I love to win, love for my teams I support win, but win with class, character and sportsmanship.  I could have tolerated one late hit, but there were 2 called by officials and 3 they let go, it was dirty football period by Aville.  GO Tide and GO Tornadoes represent West TN well this weekend.

Stangfan89,

Your not along. There are other teams Adamsville played this year that complained about dirty play. I really believe they are coached to do this. Needs to be investigated before someone gets hurt bad.

Football is a physical and a rough sport, but again its not war and High School kids are not paid athletes that should have bounty on their head. A team and good coach with character plays hard nosed football between the whistles, they do not take cowardly cheap shots after the whistle. Trenton QB was hit 3 times a full 2 seconds after the whistle, twice while he was on def and 1on offense scramble, when he was side suplexed, lol, thought Jerry the King lawyer pulled down his strap and went full side duplex, it was a full count or two after the whistle. It was apparent they knew they had not chance with #7 in the game.

 

I witnessed #7 take on Huntingdon's largest/strongest player which is 6'5" fullback over and over, he is tough, don't think he minds getting hit, I just called it like I saw it, no class cut throat cheap football. Don't mind hard nosed slobber knocker as long as it legal and between the whistles. You guys so quick to call me crazy and get mad is because you know what I say as a 3rd party no ties to either team is true. I have no axe to grind or reason to be ill toward Aville don't think Stangs / cards ever hooked up on grid iron. just calling it like I see it.

Huntingfon and A ville have hooked up a few times. The last meeting was 70 -0 Mustangs. 9 And 0 all time iin series

I'm so sick of hearing about us playing dirty !!! No one likes successful programs and want to bring it down with accusations you can't back up !! Aville is a physical team , have we ever had a late hit ? Sure so has every other team ! It's called Football !!!!

Put a dress on your kid and join the band ! Or suck it up and play ball !

Yeah like the accusations around your program. Prove some kind of ill intent or shut up about it. I guess you 3rd party observers missed the 3 spearing incidents on a downed running back. We not crying over it. We got beat why are you all worried. Its football and late hits happen. I think Adamsville has only had 5 personal fouls called against them all year. No unsportsmanlike penalties either. I guess the paid officials see it as clean play too. If were so dirty we would have way more penalties than that.

    • 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.
