BVD was in the house. I talked to him before the game seems like a good dude just loves his devils like I do my Falcons got to respect that!

Splo, someone told me BVD ask you about me. I would like to have met him, it's great that people are as passionate as we are about the Mighty Falcons. See you in Loudon Gounty.

My apologies, greengreene22. Thought you were one of the many Greeneville fans, just piling on a NET team. Sincere apology.

Great job Falcons. Obviously, you guys are for real. Hope you win it all. Good run, Sullivan South Rebels.

No never been a south fan at all even when carter was there , just want to see the gold ball stay on this side of the state with your Falcons and the Devils w/ giles thrown in for good measure - bring it home guys !

I don't see how South beat Greeneville

yeah ive still got a sick stomach over that one - to many turnovers (3 fumbles inside the 10) and penalties 9 or 10 for bout 100 yards - then the phantom flag (that was never thrown)  when south fumbled and we recovered but they took it back gave it back to them - also loosing our other rb--- not to make excuses we done everything we could to lose the game. Good luck to you all hope you can dust the rest of your comp.

You didn't see the flag because it was laying on the mustard yellow grass part of the field that had already gone dormant.

Nothing worse than a sore loser. We won, you lost, get over it!! And yes Fulton would have easily handled you greenies too, no doubt....

WAS BVD in the house ??????? Looked like from the highlights that BVD had put out that Greeneville should have won against SS .... dont have any idea on yardage and things but ... penalties and such hurt them

Come on Tad, you are sensible enough to know that home grown highlights tend to only show one side of the story. Penalties and turnovers were a part of both teams struggles that night. The biggest difference between the South - Greeneville and the South - Fulton games is that Fulton's defensive line and linebackers are far better than Greeneville. South had time to throw and was able to run with some success on Greeneville. That didn't happen with Fulton. Our line struggled some early in the year and had improved every week but we simply ran into a wall that we could not move aside and did not have the speed to run around. Wish that #28 had gotten a few more carries around the side but I'm not the coach. It's been a good run by our Seniors and I'm proud of what they have accomplished. Having your season ended 2 years in a row by the eventual state champions is nothing to be ashamed of. Good luck to the Falcons from here on out (not that you need it)!

Nice to meet you SPLO, also nice to meet the other two fellas i watched the game with that were Fulton fans. i'll just callem the newport boys. Clearly, Fulton was the better team in every phase. their D line was rediculous, their D backfield had pretty much a blanket over south and their offense was, well, multiple....LOL...they can run over you or run past you...DO NOT kick to them LOUDON. COngrats to south on a great year, no shame in losing to FUlton to end your season again, we feel your pain. and please yall, dont bother asking me who i thought would have won had fulton played greeneville, because i try to teach my kid to never lie and i would hate to be a hypocrite...HA....good luck next week BlackBirds...OH and that goofy thing they play over the PA before the game....the thing about falcons.....that COULD be reduced to under 30 seconds and still get the point across...good grief i thought that thing was NEVER gona end.

not a sore loser just stating the facts - if Greeneville would have played a flawless game they would have beat sully by at least 3 td's bottom line!

And if South had played a flawless game against gville they would have won by at least 3 touch downs, but who plays flawless games? If gville beats us next year i will give credit where credit is due and not make cry baby excuses. Have a nice offseason.

    • 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.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.
