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.

    • And that needs to go, Charter ,private ,magnet,city and any school that operates differently than pure public schools should be separated. What really needs to be done is address urban and rural. About all the usual powers have access to several kids from other schools period.
    • Sad deal. Hate it. So the coach that kicked her off is now fired?? 
    • Slightly off topic from a gender standpoint but just observed several boys volleyball games in the Knoxville area for a short spring season. The guys seemed to have a great time. There were several club players on each team but several football, basketball and tennis players involved. Knoxville Catholic, Maryville, Heritage, Knoxville West maybe William Blount had teams. Thanks to Coach Brent Carter from Knoxville Catholic/K2 for getting it together. I’m sure the coaches involved got several laughs trying to coach guys that really had no idea what they were talking about but pretty athletic and competitive. Catholic’s best basketball player told the coach he had played a lot of 2:3 and 1:3:1 but never a 3:3 LOL Maybe it will catch on with some more schools next year.
