I know you are new around here, but if you are going to argue, at least research the schedules. You played us week 1 for many years 2005-2014 to be exact. You did go to Kentucky for week 0 a few years ago, but good ole MC was your week 1 game until they beat you once and Creasy saw what was coming the next two years and dropped us in favor of Westmoreland. I would agree on paper TC should be the favorite this year. We do play week 6, so by that point in the season injuries could come into play.

lol I'm not new to this I'm been on here since 2003 just different name like I said some of those were region games out of 9 games you'll win twice but Creasy was scared to play a team that TC had a 7-2 record against okay lol I'm sure they will come in to play but TC are very deep at Skilled positions this coming up season and the 9th grades will just add to that I know MC knows all about how good TC has been in junior high for past few years not just on paper but the field also TC will show that it's by far the better team at every part of the game

Actually none of the games between 2005 and 2014 were region games. They were all non region matchups. MC and TC played week 1 for 10 straight seasons, but in 2015 it changed. What caused this change? We both played non region games week 1 in 2015, so the week was open for both. Macon had to travel three hours to play a 6A team from Kentucky who was coming off a 6A state championship appearance, so I don't think that was their preferred game. I agree TC should never dodge MC, but anybody that looks at this honestly knows Creasy and TC dodged MC. We beat you with a bunch of freshmen and sophomores in 2014, so all of a sudden week 1 got filled up with someone else. I admire your commitment, but you know what really happened. I guess if you say it enough maybe it will become true. LOL! I know how you feel, I would be embarrassed too if I was in your shoes.

i don't know why MC was replaced only person that knows is Creasy and he signs two year deal with a different team I don't think it was because he was scared to play MC that last year MC beat TC that was a down year and we didn't have a good season that year if it was up to be TC would play Smith and Macon co every year it's a lot of money and short travel time for all 3 teams trust me I rather play Smith instead of Whitwell and make that 2 hour and 15 min drive but TC always have to travel hours away and out state lot over past 20 years that's normal for TC

2003,2006 was when Macon and TC were in same region at the same time that's up to the coaches to schedule the games I think we should play every year Smith, Macon, TC and Westmoreland should be on each other schedule every year and in 2003 you'll didn't beat TC. That would have been TT Harper senior year for the talent coming through Macon co I don't think TC coachs are scared to play Macon co any year no matter how much talent MC has nobody hiding from Macon

Thegame2, sorry to correct you but 2003 we were beat by a much better MC team that went to the Semi's. Probably one of the best teams to play in MC. TT's final season was in 2002. He is a graduate of '03. those Tigers in '03 were pretty tough. By TC standards, we had a off year going 7-4 i think and falling at Grundy in R1 i believe.

i graduated with TT we graduated we are class of 2003 I was using that as the year not the season of 03 so that's on me I was using the graduation year and not he season year and yea that was a down year after losing a Mr football and one of best players that ever played in TC of course it would be a down year

By far the best Macon County team I've ever seen play. I was dating a girl from Smith County at the time and got see them play 3 times that year (TC once and Smith County twice). The best I can remember they only lost 1 game that year and got to the 4th round of the playoffs.

 

They had a running back I know his last name was Dallas that was one of the top rushers in the state that year.

Michael Dallas, whose little brother Chase was a Jacket, graduated in '06. I believe your probably thinking of Adam Patterson. Both excellent players! Looked back at scores earlier and MC that year went 12-2 with losses to Portland in week 2 and Knoxville Fulton in the Semi's. They had an awesome kicker as well that booted a 50 something yarder (maybe in both SC games but i know in the quarter final game) to win as time expired. Interesting thing about the MC/SC games that year and the few before it, Coach Pat Dyer (RIP Coach) was HC at MC and his son Matt was a 2 way starter for SC. Im sure on those game weeks it was a little awkward around the Dyer home.

I don't think in 2003 that MC was that much better than TC. I believe the score was only 21-7. TC was playing a ton of talented inexperienced weak sophomores while MC was playing a boat load of strong experienced seniors. MC had a the ball bounce their way a lot that season. They were fun to follow in the playoffs that year. MC had a bunch of good kids that year.

Their RB that year was actually Hudson. FB was Law. Dallas was only a sophomore that year and was a backup.

Actually our top rusher was Josh Hudson, who was also Region MVP. We kicked one field goal to beat Smith. The regular season matchup was a two score game. The 03 team and last years team are definitely the best two we have had in the last 35 years. The offense from past years team versus the defense of 03 would have been fun to watch.

    • 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.
