Glad to have you back Dad....hope the ticker is working correctly!! Did you happen to see any Lewis Co folk up there at St Thomas? I think some of them have flat lined!?!

Oh, I am sure they will be around, just takes a little while for internet service to reach holeinthwall. May need to ride over and see what all the fuss was about a few weeks earlier, when everyone knew the world revolved around LC and the View.

I guess LewisCoPanthers doesn't find a need to post. Last I remember he replied to you about a week ago that "Lewis Co will win out". Any idea how they did Friday night?

 

 

Sorry guys, I've been working. I knew I couldn't leave it up to you all to get anything done. In all seriousness, everyone knows it will be a close game friday night. I'm not one to blame a loss on officiating. LC didn't exactly play up to snuff, but it did seem a bit lop sided last friday when the officials practically walked MC up and down the field the opening drive and the rest of that half for that matter. GC is always well coached, and it usually is a slobber knocker. I look for another one friday. Sounds like it's gunna be a wet one, this should favor LC's ground and pound.(hopefully) I'm gunna pick my Panthers-21 to Giles Co.-14. Could go either way, the way LC played last friday. LC has to step up.

LC won't have to worry about big 56 from GC this week. He and our LT got into it big time last week and both got ejected.

See, it's stuff like this that makes me like Summit that much more. Always willing to lend a helping hand. Preciate it summ. judge.

You will both get to see him again, a couple times he is just a sophmore. We do hope to get a junior back that was injured in the first game of the season. Panthers better be hanging their hopes on the idea the bus can't make it.

We have 2 really major subs coming back this week from injuries that couldn't play last week that is a big part of this football team. I'm done complaining about the MC officials cause when it is said in done...we still needed to play football. It's football. The high school officials is gonna miss a lot of calls. They ain't professionals. But being serious right here.. If LC comes out like they did against MC...we are toast. If they come out like a TEAM then its gonna be a fun game. We have had a lot of ME's on our team..all they care about is stats stats stats..After last week i think it gave them a wake up call. I believe they are gonna come out looking better on boths sides of the ball and play a COMPLETE game as a TEAM. We are very young. Our line is all Sophomores besides our LT and he is a junior..we have 4 sophomores starting on defense as well. And i've heard from the LC coaches that GC is young also but i heard that they are very athletic as well. So i think it will be a good contest.....IF Lewis County comes out willing to take it.

Yeah a cowardly cheap shot from your LT.The play was over and 56 has his back turned and your LT cowardly hit him in the back.OC should appeal.

 

You probably don't want to appeal b/c then the TSSAA will see exactly what was going on that led to the fight. 56 was not an innocent bystander and he didn't have to fight. I'm not condoning 78's actions but he was provoked throughout the first half and tapes would show exactly why he exploded. And if you'll remember the fight happened right after our QB was unnecessarily body slammed into the ground knocking him unconcious. That's one of his best friends. He was a powder keg...but again...that doesn't make it right. For all I know he was provoking 56 too. But you might lose another player if that film showing our QB getting destroyed gets out.

 

I bet 56 is a good kid. I thought he was a senior to be honest. So his future is bright. I also know that when there is a problem between two people they both have a role in it. But I am not ever going to call high school kids cowards. Football is aggressive and emotional and those emotions went unchecked for a moment Friday night. I know 78 regrets it. I suspect 56 does too. And I bet neither of them will do that again for a long time. I would appreciate it if you took the high road like the rest of your fans and not throw out words like cowardly again when you only know part of the story.

Giles is very athletic...seems all their big guys run real well. But your team seemed to have a lot of speed at the skill positions. If you get the refs that called our game with GC you get a fairer shake than any other crew I've seen this year. The were actually all under 80 years old and in shape.

 

What's amazing to me is how young all the teams are in the district. I think the only team we played that had a lot of senior starters was Page. Should be a lot of great wars next year.

yeah im going to stick with the word cowardly because your player hit 56 from behind when the play was over.Sorry he "slammed your Qb down" knocking him out but at least that was during a play.Your right dont know what went on all night between those two but when i say cowardly not calling him cowardly in general but i am calling him cowardly for that play.I think you all have a great team and from what i saw friday night a bright future.I expect you all to make some noise in the future if not next year.

    • 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. 
    • I’d say 3rd round is our ceiling
