Funny how all these Powell fans, amongst others, called me out saying I didn’t know what I was talking about. Who wants Crow for dinner, I’m serving it up all evening!

You are going to be really disappointed.  This is a he said he said thing.  There's no burger on the bun.  

Read Jesse's updated story.  This is an attempt at distraction.  

As I have said before, everybody in Knox County needs to be really careful.  Every one of the programs live in a glass house.

Perfect Example of Powell, Its Look at ME "SHOW"! This picture is all anyone needs to see and understand about what kind of Culture is at Powell HS... Its not about the kids its about Backwards Visors and Records. 

Going Back to my prediction

Rhea County 31

Powell 21 

Ill hang up and listen 

 

Easy now.  Don’t speak on the culture of Powell High School as a whole. Say what you want about the football culture, but the people in that school do care about those kids. That’s a fact

Perhaps not you, but many others and yes HTV was the main one. I knew this was coming long ago. I watched Matt Lowe recruit kids myself after 7 v 7 games back during the spring at AC. These accusations are 100 percent accurate.  

I'm not disagreeing. I'm not close to the program like I was a decade or so ago, but if he's blatantly breaking the rules, then I hope that justice is served. All I can say is that knowing what some of us know about the current state of football in Knox County, I have a very hard time believing that this is solely a Powell problem. I'll even sign my name to that.

That being said, I don't wear orange and black glasses in situations like this. If rules were broken, so be it.

I've known Matt for a long time, and he cares about those kids. I don't question that at all. He's a tremendous coach and a genuinely good guy. Opposing fans may not like his style, but he shouldn't have to apologize for that.

However, if he broke the rules, justice should be served. I'm a Powell alum, but I would never let my fandom cloud my judgment.

Therefore you know that Rules may have been BROKEN or are Being? 

We all know Coach Lowe connection to downtown and how they get players to Powell.

I agree everyone recruits across the state. If your not recruiting then your gonna fall behind, but lease wait til the season is over, not after the game.... That is Class-less act IMO.  What do the Wise men say.

    • 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.
