With this much talent as y'all say I don't see why they keep dodging there small school neighbors in Kentucky. Maybe they can make there 3-20 record better against Mayberry.

actual record is 7-19 and 1 tie against Mayfield.  Obvious with lack of knowledge comes with lack of credibility.  The reason we have to travel to places out of state is to fill our season schedule.  No local teams or regional teams are able to fill in that date slot for whatever reason.  When you play in a large district and you have to play each team (8 of 10 teams on our 2016 schedule are district games) you fill other dates with teams that have open dates as well.  Not rocket science, no conspiracy, no dodging, just is what it is.

Where did you get those numbers. I guessed, but looked it up after you questioned my credibility. Out of the record book I have 4-22-1.

UC record book.  If you need actual records from the actual school, call school office.  If you got those numbers from whoever, you are wrong.

Atlas, don't that half wit any more time. He must not have friends because he's been trying to pick a fight on several other threads as well.

Thanks.  Will always defend UC.  There will always be haters and lovers, but stupidity needs to be corrected.

got an old mayfield record book given to me years back. It has mayfield leading 22-4-1. I'd put more stock in that record instead of union city. The khsaa and nhsfa both are pretty spot on with mayfield numbers.

Union City brought a bus to Murfreesboro yesterday for the Oakland/Michigan Satellite camp and were really impressive.  Two of their kids recieved awards for being among the fastest at a camp of over 300 players.  I was all over Dresden to be the preseason top pick, but that showing yesterday has me wondering now.   Hmmm

UC is always impressive. Dresden will give them a good battle this year. I hope anyway

Union City would love to play Mayfield, but they do not want to come away with injuries when you have to play against 19 and 20 year old kids,  everyone knows that Mayfield picks out a few kids when they are in Junior High and holds them back a year for every class.

Well guys as you can see ole volstomper is back on the boards again. This is the same guy who came on last year trying to give his input on the Dresden game. He knew nothing about either team other than what he read on these boards and simply gave UC no chance of winning because we are a running program. ......we all know how that turned out. The thing I thought was funny about the whole thing was that after the Tornadoes decisively beat the Lions, ole volstomper couldn't be found. He's just a troll and nothing more. He knows nothing about our school or our history. He was completely wrong last year and now he's found this Mayfield thing and wants to stir things up with that. You can explain all you want about scheduling and you are wasting your time. It's pointless.

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
    • Dyersburg scrimmaged South Gibson last week
    • 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.
