like they can. They could come away with a win. Although if Riverside plays like they have been playing it could get bad. Interested in seeing how this one turns out

sucks i wont get to be there...ill be in St.Louis...but i think itll be sorta like last yr...itll be a hard fought football game...PC's Defense has played against some very good teams (besides Cornersville)...last year PC started with East Hickman(37-0),Scotts Hill(50-0),and Loretto(33-0)and then went to Riverside and lost (21-6)...so we've played alot better competition than last yr...i mean i believe the D is good but the O line has to step up more than it has...ill have my prediction later on in the week... :ugeek:

Do you think the one freshman starter riverside has playing at a position he's undersized for is ready for varsity? I think he'll be a good player but needs to earn it. Be real. Give the other guys a chance. It's not like we have anything to lose. The offensive line we keep using couldn't block the cheerleaders. We're gonna end up with some good backs hurt. Give em a chance.

We're a little off topic, guys. Let's stick to the game, and stay away from Decatur County politics.

You apparently don't know what your talking about. I know Goff is a freshman and the coach's son but he is a player. He knows the game and the best player we have to play that position right now. Even if there is another kid that is older that produces about the same they are gonna go with the younger one cause that's another year of experience they will have. I have talk to coach Goff and he don't want to play his son because people will say exactly what you are saying. Bottom line is he is inexperience but I have seen him make some plays you don't see many freshman make. Look for his name to be out there in the next few years. Then for the offensive line. I don't see it and apparently the coaches dont either cause they are gonna put the best 11 on the field but tell your son or whoever you like that is not playing to tell the coaches he thinks he can beat whoever out on the line and see what happens

    • 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. 
    • I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
