I always thought that was Bill Lane (Times-News sportswriter). Don't have any proof of that but Bill has probably been retired for some time by now.

 

I have heard that too, but no verification.    Whoever he was the Ole Boy had an uncanny way of predicting scores, KAFF-KAFF         BOOLA-BOOLA       Yessir, the newest resident of the E-Z-Snooze Hotel blew into town every year to peer into the crystal ball and pontificate on various and sundry games.     One of my favorites was from southwest Virginia, the annual Dante vs. Slant game.    The Major never missed that prediction.     He also used to take some very veiled and well guised shots at Gate City during the day.      Back in the 70's he WAS the Times-News sports section.

      Upperman White County both will be loaded. Dyersbirg and South Side will be a handful as well. Getting about that time in about 3 weeks we start watching summer scrimmages. Dyersburg loaded loaded loaded with talent. Most talent ever I have seen in their program.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By BarneySox2007 · Posted

      If that Yellow Paint is all gone I'll flat bet it didn't wash off there. I bet that took some scrubbing to remove that if it is gone. Lacrosse is one of those northern sports all these misplaced Yankee's that are posion to the community brought in by  (Blount Partnership, ( The Devil) with them so somebody allowed them to paint their markings on the field that cost more than the twenty top people on payroll at Maryville make a year. All this to please the 1% Club and the 25 people that would come to see it. All in the name of WOKE!!!!!!
