Class 1a state championship game Greenback against Cornersville

[hollowman]

Congrats to GB on being crowned the new 1A Champ.   To the Cornersville folks, you have nothing to be ashamed of.  You certainly earned the trip to Cookeville.  GB was clearly the much better team.

The better team won, but not by the blowout margin that many in here laughably predicted. See you next year.

Come on man. Great season for your kids.  Most of us said 4-5 TD margin. It was 4 touchdowns and Greenback just ran the ball up the middle the last several drives. They are a scary offensive team with a lot of weapons.

Well deserved. It could have easily been 24 as well. Now we wait for this Alcoa machine.

Greenback went against Alcoa at our local Jamboree that was at MHS this year. It was fun to watch.

Yes, I know. I was there. That's why I kept ranking Coalfield and Greenback slightly ahead of SP this year. I knew how they battled against Alcoa in the jamboree they were a force once again.
