Who is worthy of stepping on the field with Greeneville?

I'll go with Greeneville being the 4th best team in the state, behind Oakland, Murville and Alcoa, but I admit that outside of Oakland, I really don't know much about any teams west of Knoxville. Worthy of stepping on the field with Greeneville? That's a lot of hyperbole, but Elizabethton and Powell wouldn't roll over and play dead. If they played Powell and there was a betting over/under, definitely take the over. I don't see anyone in 4A stopping them though. Their best team ever? I'd go with the team that had the Carmichael kid at QB and/or the last 2 Ballard QB'd teams. Those teams were brutal. I've seen this Greeneville team scrimmage West Ridge and play  Knox Central. They hung 5 or 6 TD on West Ridge in probably less than 20 plays, and dominated Central as well. While they don't have a big power back like Hall or Spradlin, they have an excellent passing game and tons of speed that opens up running lanes for Gudger. It's an outstanding team. 

Powell and West both appear to be much better than any team you've seen in the Knox area.  Ease up.

I think he's just excited.  Greeneville probably has their best team ever. And that says a lot. They have two or three state championships in the last ten years. They've also hit on a year where a lot of the teams on their schedule are down or way down. They could of beat West 100-0 last night if they'd wanted. I don't think they would beat Oakland, Maryville, or Alcoa, and maybe a couple of other teams in the publics but their not far off. They'll take 4A this year with no problem. 

You think this team is better than when Willie Carmichael was there ?

Ease up? Powell and West aren't better than Alcoa or Murville. I've seen both, and I consider that to be in the Knoxville area. 

That was in response to your post.  I agree that both Alcoa and Maryville are very good, but the idea that Greeneville is the fourth best team in the state over Powell West and maybe SD is a bit strong id say.

And does the statement include the privates?

That’s what I meant swipes.I am getting old and forgetful.

I was a Senior Captain on that 07-08 team is why i asked lol.  We weren't bad going 10-3 just a bunch of hard workers.  We didn't have the speed to keep up with this years team.  They would have known they had played a football game though because we liked to hit :cool:

Pearl Cohn is who I'm worried about the most out of the West. But there is other good team's out West and south Doyle has a good team very capable. I'm not even sure the guy that started this thread is a Greeneville fan. But either way he doesn't represent the rest of us. That's for sure. I love coacht as a place to have good football conversation. But the sticking the chest out and the trash talking about high school kid's is just plain stupid

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
