(I was pulling for you all after round 3) We will see next year who is the most talented and better coached team. Don't forget that Greeneville Returns 9 starters on O and 10 starters on D from a team that was 2 min away from beating Betsy at Betsy in round three.

That’s a VERY broad brush you’re painting this picture with. Is EHS having success and win ball games? Yes. Are they world beaters and can win in every division? No. So before anyone’s says anything, yes I am Betsy faithful. Hold seasons tickets and have for years so not a “Johnny come lately” bandwagon fan. Greeneville is slightly down but not out. Not by a long shot. They will be much better and more seasoned come year. Three-peat is hard to do period. 4A will be much different next year with the new alignments. So yea, enjoy your wins Beaty cause you worked and earned it. But make no mistake, it was teams like Greeneville, Alcoa, etc. that made them work to get better to even be winning two state championships. Good luck going forward to all these young student athletes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They NEVER gave up. You know what i did see? Great sportsmanship. It was so awesome to see, both teams really, helping each other up, acknowledging good plays, and just having a mutual respect for each other. Coach Chris is doing a great job with these young men. And after the horrific situations with Covid they have been through, it hurt me to see them hurting. Please let them know, Cyclone Nation will be praying for them and their families and they have our respect and brotherly love. It’s always a pleasure playing against great kids, from great communities, because of great coaches and families. Respect....... That is the BIGGEST compliment that our guys could give!! It would have be so easy to give up after going down 21-0 but they kept fighting. It was a tremendous opportunity for our community to be there this year after all that we have had to endure. One of the kids #44 that came out to pick up the trophy, lost his mother to Covid this year. One game, he and his brother who is one of our coaches, had to leave in the middle of the game because their mom was slipping away. That is just one of many stories of what our kids have endured this year! Hats off to Elizabethton, they gave it to us on the field but showed tremendous sportsmanship throughout and after the game! That's what it's all about to me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Jr QB will be back along with half his OL and both Sophomore RB. Rollins beat Greeneville with half his ham string tied behind his back.
