PI Article

 

Don't take this the wrong way, but if Priddy thinks this Ridgeway team was one of the best teams HC has EVER played...he has lost his mind.

 

Way to jump the gun in the article, too. The semi-final monkey hasn't gone anywhere as of yet.

 

One of the best teams we've ever faced? Yeah, that's definitely quite a stretch. One of the most talented teams we've ever faced? I could see a legit argument for that.

 

Not sure how he "jumped the gun", though. He plainly mentions our semi final history, and our lack of success against sumner county. Not sure what your problem was with that part.

Well ridgeway also talked about how soft our schedule was and they are getting ready for basketball. They too only lost to 2 6A teams and a nationally ranked top 20 team from dallas. Schedules don't mean anything this deep in the playoffs.

 

Ridgway's Schedule was also soft, 79th softest or hardest, either way you look at it 79th, and your 88th are a far cry from 9th.

Oh look, it's another one of "these" guys. Just make sure everyone finds there way to Paris friday night, because once it happens, you can throw your schedule out the window. The better team is going to win Friday night. I'm not saying it's for sure going to be us, but I do like our chances. :thumb:

Yeah, one of those guys! :rolleyes: And if you really want to follow your own argument, Ridgeway has the 28th toughest schedule and Hendersonville has the 21st toughest. Man, that's a huge difference! I think Hendersonville may have an advantage here! So check out the link, its really interesting. CoachT strength ratings are inaccurate, but the Massey rating system is pretty spot on...

Before you blister your fingertips telling us how bad our schedule/district is, please refer to Page 4, 3rd post on this string. You can also refer back to all other weeks this season and read the same concerns our competitors have had on this subject. We are very accustomed to y'all's concern about our weak schedule/district. We are not at all sensitive about our weak schedule/district. In the next 48 hours, Red Warrior can illuminate for you why our weak schedule/district will have no impact on the level of play you will witness this Friday in Paris.

 

Now, if you'd like to post some Facts, rather than references to subjective strength of schedule opinions, we are all ears. Examples of Facts would be:

 

1 The St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series despite playing in the weakest division

2 The combined record of the teams who've beaten Ridgeway is now 45-1

3 When a receiver gets hit by a Patriot in the open field, that receiver is not interested in receiving any more passes for that game (he should be fine for the next game which, in this case, will be next year)

4 When receivers lose interest in receiving, rushing becomes an important aspect of the game

5 Rushing is not a very good strategy against Henry County

6 More concerns will be posted about our weak schedule/district by those who want it to be a valid issue

The only thing exciting about this match up is that it's in round four...this will be no contest. Except for an errant kickoff when up 21-0, we would have won by 40+ last week. This game will not be close. As I have said all along, we will NOT be tested until round three or four...well, in a rare instance...I am wrong...we will POSSIBLY be tested in round five. Make your reservations for the title game, and size up for your rings...I know you have to play the games...but the fat lady has begun to sing.

To keep you actually factual, Facts Only, I must point out that White Station, who beat Ridgeway in week 1 finished at 8 and 5.

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
    • Dyersburg scrimmaged South Gibson last week
    • 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.
