Not sure on the total number of players this year (i'm sure its around 40 give or take a few) but i do know that 18-19 of them are freshman and these kids are ballers. And then a nice size group of 7th & 8th graders following behind them... The next few yrs should be fun watching these boys grow and become football players.

I hope they have at least one down year so we can make a run again. They have owned the East in 1A for 5 years. lol

Lol I hear ya. I do believe this maybe our down year, i hope not but we are definitely young. I've been following SP on twitter and the workouts, player updates, etc. you boys got some dang studs... imo you are the #1 in the east and i also hope we continue to meet and play that Friday after Thanksgiving.

The upcoming  freshman class on paper is better then the Greenback team that won a state championship several years back that had Bryce Handly. They have won 3 super bowls, a Blount County Championship, that had Alcoa and Maryville in it, and also a national championship  through the battle of Rocky top  tournament!!!!!  This class will make a statement guaranteed if they play too their potential.

Always sad to lose anyone but when we can relate to them through such a loved sport like football, well, it hits even harder

A few years ago I remember Rivalry Thursday and Mark Packer was broadcasting the Greenback vs Coalfield game at Greenback.  Mark Packer interviewed Shawn Muncey about the tradition of watching game in back of pickup truck. It was also Breast Cancer Awareness day.  Shawn Muncey had his hair and beard dyed pink. Me and my coworkers had a good laugh about that.

It was his truck they broadcasted in if I'm not mistaken,and yes ole Shawn was all pink.Back when we played together he and Snail (his partner in crime lol) would play jokes on anyone they could.We all were like brothers even us younger guys.Going to miss him for sure!!

We lost another great man, Saturday morning... Teacher/AD/Admin/COACH Jerry Masingo lost his battle with cancer. He'd been at Greenback 52 years b4 he retired... Rest Easy Coach! 

Friday nights at Cooper Field wont be the same without Shawn and Jerry! 

But the 1st day of full pads is finally here, think i'll go over and watch the boys practice in a little bit.

    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
    • I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
