Ooltewah Owls @ SD Trojans

Been reading posts all year about Soddy Daisy coaches needing to do this and needing to do that. I have watched every game this season and the truth is SD just does not have the players to compete in 6A. SD does not have a play maker other than #32. #14 is a good QB but does not have a WR that is consistent and he gets about 1 to 2 seconds to throw before getting hit. Defense has not made a big play all year. I know some are going to say that the fumble in OT against Central was a big play but Central gave that to SD. The only player on defense that shows any fire is #52. The way I see it is if you dont have players that have the skills or desire to win it is hard to coach. I know it is partly the coaches job to instill the desire and that is one area we can improve but the coaches cant tackle, block or catch the ball for the kids.

 

BS

Everybody on the D gives 100%

Enough Said

To say the only player to show any “fire†on defense is 52 is ridiculous. What games have you been watching. The score was 42-14, take away the 2 pick sixes you’ve got 28-14. We had the ball at least 4 times in the red zone with no points. You do the math. And to say there have been no big plays on defense is another idiotic statement.

Enough about what some idiot says on here. We all know our kids play as hard as they can and give more than 100% all the time. As long as I know that I will always be proud of them. GO TROJANS!!!

:thumb: Ummm...your 100% correct.Ooltewah's defense has done its share this year and special teams(at times).

Soddy dropped 3 tds in the endzone(the first one would've been a highlight catch),so take away 2 BIG turnovers and soddy's 2 for sure tds and the score would have been tied!!! 52 does play hard,but when no one blocks you all night,it might look like he's the only one doing something,but last time I checked he didnt have 60 tackles friday,so somebody else was playing football,too.

Hey Legend, Didn't see anyone one lay down against Bradley. Kids played hard. By the way, now that you have seen both the owls and Bears. What do you think for Friday night?

Thanks Hootowl. Your right our boys do play hard every game. As for the game Friday if Bradleys offensive line can slow down Ooltewahs pass rush it could be a long night for the Owls they just do not have enough offense to score with Bradley. But if Ooltewah will use the running game with #5 and #28 and not try to throw so much they could slow the game down and keep the ball away from the Bears. I say Bradley-31 Owls-21.

I hear so called fans in the stands all the time commenting on what the kids should've done on this play and what they should've done on that play. "Back when I played we would've done X!" BS...truth is none of us could could walk 5 feet in these boys shoes, they're bigger, stronger , and faster than "Back when I played!!" And I'll guarantee most, if not all these boys would tear these arm chair analyst a new A-hole, it's easy to say they don't give 100% from the sidelines and stands and hiding behind our keyboards, but they're the ones out there in the heat, the cold, the rain, bleeding and crying to where we can't see because they are giving 115% and people do nothing but criticize.

    • 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.
