This was the best game I've seen all year, and I am so glad to prove all of you guys wrong. I can't believe that all of yall thought that Overton was going to beat Hillsboro. Overton just isn't on Hillsboro's level yet, but they played a very good game and almost won.

 

Hillsboro 2002 State Contenders, yeah I said it.

Domonique- I know you were right about Hillsboro winning. You won't hear any lame excuses from this Bobcat fan. And yes I know you have bragging rights and all. But to say that Overton is not on Hillsboro's level yet? Come on man, give me a break. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Both teams played a hard fought game and I would bet that there were just a few scared Burros when Hillsboro's punt was blocked and Overton took over at the 23 yard line. Hillsboro was the better team on this night, but Overton is definately on Hillsboro's level. And as far as the level of honor and class, you just proved that the Burros aren't quite on Overton's level just yet. Congratulations to all the Burros out there, you guys played very well in the best game I've seen all year long. Hopefully we will meet again in the playoffs.

How about an unbiased opinion from an unbiased observer? Mean Jean the first was at the game tonight and saw two equally matched teams line up and play some smash mouth football! While most were talking about the offenses of these two powerhouses, it was both team's defense that excelled! These two teams are strong, fast, quick, come off the ball like gang busters and hit like there ain't no tomorrow! This is high school football at it's finest!

 

Personally, I thought the big differance in these teams, and it was a BIG advantage, was in the kicking game of Hillsboro! Dang that boy can boot the pigskin! GREAT GANE!

 

And thanks to Stan Trott for a great meal and Coach T for the GREAT back rub! Wheeeeeeeee!

Aren't you the same guy who was talking about Hillsboro's fans, and you want to talk about class. The reason why I'm so happy about the victory over Overton is because the whole time the students and players at Hillsboro knew that we were going to bring the heat. You guys were comparing our score with yalls against other teams, and that meant nothing. Yall were getting hype off those blowouts that yall were winning over no one while we were just focused on winning the game.

Domonique-No one from Overton was talking trash at all this week or after the game. And I wasn't talking about Hillsboro's fans, I was talking about you, one fan. Now as for getting hyped about all of our blowouts, I and other people were just using those numbers to prove to you and other Hillsboro fans that Overton did belong at the same level and that Overton was going to "bring the heat" too, which we did.

What about when hillsboro was going through pregame stretch and the overton student body started talking trash. If i remember right it was something like " O fridge O fridge Fridge stinks!". First thing that doesnt show much class,and Second how smart was that to ###### off a 260lb monster like fridge.

Overton fans talked a little bit too much trash. It made me mad how much stuff Overton fans and players were talking, but obviously they couldn't back it up because they came up shourt at the end of the game. At the game those guys with the letters B.O.B.C.A.T.S. on their chest had ran on Hillsboro's side holding up Overton signs and tried to run through some Hillsboro guys. Unfortunately the didn't make it to the other side without getting hit upside the head with a couple of cold drinks.

As i said it Hillsboro would win and they did but let me set the record straight, Hillsboro has the best team but Overton is on the same level as them but it was Hillsboro's big game experince that provided the win but Overton is right there. Im glad for both team and thanks for a good football game. Also im a maplewood panther fan but good football is good football.

Well, this was definately one of the best games I have ever been a part of, but there is one thing that really sticks out in my mind, and I think anybody else with very much football knowledge will agree.

1) A very touchy sideline violation call on Overton on 4th and inches very early in the ball game.

At the time of this call Overton was driving deep in

Hillsboro territory. The call completely changed

momentum and was unneccessary due to the fact that

Overton was trying to call a timeout. If Overton scores

right there it is a whole different ball game.

    • 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.
