Tell him that those Devils are going to be hard to beat and hope he gets better soon.

Both these teams have handed my Springfield boys there hats a couple of times, but I’ve nothing but respect for the passionate fans on both sides. It’s good to know their are others like some of us Jacket fans out there. That being said, there’s no truer fan that loves his team more than BVD. Tell him the Springfield fans wish him nothing but the best. Get well soon BVD!!

The series started in 1924, the first two games between the two saw Greeneville win by a combined score of 89-0. The 1926 season saw one of two ties in the history of the series. Elizabethton got their first win over Greenville in the 1927 season, 19-0. Elizabethton would take the next 9 straight games in the series before it ended until 1953.

Now that's the kind of historical breakdown every game thread on here needs. Nearly a hundred years ago they got this rivalry going.

Just to add a little to the History Betsy holds a 42-33-2 record vs the Devils and 5-3 in the Play Offs.  Betsy and Greeneville played every years since 1924 (Except during WW2) until Betsy dropped Greeneville in 2007

Being a 12 month Administrator, I was always the acting AD basically in July. We had not received the contract for the home game from Betsy. I made the call and the AD said we weren’t playing. First we had heard about the cancelling of our game. I wondered when they would have contacted us. It was very  un Elizabethton like. We hustled and found you all a game in Kentucky.

Both sides worked hard not to make this mishap a stumbling block for our schools, and other activities and sports.

We were replaced by Happy Valley and we added Mercer County Kentucky.
