Agree. I would guess that first half will be loud. Expect to see that young group play entire second half. Be a good game for that offense to shine. Figure another good showing with the D. 

If our young group gets significant playing time, y’all need to keep your eyes on #2.  He is and will be even more of a special players as the years go by.  He is a freshman.

Just to name a few old poster's I haven't seen  on coacht from SP in awhile. If you can, name some more. HarleyRider, Traintracks, 46on2, come to my mind so far. 

Harley’s boy graduated and I think his girl either did also, or she graduated this year I can’t remember.

Ion sure piratepridechamp will show back up soon.

Wonder where there all at? I see ZP every now and then, but since his boy graduated he's been MIA! on here. Glad you thought of all those. If I quit posting on here you can say Ole Sportman has left the building like Elvis did. 

Speaking of Elvis, where’s that guy been lately?

You remember where the old bathrooms use to be? 

Yep I remember.  Most of the time I would just squeeze behind he bleachers on the opposite end and use it there, lol.  You know, right next to the infamous “King of the Hill” hill that was dug out for the concession.  Between the concession and the handicap ramp up to the stadium.  I’d like to see pictures of that hill with all of us kids playing on it.  If anyone has one, send it or as many as you want to my Facebook, or cell if you got that.  Thanks in advance

Another one to watch if the young guns get out there is #29. He’s more than ready to get out on the field. I honestly think most of our young men will impress. 

I remember that hill as well. There was always a bunch of us young kids playing on it back then ! That was back when if you were gonna be dumb you had better be tough...lol

I remember the hill well from many years gone by.  This was back when Mr Shadrick ran a proficient concession stand where the bathrooms are now. You had better know what you wanted when it was your turn to order.  He didn't dilly dally around. He'd sent your little tail to the end of the line. 

A friend of mine from school stuttered and would wind up at the end of the line quite often.  From then on out he got smart and seen me in line and say  S-S-Southtowner get m-me a b-b-bag of p-p-popcorn and I'll bbbuy you a c-c-coke.

On that hill playing king of the hill and cup ball at the bottom of it is the first time I heard horse from the band and fell in love with the Pirates. Didn't know what the song was but figured out that we did something good Everytime it played.

Man I loved hearing the Horse play. I remember hearing back in the early 80’s as well. It still raises the hairs on my arms when I hear the band play it.

Once it's in you you're hooked. I remember finally asking Nathan byrum the name of the song. Kind of laughed when I heard it. It used to play years ago before swap and shop on the radio

King of the hill, cup ball, Horse, bathrooms under the bleachers. Man, there are some memories going on in this thread.  I remember dirty britches and holes in my knees from sliding / being thrown down the hill.  The kids playing in the end zones today have no clue what they have missed out on.

Sounds like we may have been on that hill at the same time

    • 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.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.
