Cookeville @ LaVergne

I don't know what will happen in the playoffs or next year. All I know that Friday night our boys were shaken at the start of the game as one of their peers left in an ambulance. One TE out, the other gets injured and it slowed our Offense. Excuse maybe. It threw a wrench in the system. If you replace a 6'6 260 pounder with a 6'2 205 pounder blocking on the edge it makes a difference. You claim to know so much about Cookeville, then you know that the TE is a big part of the running game. The back-up did well, but he was playing injured and both ways. Then didn't play for a spell. It had an impact on the game. How much, we will never know.

 

You two Upperman homers can slam Cookeville all you want. I have watched games for years. I have watch Cookeville for years. This team isn't Blackman and Oakland. I know that. Riverdale and Siegel are the next tier. Then you have Smyrna and Lavergne. Then Stewarts Creek. Where Cookeville falls, who knows. I think in the middle (wrong or right).

 

UCM, I think you should go see Coach Maynord and help him with the schedule. You are very obsessed with what he does and who he schedules. I

Lets look at the big picture here, when someone is forced into a defensive excuse of this nature, you know that person is on the brink of admitting defeat. Cookeville is not a bad team, but they are a mere form of Stewarts Creek if you throw them into Rutherford County. Edited by MJGOLDENBEARS

Cookeville has played good competition up until the last two years. The one who did the scheduling for these last two years did a bad job. Coach Maynord inherited this schedule and team. It will look different in year to come. That of course depends on the district Cookeville gets put in.

 

9AAA is a good region. Ask Gallatin how Cookeville was early on!!

Far cry from where they are now.

A down 9-AAA could still have our top 4 teams beat Cookeville. You're avoiding the facts.... Cookeville plays weak opposition and thus pays for it when they actually play anyone with talent....

 

You Wilson County folks sure do struggle with the difference between opinion and fact. Saying that the top 4 in 9-AAA could beat Cookeville is opinion. I'm not avoiding facts because there is nothing to support that. Saying that 9-AAA is not as good as the Rutherford County district is fact. Why? Because Hendersonville, Wilson Central, and Beech all have lost to those in that district. That's fact. Pretty simple concept. :P

 

Hopefully, it can work out where Cookeville can host one of those powerhouse 9-AAA teams in the playoffs. That would be fun. :mrgreen:

Wow talk about a narcissistic post.... I cant even reply to someone who accuses me of being wrong, and thinks so highly of what they have to say. Also Cookeville has played a weak schedule FACT,,,,, Cookeville lost to a par Lavergne team quite handily FACT We can play this game however long you want. Eventually you will get the point.

7aaa> 9aaa most years even though the 7aaa has the better atmosphere on game day. I followed Mt Juliet around 2 years ago and was one of my favorite places to watch a game. I live in Rutherford Co now and watch a lot of football in this area...its just not the same. Cookeville would finish no better than fourth in any of these districts.This is the second year in a row they have lost to a below average Lavrgne team.

I only have one point in this conversation. I can't speak for all of 9-AAA but as for Gallatin, they have proved over a long period of time that they can compete with Cookeville and various teams from Rutherford Co. That is just the facts, they don't always win but they sure don't always lose. Look it up!!

I did look it up GWave1. Facts are facts. Dating back to 1962, Gallatin has an overall record of 57-26-1 against every combined 7AAA team. Many of those wins may have been from a while back, but the record was still completely even dating back to recent pretty recent times. Edited by thegreatone36

I'll get the point?  :huh: Seems as though you are the one learning in this thread. I'm just glad that you can now differentiate between fact and opinion. As to those facts you presented, I have not once avoided those in this thread.

 

My argument with you is that you try to boast like 9-AAA is on par with Rutherford county by saying "welcome to real Middle Tennessee football" in a thread that has nothing to do with Mount Juliet or 9-AAA. When you look at the scores from this season, that statement is most definitely false.

 

As I said before, maybe one of those 9-AAA teams could travel to Cookeville in the playoffs. That'd be interesting. :popcorneater:

Just talking about the only interaction that Cookeville has had with a 9AAA team.  That team seems to have done pretty well as the season has gone.  

 

We will compare 7AAA and 9AAA in the playoffs and see who does what.  We will also see how Cookeville does.

 

I'm not saying that Cookeville is quaterfinal/semifinal material, but I'm not saying that are the sisters of the poor either.   They are better than Cookeville has been since 2005.  I think that they will continue to get better as long as Coach Maynord is there.  

 

UCM all your posts are about Upperman.  Pro Upperman!!!!  You want to jump on the LA bandwagon, and bash Cookeville.  You are a Cookeville Hater.  All these other guys can have their opinion based on the Lavergne game, but yours is hate. 

 

Gallatin is a historic program.  I will give you that.  I have been to many major Gallatin playoff/championship games.  That luster has been lost a little in the last decade.  In my opinion.

    • 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.
