wouldn't mind at all it happening again GC - pay back to that sorry u-know-what for all those on-side kicks last yr.,when we were hollering across the field about what a low-life he was for having his kicking coach do that. go get em GC

Very True.....you don't kick a dog while he is down and out. Hard to forget those kind of things and that nights game rang out across western tennessee like the Liberty bell rang again. Sometimes...paybacks are * * * * ! Many football fans remember that night very well, even many Rebel fans were embarassed to say the least....2nd or 3rd string. Maybe that was the time you should have practiced on the kicking game and not kicking the other over matched team deeper into the dirt. Don't worry though...Covington is down the road and they will remember also. This is why Coach jackson has NO respect in Western Tennessee. I have had many high school coaches and refs say over the summer...that dog don't hunt. Like it or not, O C Coach jackson was totally in the wrong on that game. Now it is this year and just maybe...paybacks comes as a suprise. I still say Obion wins Friday night. Just had to chime in on this one. Get mad at me or not..just stating the facts and what other brought up on here.

Well, it's pretty tacky reguardless of what he was trying to accomplish. OC's kicking game was not too great last year.... that game would've been a good time to work on kicking deep and staying in lanes. Jackson accomplished nothing by kicking 7 or 8 onside kicks except that he is as classless as it comes. I'm sure me saying this means absolutely nothing to him, but I'm a true believer in karma and it'll get him one day. Our players should take from last years game and play this weeks game like it's the state championship. Nothing would be sweeter than to win against OC after last years stunt they pulled.

Let's be fair and say that OC is not the only team that puts them "deeper in the dirt". Just about everyone the Pioneers play blows them out. Heck, Milan blew them out of the water in the 1st quarter just like OC did last year. Oh and onside kicks are a part of the game. The object of the game is to retain possession of the ball at all cost. There is nothing wrong with getting a little live practice when you have the game under control.

Gibson County's problems are just mental. They always have a strong middle school team. I don't know what happens when they get to high school.

What we mean....you will be a Gibson County from last year and Covington will be a Obion County from last year but much better. Covington is Covington and will take advantage of the lopsided night when they play O C. Covington will run through your region with ease. One of their assistant coaches said they remember all of the onside kicks against a helpless Gibson County last year. It is not the kids fault....the O C kids that is...they were told to do so. I'm sure that will be brought up in one of the articles this week somewhere.

And Milan didn't kick a single onside kick and played their second, 3rd and 4th strings with less than 7 minutes in the 1st quarter.

Well its like I said.. no other teams out there show any mercy toward Gibson County. No team scores 2 or 3 touch downs and calls it quits so that the other team can catch up. Yeah last years OC team may have had their onside kicks but every other team that Gibson County played ran away with the game in their own way.

covington is gonna take advantage of oc just like y'all did to Gibson .. Covington has respect for all teams but prolly not soo much for oc after the video they posted this off season .. Motto smart when u are messing with a team that is ranked first in the state .. Oc will get what they deserve this 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.
