Greeneville gets put into the Knoxville and Tri-Cities TV markets. Hey, Batman-DB Devil. We've come full circle on where the Tri-Cities start and "Knoxville area" ends. I always said the vortex was between Mo-Town and Greeneville. Now the Knoxville media is pushing on up I-81.

I agree they do. The Rivalry Thursday goes don’t seem to like them tho.

Yes Greene county is in NET,and I don't care how they try to move it around. I know  that NET poll I seen,Cherokee was in the top 10 and Greeneville was not.If Cherokee starts winning state titles,Hawkins county will probably be kicked out of NET as well.Some new maps show it two waysImage result for Counties North East TennesseeImage result for Counties North East Tennessee

I remember your maps well.

That’s just Fritz being a homer for Elizabethon. He’s not very bright.

Seems like DB has always had trouble with a playoff system regardless of the Decade. Thank goodness for unofficial mythical titles.

Doug Fritz, of the  JC press is a tremendous Betsy homer. The sports page looks like it should be called the Elizabethton Press. I believe Fritz has pushed the Devils west.

I would be more upset If I was a current Topper in a city of 70,000 (newspaper potential sales) always having less or equal print than a neighboring town of 15,000.

Knoxville media adopted Greeneville when they started winning state championships, so they could say "Knoxville area teams win 3A, 4A, 5A, and 6A state championships."  In contrast, Johnson City Press and their sport editor (who has the least amount of football knowledge of any sports writer i have ever seen) decided that Greeneville wasn't considered in Northeast Tennessee, i guess because it made Science Hill, DB and Elizabethton look bad if they couldn't get to Cookeville and Greeneville was winning gold balls.

    • I have no issues with the Karns Middle School program.   Good coaches and he's with the kids he goes to school with.  He's a rising 6th grader who had to play with 6th grade kids last year because Karns didn't have enough kids for a 5th grade age team.  He's in a good place at this point.   My daughter is a single mom with 4 kids under 11 years old.  We help her out with logistics, so staying in our own area right now is important.  Once he gets to high school age, who knows what happens?  That bridge will be crossed when we get there.  
    • I know he was a backup but I thought he filled in well when the starter went down. Never a bad thing to have a change of pace back 
    • That would be a good get for them. Lowe always finds a way. Pretty sure they have their Rb from last year returning but not that line of beef
    • One school has said it, it was York…who Oneida and many school that played them before we did claimed that they were the dirtiest bunch they’ve played. Riverside didn’t call us dirty nor did smith after they beat us. Ur only dirty if your the one giving out the whoopins.
    • If it was anyone but #8 I would agree with you. Theirs a couple people on that team that probably would. Not him. And I who was standing on the 1st base line fence saw clearly that the boys foot was covering more than half the bag.
