AC or Greeneville

if every team on greenevilles schedule is a cupcake, then those 10 games the heifers have schedules are the batter that the cupcakes are made out of. To be honest, both play weak conf schedules with the exception of Betsy on greenevilles, but atleast greeneville TRIES to schedule some non conf. beef...

and all this babble over who's better between martin or ballard is getting redundant. They're both incredible young men and great qbs. I personally would take ballard over any....ANY other qb in this state.

Im just happy to see this thread is doing what i intended it to do....good job boys....keep punching....oh and i too think greeneville will see betsy in round three...but i also thought that last year

I agree with you BVDevil.  As a former Greene Devil football player (when Ballard was the O coordinator),  A high school football coach( that help take a team from one win to the Quarter finals in the 5a play-offs and 2nd in a conference that consisted of Maryville, Farragut, Bearden, Knox Catholic, William Blount, and Heritage), and someone who has seen both AC and Greeneville play multiple times in the last years since i live in Knoxville both are great teams and top 5 teams in the state the past 2 years. Both have really good offenses with great QB's who lead both teams.  Both Conference schedules are weak except for Betsy (Who is also a top 5 team in 4a the last 2 years) , but I see Greeneville at least testing themselves with an out of conference schedule. (I bet DB, Science Hill, Morristown West, and Pisgah all win more games than William Blount AC's toughest out of conference game).  These Greeneville Seniors have ate and breathed football playing together since pee-wee league (Cade was our ball boy when I played, Taught cade and shuffler at speed camps, Kershaw and Hite played in the flag football league I ran.) Watching both teams play to their capability its a Greeneville Win.  Greeneville has a more Balanced team and more Athletes at different positions. (Not saying AC doesn't have athletes but very few teams in the state have 4 D1 commits with others that hold D1 offers and more than likely 6 -7 more d1 signings at RB, CB, OL, 2 DE, DT, and LB not to mention a 2 time State Wrestling Champion as a Guard).

Hope we see the Cows in the play-offs but Betsy will have the final say so in that!

i honestly hope we DO get a chance to go to clinton and mop the floor with AC this year because i know how good ac CAN be, once martin is completely healthy again. I personally dont agree with him being out there right now, but im not his coach, dad or doctor and i bet you if left up to martin, he wants to be out there because he's a great competitor and a great kid. i think it sucks that his HS career has been marred by injuries but that's part of this sport. And i will say this...martin in last years game was better than 99 percent of other HS qb's at thier best and he was playing injured, but i dont think it made a difference inthe outcome because as ive said before, he was still slingin it all over the field and if he had had a defense helping him  out as much as the refs did ( on the first play), then we might very well be talking about " can the devils get revenge" this  year....i'll tell you this too....every single one of our kids hopes and prays we get to see AC again down there this year because they're all sick of hearing about  how they got down 21-0....they want to show that THEY should have been up 21-0...and had that been the case, i seriously doubt AC would have been able to over come that at burley......bottom line though is not a word i just said  amounts to a hill of mr football awards....it will all have to be played out over the next 13 or so weeks.

You make...a little sense....but BVD I would have to overwhelm disagree that Greeneville would have won without the injury. Martin lives on the run/pass. He reminds me so much of Russell Wilson here with Seahawks. Not saying he's as great (DevilMan) did not say that. But Russell moves long enough that his receiver's get open and if not by that time he is down field. And that's what would have finished Greeneville in dramatic fashion. But it did not happen for that reason. It really is hard to say which QB should have won; I use stats DevilMan uses opinion. I will bring the mop and BVD you and your best friend bring the bucket and the Mavs will get to cleaning up what they did not finish last year. You keep Betsy in Upper north east Tennessee or otherwise we will be playing Elizabethton at Rocky Top. Otherwise you make fairly better sense than DevilMan but that is not saying too much. LOL ....I do agree I would rather not have Martin playing as much at this point but apparently the Mavs know something we don't. ;)

Quarterback: The leader of the team. He calls the plays in the huddle, yells the signals at the line of scrimmage, and receives the ball from the center. Then he hands off the ball to a running back, throws it to a receiver, or runs with it.

A healthy QB leader of the team is the overall most important position on the team. He is like the brain for the soul. If you brain is not healthy (thinking clearly) then this will effect the whole body. Likewise an injury to a QB can change the course of a game quicker then any other position.

It's ok to quote this summarization. LOL :)

  Cade Ballard is as good as advertised, Martin plays in a weak region without the needed tools to surpass Cade for the Mr Football award. Cade already has two wins over 6A schools that are normally better than their records this year. Lots of football yet to be played, but none the less, Cade Ballard should without a doubt win again hands down this year. With  his command of a great football team, he has mastered the QB position,. and continues to impose his will on lesser talent. Betsy and the Toppers have nothing to counter the Devil attack, and no real way to score what will be needed to challenge the Devils. The State Championship awaits.

The voters also know what he did against you all in the playoffs on one leg...lol Both are great but DB and MW are pretty bad teams this year. So we will need to let the season play out.

If we are talking schedules, so far:

I would say that DB would beat both Knox Carter and William Blount pretty easily.

I would also take West over Carter anyday. West vs. Blount might be a good game this year, but I'd still put my money on West.

    • Pirates can make a run at the dance for sure.
    • 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.
