Mr. Dillard, I wish I could come to one of SP's games! I've saw WC and PC play and I'd like to get to a SP game but I doubt I'll get to. It would be nice to watch them all, and make up my own mind on who's the best. Does SP broadcast any of their games on the internet? Oh, and if you ever come to PC, I'll share my popcorn with you cause I don't have any fudge rounds.

Chemtrail, the SP/Signal Mtn game is on our off week. That would be a good one to go to.

A good football program is a good recruiter.

If mama or daddy thinks little Junior has a shot at going to college to play ball, they'll sometimes send him to a school that will get him noticed.

A team that consistently is in the state title game gets noticed.

It happens EVERYWHERE, and some just change schools for playing time and other opportunities. You can't convince me that this has never happened at schools like Perry Co., Wayne Co. or Jo Byrns.

Never? Yeah, it's probably happened. Often? No. I can't think of any notable JB athlete that wasn't homegrown or a legit transfer to the JB school district. It's a little harder to do given that there are five VERY well spaced (except WHH and ER) high schools in RobCo.

I'd like to go myself, but SM is a LONG drive from PC. Will it be broadcast on the net anywhere?

*BTW, happy birthday, logger.smiley-greet002.gif

Should be able to get it on the net at allinbroadcasting.com and then follow the link. The game usually comes up at 6:45 cst. Next weeks game at signal I think will start at 6 cst.. Better check on that but our announcers call a good game. Hope this helped.

I would guess that 95% of the students live within the city limits. We have some students from Kimball. Kimball is the town that connects South Pittsburg and Jasper. It is about 4 miles from the school. I am confident that 99% of the students at South Pittsburg High School live within a 10 mile radius of school. Some of these "observations" are kinda silly to be honest. We have a VERY small school and have to play with what we got. To be brutally honest, we have lost alot of athletes over the years to Marion County-Jasper.

I understand what Wildcatpride is tryin to say...in Wayne County we have three schools branched out over the county and all three are 20min.s apart. All three are 1A schools that 2 schools average graduating about 85 students a year and Clifton...well...about 25 on a real good year! The only 3A school close to use Lawrence Co. which is 40min.s away(30mins if you drive like me). In all my years of watching WC football I've never seein one kid not from Waynesboro play for WC football team until this year...got one kid that moved here(that was just for football)....granted there have been kids move because of family problems. SP is centered in between some bigger schools and has a bigger population than WC does. So, if there hasn't been any kids to ever come play at SP than I'll stay out of it but it would be hard for me to believe that some kids from those bigger schools wouldn't have come to play for a team with such good history and get noticed(especially if they weren't gettin to play at the other schools). Play with what you got no doubt, but sometimes there is more to pick from with what you got than others.

I honestly believe Wayne Co. is the best team in the state right now, especially after they thumped Cascade.

And, I'll be honest, other than Wayne, I don't know much about the West Tn teams.

Dad burnit, If only Cascade would have renewed their contract with SP the Pirates maybe could have swayed a few more 1st place votes ifin theys could thump(Recon SP folkes prefer earhole over thump) them again. Old Pirate says thanks for learning OP a tad more how a team can git ranked #1..... :roflol:

      Cummings named Coach at LC.

      By Swipes · Posted

      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.
