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. 

Dont bang on us,You may have hard feelings about us but dad saw something at Maryville HE didnt like and made the move.Didnt have ONE thing to do with us.We are glad to have him for sure but whatever he didnt like there put him here.Maryville has gotten more transfers thru the years than we have and Alcoa for that matter.He was just stating something most EVERYONE thinks whether its true or not.You talk to anyone outside your program and they THINK the same way.You all have a great program and Hammontree had alot to do with that.We also have a great program TWO different levels but both great programs and kids will come to keep from going to stagnant programs.

Who is banging on “us”. Just pointing out the hypocrisy in any Greenback supporter commenting on transfers. Same goes for you......don’t tell us what you “think” when it can be proved. Tell us what you know with examples......and make sure you don’t live in a glass house. Oh......this has nothing to do with anything regarding your QB. I was just pointing out that he is a Heritage kid.....even when he was at Maryville.

But the point is he was a Heritage kid at Maryville.Thats what the point BH was making.Someone ask where are these Heritage kids???Maryville and Alcoa have their better players is that not correct.We have mostly WB kids who left a terrible program up the road.But you jumped straight on him.You did have a Heritage zoned kid on the team as does Alcoa was he not correct in what he said??He didnt say one word about trasfers.You made his post into something it wasnt.

There are a number of reasons for the state of Heritage football. 
 

1. Lack of resources and support at the county level 

2. Subpar coaching 

3. Drop in student enrollment and subsequent rise in city schools. (Not just athletes but all students) 

4. Athletes choosing to focus on one sport. 
 

5. Kids deciding they have better things to do than play football or any sport for that matter. Numbers are down across the country, so it’s going to have the biggest impact on programs that are down. 
 

6. Again back to coaching because the coaches are unable to overcome these issues.

All of these are are all right but my close sources tell me your number 4. is more like coaches playing tug of war for players and planting the seed in their heads to go with the sport they coach. Bad situation considering who the main culprit is doing this.

Hammontree has been there for a few years. The football program has gotten worse every year. I don’t see it getting better in the near future unless drastic changes are made and I don’t see Blount county doing that. The Heritage football program looks to be DOA. 

There are a lot of schools in Tennessee going through the same issues and clearly shows enrollment isn't totally the fair solution. If we keep going down this road we're going to see a lot of schools just fold the football programs. The sad thing about Heritage or WB is if they get another coach they usually go from bad to worse.

I don’t know anything about tug of war. I just know reports across the country say the same thing. Plus when I attend heritage football, basketball, and baseball games I rarely hear the same names being announced.

    • This late in the year, you’d have to think they’d go with an Asst. on staff, right? I’m pretty new to the area so still learning how folks do things around here…if Woods stays there to teach, it could be hard on a new guy/staff coming in…
    • Well, your Big Western Hunt better turn up some Zebras to come graze on the Stones to make the jungle gametime ready again and make sure the plumber bros. still will come service the facilities at the Mecca. I hope your weekend is Fowl. Tell Rip hello from the Five Oh. Maybe the Gravedigger will catch a ride with Alphaniner on a flyover soon to BNA. 
    • It’s not hearsay, just patently false. As one of those young coaches he apparently “ran off”, coach never once ridiculed or degraded anyone. Sure he challenged kids and coached them very hard,  but we have different definitions of you call that degrading. Coach Hammontree changed my life when he gave me the chance to work for him. I learned more about being a man and caring for the people around me in 4 years working for him than I did in 20 years of my life. No one sacrificed more than he did. I left Heritage because I felt there would never be the support necessary to help the program succeed. I’m tired of hearing people drag others down especially those they truly don’t know. Coach has moved on and a new coach is there. Just let the man live and root for the team. 
    • Waiting on the Great One.   White Horse and Rip have a big weekend in the woods, and the Sheriff is working the overtime here.      Turkey season awaits…..Big Gobblers everywhere.
