Just wondering what all the Greeneville fans who said keeping Boles into long at West Greene are thinking about Shuffler scoring the 41st and 48th points of the game against Cumberland Gap? I know that it was still the first half, but wasn't the game well in hand as most of you would say?You get what you can in the first half and put your subs in after halftime. That's alot different than being in the game in the 4th quarter of a blow out just to pad your stats. Let it go, please.

Maybe the Buffs and the Devils can ride the buses together and the Devils can drop off the Buffs at Claiborne and pick them back up on their way home. See how that one goes over.   This should be an

That’s good to hear. You can never have too much speed. I looked at the Greeneville Sun's archive, and I noticed there was a Perkins and a Shuffler mentioned on GMS as well. That can’t be a bad th

There is a big difference between trying to get enough carries to stay sharp for the playoffs versus trying to pad stats.

 

Edit: Just realized the post before mine said basically the same thing.

I was the first one who said it was in the first half. I was just seeing what y'all thought. Some of the comments that were said about Case leaving Boles in were "when the game was in hand." I just think the game was in hand when Shuffler was in, albeit in the first half.

How many carries did Shuffler have? If they would have pulled him after the score was 28-0 then he'd probably only have 4-5 carries. You can't expect him to stay in 'game shape' with that limited number. I doubt it had anything to do with stats. I don't think staying in game shape is a problem for Boles with the number of carries he gets. That's not a shot at him, that is a fact. Just trying to make sure you are clear that the situations are very different.

I agree that the situations are different. If possible G'Ville needs to try to schedule a non-conference stud in week 8 or 9 every year, because right now weeks 6/7-10 are blow-outs and they have to worry about their starters staying sharp.

***NOTE--County fan agreeing (as I often do) with a Greeneville fan AND not crying about ANYTHING!!!

I agree with that. It would be nice if they could spread the tougher competition throughout the schedule versus at the beginning of the year. I'd say they coaches would love to do that as well.

I think they have to play conference games when they fall. I think Greeneville has the earliest open week in conference games than any other BRAC team. Luck of the draw I guess. BTW GreeneDevils Fan, Shuffler had six more yards per carry than Boles did against Cumberland Gap. Pretty impressive night for both studs. I wasn't trying to start anything, just wanted to hear what some had to say about the situation.

As I recall Boles had a monster game against the Gap, but I also recall reading he was still running the ball on their last possession in the fourth quarter...the last play of the game was Boles off tackle. Up 28-7 with mere seconds on the clock and they run a play? I bet the CG coach was plenty pizzed.

Don't know. Wasn't there so I didn't see. I also never read that anywhere.

GHS could have started the 2nd string and won the game. CG looked like they were going to get beat before the game started. I was glad he pulled the starters after the first half, last year he would let them play a series in the second before pulling them. Im sure the starters didnt want to come out when they did, you work all week to play then only get a half. Same goes for the back ups.

      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.
