I watched 2 games today. Here are my observations. Middleton and TC.were better coached, tougher teams that never have up. I respect both clubs. Both played harder than BTW and Westwood. It's scary to see what BTW and Westwood would look like if they were that disciplined. BTW PLAYED THE WORST GAME I HAVE SEEN IN TWO YEARS. just when it looked like westwood was going to blow them out, TC played harder and Westwood slacked up. Now, there were a lot of questionable calls towards the end, but hey

BTW better hope they win the region because they will have a very difficult time winning at Humboldt or Lake County.BTW is a good team but they are not the world beaters that some would have you believe.BTW is not head and shoulders better than the top teams in the state.

Yes, because it can't be that Middleton was one of the few decent teams they played all year. I don't like it when a team wins a game, and afterwards someone says that it was the worst game they've played all year. In your case, two years in which they've been beaten by 15 or more in a few games. It's disrespectful to a good Middleton team.

I have been saying this all year. BTW and Westwood have not played anyone at all this year except each other. I know that both Lake Co and Humboldt are battled tested. Both play a very difficult schedule. BTW might win a state championship this year but it's not going to as easy as you think.

I agree with you. Middleton is a solid ball. It was 5 point game with two minutes left in the game. The game was closer than 12 points. Middleton is a well coached team and plays hard. They will be a strong player in who brings home a gold ball next year.

First of all how did I disrespect Middleton when I stated that they were a well coached team that outplayed BTW and playedd with a lot of heart. Did you overlook that post. Thats how I feel. I respect them now. But its also a fact that BTW played horrible. They really did. I wish BTW PLAYED with as much toughness as Middleton did

It's a back-handed compliment. You say that they play hard, but then you say that BTW played the "worst" game they have played in two years. This is a slap at Middleton because you are saying that they played as hard as they could and still couldn't beat BTW playing the "worst" they have played over the past two years. You never connected that BTW played poorly because of Middleton.

Shall I connect it for you, or do you want a hug. Middleton played great. BTW did not play to their potential. Middleton was a big reason.

I think the same thing is true for LC and Humboldt. Only a fool would want to play BTW at their place in South Memphis!

In regards to be out coached, if the Middleton coach was so smart, why did they not go

at Newby when he got second foul less than a minute into the

game? If by chance BTW would defy the odds of all

you experts and win the state championship. That would give

Coach Horton two state championships, and one runner-up trophy. I doubt very

much if he cares what you think about his coaching ability.

well its kind of hard to go at a player when they are playing a zone--newby moved away from the basket on defense to keep from drawing another foul. i can tell you for a fact, though, that middleton coach burkley is one of the best, most highly-respected coaches in this area period, has a lot less to work with than most of the other teams, and still produces results every year. questioning his "smartness" is a bad call on your part...it wasnt middleton, it was the adjustment newby made to stay out of foul trouble.

    • 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.
