Like where?

Quit your whining and accept the fact that you got beat. Since your school is only five years old, I'm sure you have better facilities. It must really hurt to lose to a team that is so much slower than that fast team of yours. By the way, how did you like that 'onion bag defense'?

Well I gues that answers why. If the community doesn't care, it will never change. didnt bash anyone except your leaders with the money. I don't have that Mercedes, I bet someone in your leadership that controls money going to your athletic program does though. I Maybe a clown and classless in your eyes but I would want better for my kid. You all are being robbed blind by someone and your too stuck on complaining about critics to see it, let alone fix it.

someday when and if EH has as many state championships in sports as Livingston, then you can talk. Overtan county doesnt have ther tax base that Hamilton County has. May I should start a fund it account for LA, see how much money EH folks contribute. See if you put your money where your mouth is.

Yup, Livingston got us. Good job. They felt right at home in the sloppy conditions (maybe that's where the hog in hog-eye comes from). The canes acted like they were afraid to get dirty at times. Good luck the rest of the year Wildcats.

Never denied the fact the better team won. La was tougher and wanted it more. Didn't use any excuses. Just stated an observation and opinion about the facilities at la. I should have kept those opinions to myself. The quote above is a couple of posts before my opinion piece. I stated what I thought about the game then-la excelled in those conditions eh played like they were afraid of it.

 

As far as tax base and funding, sorry but Hamilton county gives zero funding for athletics. All athletic program funding is by booster clubs, parents, and those two groups busting their #### to make game day as close as POSSIBLES to first class for our athletes, students fans and visitors. All on the perspective booster clubs dime. Evidence of no funding from the county would be our gravel track and field track around the football field. That team doesn't have a home track. I don't know this for fact but I would say they are actively raising funds to install that track that would no doubt be first class instead of just throwing down some second rate asphalt surface that would encourage injury to the athlete.

 

The barrier fence around your place that is five yards away from the sideline is shameful and dangerous. Early in the game our running back while cleanly being tackled before going out of bounds slides across the slime into the fence. what if it had been into the concrete wall of the bleachers? Advantage for you?

 

I understand funding issues, but when someone calls you out on the field being bad, why justify it by saying "there worse" implying at least we're not as bad as 'x' county. Get off your #### and do something or speak up and say something. Vote for someone that will do something. Want more for your kid. Why settle? Because it was good enough for you?

 

I'm done with this week. Won't be posting anymore here.

 

Livingston Academy has a heck of a team and beat the breaks off East Hamilton last night. Good luck the rest of your season and maybe we can redeem ourselves next time we play.

Facilities.... How much did it rain up at LA? Must had soaked some Cane brains for them to trash talk someone's facilities.

Let's look at EH:

NO bathrooms The Port-A-Pottys are nic'uns!

NO track. Gotta love the gravel oval

NO concession buildings

NO player field houses

And the same goes for the other sports.

Is East Hamilton located in a high tax zone? Yes

Do the facilities reflect the community. No

Do the parents care? Yes.

Do Hamilton County officials care? Heck NO!

Do the facilities reflect Hamilton County planning? Heck YES

A combo school (middle/high) that shares all facilities you think county officials would had provided completed officials; but obviously not.

 

Looks like volunteers do well with what they got but the community got hosed with their incomplete not up to par facilities.

    • 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.
