Old Pirate says the Pirate offense was simply terrible the first half, holding, fumble, holding, fumble, holding, fumble, holding then throw in busted plays! Obvious some did not know the play called with the Captain having to call time outs. The Indians were not able to get much yardage but capitalized on Pirate errors. A better team would have buried the Pirates in the 1st 2 quarters. Old Pittsburg says The Captain seems to have too many tools in the tool shed. There will be growing pains yet to come until the proper tools are identified. OP was impressed with the power straight at you attack in the 2nd half. Congrats to the Pirates fer finding enough gunpowder to get the “W”

Tough start for SC even with some out for SP. Several new OL, 3/4 running backs getting first real playing time, QB in his first start, sophomore saw just end of game time last year. Offense will improve as it goes on, defense shouldn’t be on the field as much as it was in the second half. Hosting Jasper next week. 

Old Pirate thought the Indians showed toughness and showed sportsmanship. Respect earned, hope the players realize it.

Well, we definitely missed 2 of our 3 best players in the first half. We came out dead and flat. Nothing went right.

 

second half we played good ball.

highlights: Miles Walters kicking off and making teams start inside the 20 is huge. 

JJ Beene and Brydon Mabry has a good game at lb 

This in and of itself is what changed the momentum and tempo of the game.  Making Sequatchie start inside their 15 twice and at the 20 on 3 consecutive kickoffs was huge. We flipped the field on them, got a turnover, cut out the penalties and hung on to the ball.

I hope this gets back to Sequatchie players and coaches.  SC’s first half style offense has always given the Pirates fits no matter what team runs it.  They got away from their game at times with trying to pass when simply they could have ran it every play.  On defense, they are tough, real tough.  I’m not sure what grade their LB’s #53 and #4 are but they played lights out.  #53 needs to be recognized.  He terrorized us all night.  #10 had a great game in the secondary too.  One thing the Pirates had over SC in my opinion was conditioning.  Other than a couple cramps, SP never ever leaned over or put their hands on their hips.  However the entire SC team started it in the 3rd quarter.  To be that’s a big takeaway.  

Keep your heads up SC and you will definitely be playing in November.

The deep kicks as well as the two hits at the 15 on his kicks that got everyone fired up help to change the course of the game. His "short" kick went to the 17 which was normally a deep kick for us.

Sailor man if that man down there in the orange shirt had put more air in Griders balls it would have went past the 17 yard line.  Grider needs to have a pump out there to pump his balls up on the sideline.  You think im joking but im not.

    • 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.
