1A State Championship-Greenback and NCS!

[carguy59]

Fellers just got through watching ole Silvey on Hudl and good gosh a mighty that kid is a beast! NCS better double team him because I ain't kidding you won't block him with just one!

The kid has a motor! He wont be the biggest guy we have faced this year, but it looks like he gets after it.

Hey OnB I just saw a picture on Twitter of "GB's Angel". Have you seen it? Gave me chills

[ranger519]

Lol I'm blowing him up to be more than he really is but Silvey is a pretty good player.

From the video, he looks to be the best DL you have. I imagine the CA GB game would have been maybe another score by GB or one less by CA had he been on the field.

I will say this. Greenbacks

 

#1 Kayne Roberts

35 TD'S leading scorer in the state in all classifications.. 224 points

 

#50 Josh Silvey

20 sacks I will guarantee you that there is no lineman in the state can stop him one on one...

 

Not opinions facts...

Well that left guard sure had no problem doing on that TD run of play 37 on the Harriman vs Greenback film.

He is a good player no doubt! But I hope he has learned to control himself better now that he h got caught doing stuff that he has done all year.

Silvey is special. If NCS tries to block him 1 on 1 he will win the match up far more often than not. He's not unstoppable but he is very good.

I agree, but to say the best in the state? He's special for a 1A player no doubt about it, but those big 5A and 6A teams have linemen that are better.

Congrats to NCS - you have a good team and I hope your kids enjoy your success. I have not read through all 68 pages of this thread, but I have read enough that it is clear that some (not all) of the NCS supporters are willing to provide misinformation about other schools (by name) in some misguided attempt to try to make NCS "look better".

 

First, JP2 doesn't have 100 athletes on the sidelines and unlimited linemen platooning in and out throughout the game. In reality, JP2 had about 54 kids that dressed for football this fall. NCS has about 57. By contrast, Ensworth had about 66, with 8 seniors (far less seniors than NCS according to one of the NCS posters). Most of the linemen, as well as the other players, on both JP2 and Ensworth play both ways. In fact, the Ensworth qb this year not only played on offense and defense, but often on special teams as well. In short, the NCS "excuse" on here that they have far less players than JP2 is false.

 

Second, and of more importance, your implication that Ensworth somehow uses these kids and spits them out after their athletic eligibility is used up is completely baseless. You should be ashamed of yourself for spreading such lies when you have no idea of what you are saying. In fact, Ensworth has a rigorous academic curriculum which is the same for all students. They have very high entry standards and try very hard to not admit students who may not be able to keep up academically. You would be surprised if you knew some of the athletes who applied to but were refused admission to Ensworth. There are a few kids (both athletes and not) who start at Ensworth and discover that they cannot or will not meet the academic requirements. These students leave Ensworth and go to a school that is a better match for their intellect and/or energy level. Contrary to the implication on another post in this thread, "Tiny" decided to leave Ensworth (for reasons which are none of our business) after playing only a couple of games his senior season - the team persevered and won their first State championship without him. He was not "used" and discarded by Ensworth.

 

Ensworth and NCS are dissimilar schools. Ensworth is a college prep school where every student who graduates is expected to matriculate at a college or university following their graduation. Recent graduates are now studying at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Johns Hopkins, etc. (this list is available on their web site). NCS, on the other hand, is set up to assist all kinds of students to successfully attend high school. The following is but one example of a "special program" from their web site:

 

 

"High school: Courses at the high school level are mandated by Tennessee state standards and college preparatory requirements, which inhibit the option for language arts and math skills. Students may be taught individually or grouped with a remediation to occur within the curriculum. Alternate courses are offered to students that may need a slower pace of instruction and/or modified curriculum. The alternate class may or may not meet college preparatory requirements. They may also affect type of diploma a student may earn. Course offerings include: English, Math, Spanish and Science. Alternate course offerings may change yearly based on the needs of the student body. For additional information refer to the​Four Year Academic Plan"

 

 

No mention is made as to whether the students enrolled in this program are eligible for athletics.

 

Neither type of school is inherently "better" than the other, but it is ludicrous for NCS posters to try to imply that their school is somehow superior to any other school.

 

This should be a good game - hope for a close contest with no injuries either way.

I don't believe that anyone claimed Nashville Christian superior to anyone. And we lost to JP2 fair and square. Their offensive strengths were our defensive weaknesses, and they had great depth. They didn't have that many players on the sideline, and nobody made excuses. I honestly think that our starters were better than theirs, we just didn't match up well. I think that it came down to their ability to make plays with their strengths against our weaknesses. We led at half, but they maintained most momentum after that. They threw a couple trick plays in there as well that they scored on and it drained our momentum. You must say that a 1A team even matching up against a D2AA school is impressive in itself.

He is a very good player to say no one can block him is a little over exaggerating a little.I watch line play more than anything else being that's where mine played and me also,I love that part of the game.I don't want to make it just about Silvey all the kids stepped up last week and had his back.This will be a team effort if we can pull it off.I love the way he plays he plays pissed off just have to make sure he keeps his head he is more than a handful. I can't wait to see how the hillbilly's stack up against these All stars.I personally couldn't ask for a better game if you gonna run with the big dogs we have to get off the porch!Practice hard boys!!!!

He was a starter and an all state D lineman last year at catholic as a sophomore to bass. Don't bring that 1A crap in on this one.

We proved friday night that we could play without him, granted it would have been easier with him, but our little team just steps up whoever is called on. 50 is a good kid just needs to learn to control himself. I would hate to be the one charged wit the task of blocking him this week! He is a kid that plays almost every play. And now hes had a week to rest. Old ONB talked to him friday night after the game and I hope he stands by what he said to ONB.

And just where did I say best in state or no one could block him. I said NCS doesn't have a lineman that will consistently win 1 on 1. I also said he was not unstoppable but 1 on 1 he will win more than he loses. I will say that holds true in any classification. This however is a merely academic discussion though as NCS will not go 1 on 1 on a regular basis anyway.
