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.

Yep against Mercer County who had just won the 2a state championship the previous year going 15-0 and Consolidated with Harrodsburg High School moving them to 5a when we played.  We lost that game 14-9 on a last sec TD that I tipped.  Betsy didn't want that game against Greeneville that year and went 4-6 and were beaten by two teams (Sullivan East (20-14) & Sullivan South (56-14) ) which Greeneville had wins over that Year (Sullivan East 49-12, and SS 24-21)

 

  I can say this I never lost to the Cyclones when I played

Marty was a great Athlete and a fine young man. His hands were almost 2 big. Caught the ball over the shoulder and away from him better than facing it. A bad eye as well.

We went through some rough times there for a while and they didn’t want no part of the devils.

This should be a dandy of a Game as we all know. I will give my opinion of position breakdown's instead of a game prediction.QB. Elizabethtown

Wr. Greeneville

Running backs Greeneville 

Oline push.

Dline elizabethton 

Linebackers Greeneville 

Secondary Greeneville

Kicking Game elizabethton 

 Not saying this is 100 percent right. Just what I'm thinking going in to it

I never want to lose at anything and this is no different.However,I'm not looking at this game like it's the end of the world,win or lose.This is for who plays at home if they meet again in the playoffs.Yes,that's pretty big but it doesn't put a gold ball in Greeneville or Elizabethton this year.I think the winner will be who learns the most and makes the best adjustments for the possible 2nd game and yeah,who has the most points at the end of this one as well. I'm not putting either team as an early favorite,both will have to earn that next week.Go Devils.

Couldn’t agree more. Last season was a great learning experience for both sides. I KNEW those Devils were NOT the same team we played in the first meeting. And it showed. The Cyclones did not regress, but the Greene got that much better. Anyone who thinks otherwise is foolish. Just look at the Nolensville game for proof. And don’t count out AC. Same could be said for them. It’s only week three folks. The Gold Ball could very well end up on a team with at least 1 loss. District 2 and the West have improved. But, let’s play THIS game first before we get too ahead of ourselves. Hope it’s a great game, and a Cyclone victory!

Very well stated except for the last two words.... the GREENE is going to roll in this one.    GREENE by 14
