TSSAA Playoff Process Is The Biggest Joke Ever

Catsfan I have to respectfullly disagree on the assumption that the LC fans would be complaining. Honestly I expected them to leave Huntingdon in Quad 4 to balance it out but would not be a big deal as LC would have been a 2 seed and still had a bye in the first round. We don't complain, like others in our area, about playing in a district with many former AA teams such as Humboldt, Union City, Trenton-Peabody. The falcons did not complain about Perry Co. being moved over last year or having to play Huntingdon in the 2nd round. Like I said Quad three region is a little stronger than in previous years but would it still not have been stacked if we were under the old system?? Only Huntingdon would not have been in the Quad most likely. Again I do not disagree that Quad 3 is stacked just saying it may be a different quad next year and seems to be a certain region year to year.

i think its funny how the lake co fans who post on here are making the comments they are when if the shoe was on the other foot they would be as upset as everyone else but i guess when you benefit from the system it does seem like a good thing

 

and as for the comparison to basketball it an apples to oranges comparison at least in b'ball its a set system none of the morons at tssaa are making decisions who and where you play you play based on district and reigon finish

That is where you are wrong, Lake County wouldn't cry or care if Huntingdon, Perry, or anyone else for that matter was in quad 4. We would just play the game and give them our best shot. And if we were better team we would win if not we would lose, it is that simple. Perry and Huntingdon was both in quad 4 last year and not one person from Lake County complained or cried.The system is flawed I totallly agree but everyone knew the guidelines, so, how everything fell should be no surprise.

and we are ready to play whoever they put before us.

bulliten: lake co. ain't makin' it to cookville!

He was referring to the fact it would be a classic 1A game meaning a true 1A game with 2 teams that have a lot of tradition. We realize that Huntingdon is 1A now under the new classification but you are probably the biggest 1A school in Tennessee. You have had 1 good year since you been in 1A , so don't go beating your Chest. Huntingdon is having a great year so congrats but isn't Lake County the same team that sent you packing last year. I am not saying that Lake County is going to make it to Cookville but Huntingdon hasn't made it yet either, so before I started disrespecting teams on here , I would make sure that mine did something other than have a great regular season first.

Someone needs to ask that Carter man to come out of retirement so we can use his playoff system instead of that Childress mans system. If Grider had won that game last night, we would have a bye next week. Grider did play some good teams like that Davis man from Polk County. I garuntee you their is nothing we can do about it. Let me ask you a question. Is Grider going to be charging more to get into his stadium for this playoff game Friday?

Your joking. Grider was only charging 6 dollars for regular games. This is a bunch of mess. I am going to call the school next week and ask them about this. Why is Grider charging more for these playoff games?

Polk only charges $5 for regular games - what's up with ya'll?

 

Anyway, not Grider's fault - TSSAA sets the price for playoff games, it's $8 a ticket for everybody.

    • 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.
