We are playing basketball now.  But A-E thinks they can beat alcoa that means we can too because we should have won that game.  I think gap is closing between region 1 and region 2.  Should be quite a season next year for jc as well with alot of the team returning.

Good luck with basketball season. Alcoa should be pretty good next year as well. Not sure about the gap closing. I think if JC was in Region 2 this year, they might have been a 4th place team, maybe 3rd. However, I would have taken Kingston over JC. So, I’ll go with 4th. That’s pretty good tho!!

West greene had about 12 kids out in that game with kingston.  Pretty much jv team.  Ae beat most of those teams by 30 and so did alcoa.  Jc probably finishes 3rd.  Alcoa still has the best team and should win rematch.  Ae probably a year away, not enough seniors.  Good team tho

Well I've been reading the post following  the JC and AE game, it amazes me how people try and compare region 1 and region 2. We have what 3 feeder schools into 1 middle school for 1 High School what is there to compare? AE may be in the same classification as JC, but seriously has an advantage as far as talent pools. So that region should be better year in and out, but everything in small communities runs in cycles. Stop compairing regions until you fully understand what your talking about. Where was this talk the last 13 years when Hampton and Cloudland was spanking region 2 consistantly. I believe this is the first year in a lllooonnnggg time Hampton hasn't made the quarterfinals. Get ready for the new cycle out of region 1 and its called The Longhorn Nation!!!

Tell me about this Cloudland team that spanked region 2???What year?Maybe 15 years ago??GB hasnt lost to them nor has Coalbucket.

Hampton in 05,06,07 and 15 we're pretty good Cloudland only beat Midway in 05 and 2012 and then last year they beat Harriman that's the only region 2 teams they can say they've beaten in the past 14 years.

And unless horn1 has got him a set of braces that would be the only Gap that would be closing,as far as region 1 and 2 is concerned NOT!

Can't speak for hampton or clouland or hv. But jc will return.  Clouland should be pretty darn good next year,  they have a young team that is well coached.  Playoff experience killed jc this year.  Jc coaches and players will learn from their mistakes.  I agree region 2 does play on a higher level with very good athletes but jc with tough hard nose mtn boys will adjust and soon over take.  Go horns

    • 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.
