Heritage high school

How in the world has heritage lost another game? I can't understand is it the coaches or the team or a combination of both. This is getting ridiculous they haven't won a Friday night game since September 15 or 2017 WTF!!!!!!!! Can anybody help explain what's going on in the foothills of blount co. I thought coach hammondtree was supposed to be one of the better coaches in the area definitely not showing up it the wins & loss column.

All of their good players are at Maryville or Alcoa.

Maybe the 2 County schools in Blount County can get together and do one of those co-op things.  

Just a thought.

That's sounds all well & good but why can't we coach what the kids we have there has to be at least some how to win or even have a close game they aren't playing 10 powerhouse teams like maryville or alcoa all year long only close game was home opener & after that it has been a free fall not just down hill but a free fall

LOL at a Greenback fan responding to the post. Other than the Jett kid who are the other former Heritage kids that are playing at Maryville? Serious question because I don't know.

Lol I have no clue to be honest. That's the only explanation that I can come up with. I remember back in the 80s when I played for Southside, Townsend, Walland and Porter were always very good. Half those kids wound up at Maryville just assumed it was still the same way.

It's the most convenient excuse since it has been past down from one generation to the other. The biggest thing in regards to Maryville are a lot of former players from Heritage have had kids that have played for Maryville over the years. Alcoa for the most part with tuition a third of what Maryville's has more Heritage kids but who can blame them. There are a million reasons why Heritage isn't any good in football but the biggest one is a lot of the boy's going there are working to support the car they drive and football plays second to that. Sad as it may be if you moved Heritage all the way down to 1A they would still turn in a losing record.

I think the biggest thing was Blount County School system shutting down Eagleton Middle School Football in the late 80s.  Heritage never recovered.  Back in the 80s Heritage was very competitive.  Back in the 80s I saw a lot of those big farm boys on the field. My senior year alone they had Wes Moore,Phil McGill and the late Tim Deacons.  All those guys were 280lbs or more.  They were monsters.

REBELRON your 100% right about the Eagleton mess. That was Heritage's feeder program and it was either not play football for two years or pay and go to Alcoa Middle and the trail was cut from that poor decision on the County's behalf.  I used to live behind the football field at Eagleton and it was a hard look across the fence my house bordered not seeing football for many years. When they decided to play again the damage was done and Heritage has payed for it dearly ever since.

Hammontree is a pretty tough , no nonsense coach ... my way or the highway ... may take a while to change some attitudes . Not trying to hurt any feelings but kids growing up hearing about mean old Alcoa and Maryville doesn't help the team build a tough , no excuses attitude !

So you just trot that out there with zero proof? Gotcha! You do realize that your starting QB is a Heritage kid? How ironic your comment is with all the transfers that Greenback has.
