Based off of what I’ve seen from both teams, I think Cornersville has the edge. They are both very talented, but when I watch both of these teams I can’t help but notice just how physical Cornersville is. They hit hard, and they don’t quit. Whitaker runs downhill but is shifty and he’ll be hard to stop. And he isn’t the only threat Cornersville has which makes it even scarier. Whitwell has their own great talent as well, but I think all around Cornersville is better. In fact based off of what I’ve seen recently I think Cornersville could be the best team in 1A/2A combined. Their defense is second to none and they are extremely well conditioned. They now have the experience of playing in cookeville last year and by all means look a lot better this year than they did then. It’s been really interesting seeing both these teams improve so much over the past few years, but I’m gonna give the edge to Cornersville. 

Im predicting:

Cornersvile 28

Whitwell 17

Best team in 1A/2A will be the Whitwell Tigers after they win 1A and TC wins 2A.

Whitwell is physical as well as having speed. C-ville better get ready to be hit for 4 qtrs as well cause they may get hit harder than they’ve all year. 

Cville won't be hit any harder than they've been hit all year, they've been hit hard. Huntingdon and WC hit them and figured out quick that they take it and hit back! I've been watching tough physical football in southern middle tn my whole life and this Cville bunch ranks right at the top in toughness. There's one thing that Wayne County could always count on when playing Cville, even when they weren't very good, is that they would be tough, and I know they'll say the same about WC. That's why there's so much respect being shown from all these schools surrounding this Cville bunch, GO DAWGS!

Interesting that Whitwell will have a Mr. Football Semi-Finalist, Hudson Petty, playing against a Mr. Football Finalist, Cameron Whitaker. Petty will be looking to prove something on the field.

On that same note, two of the Mr. Football finalist are out of the playoffs leaving only Cornersville's  Whitaker. Would be interesting if Greenback's Bryce Hanley gets it as some have alluded to earlier as hands down. 

Petty has nothing to prove. He stepped up Friday when our QB got hurt and did a job that was unbelievable. His leadership is impeccable. We know he’s great and don’t need some award to tell us otherwise. If anything needs proven it’s Petty showed up Hanley Friday Night.

People on this website are really letting these silly posters shape their opinion on our schedule. If you are under the assumption that we didn’t play anybody, please take a gander at our schedule and see how those teams fared. We’ve blanked some very good ball clubs. Whitwell has a very impressive resume with 2X SP wins and a win at The Creekbank, but I’d put the win at Huntingdon against all 3. When you look at who Huntingdon beat and how, and you factor in the “never lost a game at The Magic Carpet” fact, it’s as stout as any win in the 1 and 2 A.

The win at Huntingdon trumps all other wins for both teams

And won a game 4 hours away in a cold mud bowl! Cookeville and 55 degrees will have us playing in sandals and Panama Jack t shirts. As the kids says now.... “We want all the smoke.”

    • 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. 
    • I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
