Ridge and Hicks had some very good teams too.2012 was loaded and coaching killed us,we underachieved every year with them.Coaching is solid right now!!

Congrats to the 2017 Kees! This team has been winning championships since they were 7 year olds. If Greg had been coaching 2012 they would've at least been playing Gordonsville in the semis.

We almost beat a loaded Gordonsville team in 2012. They were monsters that season. We lost 14-13 in the second round then they went on and won it all.

Good job Kees.

As anyone who's been on these boards all year knows I thought there was no way the east was winning this year. You guys went out and shut me up. Happy for you guys. I bet most out east are happy for you too. Feels kinda the way it did in 09 when UC beat SP. Even though most ppl didn't give a dang about UC out here,  we were just glad they broke the streak of losses. 

 

Enjoy it! Nobody can take it from you!

I'm not taking nothing away from Greg but he did come in at a very good time as for as having the talent!! 

Believe me when I tell you the direction the team was going prior to Greg and Kill was not a good one. Greenback has always had plenty of talent and even more toughness but not this level of coaching. In my NSHO starting in 2008 there were teams capable of not only getting to Cookeville but being competitive there too. But we never made it. 3 years ago GB was far from a plug and play team that just anybody could coach. The big guy letting it all hang out in the TV interview is the reason why GB has now joined fellow east TN schools a few miles north ( M-ville and Alcoa) in not only believing they can play for a title every year, but expecting to, then play accordingly .

    • No reasonable lawyer would take up this case. I am not a lawyer, but I know school law in and out.  Similar situations just like this play out thousands of times each year across the country, even at the college level (i.e. Ole Miss)  The Plaintiff's never win...ever.  If I am wrong, please provide a legal precedent for me. I will be waiting.  https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39431892/judge-drops-ole-miss-player-lawsuit-lane-kiffin  
    • Yes Justin Cruse was named head coach
    • It used to be, I think it still is, a change of 20% +/- gives reason to reclassify. Schools can choose to play up classifications but not down. Here is the mid cycle reclassification info on TSSAA.org When Memphis East changed from a regular public school to an "all-optional" school in 2017 the would've dropped to A but chose to stay in AAA in basketball (baseball, and softball) Penny was still coaching there and with the players they had they would've beaten A teams by 40 and slept walked to the championship. Other Memphis schools stayed in their classifications (mostly in basketball) until the next reclassification cycle. Of course this is the same time that a 4th class was added basketball.
