That 93 Grundy county team was the best that I remember on the mtn. Had a pair of twins, was it nunleys? That year Kingston pulled off the huge upset and beat mc 7-6 in a monsoon. On a dry field they would have hammered Kingston. Grundy got beat by McMinn central I think in an upset that same week and the next week would have been a rematch with mc vs gc. McMinn central Ended up finishing runner up that year losing to Springfield in the finals. That was one of the toughest districts that year with three quality teams in it.

Was it 3 or 4 TDs called back? I remember 3 for sure. As an MC alum I know you remember the controversy on that 4th and goal call lol

 93 was indeed a wild year. That region with Marion, Grundy and McMinn Central was loaded. All three of those teams could run the football. It was the first year of the new classification and play-off system. Regions were cross bracketed and made the early part of the playoffs a lot of fun. McMinn Central who finished 5-5 went on the road to York and won in an upset. Then went to Seymour who was ranked in the top 5 and beat them. Got to the quarters and played Grundy. It was wet and foggy that night. When they announced at 1/2 time that Kingston had beaten Marion, the Grundy fans went crazy. McMinn Central scored 2 or 3 times in the second half to upset the Yellow Jackets.

 

Hope that Grundy has found them a coach and will give him  a chance.

The Beaver was someone that wanted the job or was close to someone that did. His sole purpose on here was to bash Bryant. I've got Grundy finishing no better than 3-7 this season.

The interview talked about him getting some old buddies to assist him this year. Could be good or it could be a train wreck, and that's where I would lean towards. Just because Tate is going to surround himself with hometown guys that were decent ball players doesn't mean they know how to coach. This one will be interesting to watch.......

LMBO I agree with you. Just looking at their schedule I don't think The Beaver goes better than 3-7 at the absolute best. Probable 2-8 or 1-9 season looming in Grundy County.

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
