Science Hill this year, is like when DB had foreman at QB.  SH is a great team don't get me wrong, but McGue and his elusiveness is what makes their offense so great.  Same with Foreman, buying time, making things happen.   When your QB is one of the fastest if not the fastest on the field, and you have some weapons to throw to......that combo can make a high school team awesome.

Agreed. SH lucked up with McGue. Thankful the kid didn't want to be an Indian like his pops was.

I don't know how many times I looked up for a replay and got blinded by a commercial instead.Come on man, those bright adds right before a play as if anyone not paying for an add gives a shet.We have got to square that away .Either cut down the pine trees so traffic can see the commercials when there isn't a game or cut down the jumbo and move it out to I 81 .It's like an animal in the zoo that needs ro be set free to it's natural habitat.

Just read where the Ooltewah QB went 23-37 for 347 yrds. and had 5td's.

 

But hey, we've got a nice stadium with a big screen. Don't need a defense if you've got that. :rolleyes:

Waco Jaco . your O line was big and the best we have seen so far. 24 and 5 were studs.you were 8 pts away from getting crowned for scoring on my defense. It was all about my offense and they proved that they can score at a high level . But in the end my defense may bend but don't break but made the final defensive stance to seal the deal.#LOP #goOwls

Im not taking anything away from your offense but this is what we've been seeing from our secondary for a long time now. Even against average quarterbacks. And it's getting worse. A lot worse. We can't cover anybody now. I can't lay the blame on the players because they change year to year. DB has very good athletes playing in the secondary but results are the same every year. Very poor coaching on the defense side. It's a shame to waste all the talent.

I said when we didn't kick the long field goal at the end.Coach doesn't want to get beat by a point.After the Owl stand with first and goal at the 5, most everyone agreed in the stands that you have to kick it and hope for a stand .GC probably figured the Owls would score quick and we would probably have another chance to kick for the win anyway. Atleast that's what I was thinking at the time.There were many more things that made a huge difference. The hold on the 80 yarder and a missed field goal.Before we throw the secondary under the bus completely, Josh had a great game.So much that they tried to take him out.How about our pick 6 as well.It's a team sport and several plays or no plays by guys all over the field had an impact. Who was responsible for blocking number 5.That could have been several different guys job during the game.I bet he broke the stadium tackle record or atleast came very close.

One difference I saw last night was that the Owls' O Line was bigger and stronger than our D Line. Their QB had all night to throw the ball. It's difficult to cover receivers for that long. For that matter, the entire Owls offense was bigger than our defense. Hard fought game, but I guess size does matter after all.

you cant expect your DB's to cover WRs for longer than 3 seconds. If the qb has longer than that then someone is going to be open

    • 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.
