I am a Cocke County graduate and moved 300 miles away about 15 years ago. When I got up on Saturday morning and checked the Coacht scoreboard and saw 29-28, I did a double take. Cocke County beating Jefferson County is a big deal and always will be. Old guys like me from many miles away still keep up with Big Red football. I'm proud of the new coach and the kids. They are turning this thing around. Keep up the good work.

I checked this one expecting the usual Dumplin Valley gang on here bashing the coaches...obviously they are still in a state of shock over this one.

Wow, the wheels must have fallen off for JCHS. I have been trying to keep up with them as I graduated in the first class from there, but none of the regulars seem to be writing much.

 

As far as the rivalry, Celticsfan, I remember many HEATED games between Jeff City HS and Newport, then we won the 1st of the new series in '75 as Patriots. They had a tough running back named Chrisman that year, he was the real deal. His uncle was the head coach. I met him later at ETSU and found out he was a good guy, we usde to hate everybody from Cocke Co.

You're talking about Andy Chrisman. Andy played for his relative, Dale, the head coach. Andy had good size AND speed, and was as good in baseball as he was in football. I think the game in Newport in '76, that Cocke County won a close one, was one of the best I've ever seen.

 

Jefferson County is a much bigger school and has a lopsided advantage in the series. Ironically, Jefferson County's State Championship team was coached by a former Cocke County football player, Craig Kisabeth. Craig built a dynasty there and made it deep into the playoffs nearly every year......winning it all in '87 or '88.

The rivalry with Jefferson City was much more competitive, school size and won/loss speaking. I played in the 74 and 75 games, actually had an interception as a defensive lineman in the 74 game at CCHS. It was always heated during the games, a lot of smack talk and not much love lost afterwards either. Chrisman was the real deal and a heck of a guy, too. I have a friend who coached with Dale at MoWest and spoke very highly of him, too.

 

Kisabeth had the Collins family and some other great athletes he motivated to be their best. It was a great time for JCHS, maybe some day they will regain the glory. I have to keep up with them here as I live in Nashville and really don't get there too much anymore. Thanks for the good memories!

First off, congrats to CC. No program needs a big win more than the big red. As to the coach bashing. not much this year. had great team until few weeks ago. At the end of this game we were playing 5 starters on defense. Injuries will make if difficult for this team to win 2 more games this year. Cobble must be wondering what the heck has happened? 6 season ending injuries. What hit JC hard is loosing the top to LB's. Loosing Smiley and Williams kills JC. every time a player falls its an acl or mcl . lost another one in first def series friday. Good luck CC. go beat the MT teams. Just throw it up to 2 and let him do his thing.

    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.
