Unfortunately they don't have their own health department to be on standby at the stadium this time around.

A bit sensitive are we?   It was the health department in your county that cancelled the game.   And my original post was meant in jest, but that obviously passed right over your head.  Coul

Your exactly right. D-B didn't want any of McMinn last year after their last meeting against McMinn was a humiliating loss at Kingsport in the playoffs. D-B was undefeated at that time,10-0 and ranked

Quick exit from the playoffs for the Indians, offense will be lucky to score and while the defense is OK, they will find themselves on the field too much and wear down. Murvil by 35

What if DB plays a slowed down ball control type of offense..... and the defensive backs play 10-15 yards off the LOS....  Would that make a difference?

Still have to get first downs, eat the clock, score and hope Murvil doesn't come right back with a drive and score themselves. DBs play that far off Murvil will run for 400 yards,

DB is in that category of schools that comes up with a good team every 5 or 6 years. Their in that category of schools that has to wait on a good group of players to come together in one team. Most schools are the same way. The schools that have good to great teams year in and year out are few. In the state of Tennessee you can count them on one hand. Those teams have figured out that to be good to great every year you have to build your athletes from the ground up. You can't expect to have really good athletes report for practice every year if you're not building them. Everybody says DB is in a "rebuilding year". No, their not in a rebuilding year. Their waiting on another group of good athletes to show up. It might be next year or it might be 5 years down the road. If they had a system where they were building their athletes there would be no "rebuilding years".

It was kinda' funny how the game went last year. I think it was DB's plan to play ball control to keep the Maryville offense off the field and keep the game close, and maybe hope for a Maryville turn over at the right time. The fact that Maryville was scoring so quickly every time they got on offense ended up hurting them a little in the forth quarter. Their defense was wore out midway through the forth.

The best away game story I've heard was from a Greeneville player who played at Unicoi county in the fifties.Greenevilles coach who was a man,knocked out a fan that was yelling some bad things.A huge fight broke out and the players made a circle around the coach and someone through him a knife .Pretty rough ending that night. Oh,that was the other toughest place I ever played a game at in the seventies.I guess it took a while for the bad blood to go away .It didn't matter if it was a 9th grade football or baseball team or varsity football or baseball,they hated us at any level.

Batman thait sownds like sum ov tha thangs thait happuned when'st Ron and Don wur rasslin......Eye no Ron got stabbed att leest once......Pluss eye've seed a cupple ov times thait fans tride two gett att him att tha old Mairvul Amory onn Perm Hill.....:popcorneater:

DB has a really good OL coach. One of the "good ole' boys" that's actually working out. I expect next years OL will be comparable to last years.

Just asking here, what makes one of the “good ole boys”? Is it just former players? What’s the criteria I guess is my question. 
 

I do agree though, I feel like something with DB and OL just go together. Christian was a fantastic OL coach, maybe one of the best around and now seems that Hayworth is doing a pretty good job since he was brought on.

I don’t think D-B is really a 4th seed. I don’t usually agree with Homer Fritz, but I think all the tiebreakers should be from Region games. The coaches can change it, but no one will bring it up after the season and the TSSAA delegates will only vote on stuff that pertains to their school. It’s the same way with six classes. The schools have a way to change it, but won’t. RR

I might be mistaken but I think it was in Greeneville that they about killed Ron. I can remember going to some of those small events and the fans were crazy.They were what made it a show by getting so mad at the wrestlers. .Some of those big time guys are monsters. One of my sons was a trainer in LA and the Big Show came in. My son went over to meet him but a Victoria secret model ask him to stretch her legs right in front of Big Show.My son said Big Show just smiled at him with approval but left before my son got a chance  to talk to him.I'd say me and Big Show would agree he made the right decision,ha.

      Cummings named Coach at LC.

      By Swipes · Posted

      A complete cultural change happened at Greeneville and the administration and community opened up their checkbooks.  What a lot of people don't know is Ballard was Zeller's OC for many years and stopped coaching for two years because Zeller and Ballard didn't see eye to eye on some things.  Zeller lead Greeneville to it's first ever Semi Final appearance in 2000 and lost 28-12 at Maryville and had them in the Quarter Finals in 2002 and 2003.  Z was a great coach but lost some control when it came to making workouts mandatory. (He learned from that Mistake and it was at LC when i coached with him.).  Z was let go going into my Senior Year and was replaced by Steve McCurry who was the one that turned the program around.  Steve had won a 4a state championship at AC Reynolds in Asheville and made the administration completely redo the weight room with new equipment, had a football period at the end of the school day to lift, started devil camp, and brought in coaches like Danny Bentley (Still the OL coach), Ballard as the OC, Cody Baugh (QB coach and still there), and even Spradlen who is Greeneville's head coach now as the DB's Coach.  McCurry only coached for two seasons at Greeneville and took a team that had a losing record the year before and finished my Senior Year making it to the Quarters and having a 10-3 record and then followed it up with a Semi Final appearance the next year with an 11-3 record and back to back conference championships.  Loved McCurry to death but the recession hit and the story i heard was he was still buying new equipment for the team that the Principal didn't authorize and his response was "I don't answer to you and only to Niswonger and Bewley" (Two huge donors).  That was it for him and they Promoted Ballard shortly after that.   Greeneville had always been relevant ever since the the late 70's under Coach Fred Sorrell's.  Since Sorrell's took over in 1977 Greeneville overall winning percentage is over 76%.  The biggest reason people might not have thought Greeneville was "Good" until Ballard was Greeneville always played up Classification wise and could never get over the hump. (When there were 3 classifications we played 3a, when it went to 5 we played 4a).  Greeneville is the largest its ever been with 953 students and where playing teams 2 or 3 times there size back in the day (I had a little over 800 kids in the school when i graduated in 2008).  Other teams always would know they would be sore after a game but depth took over and never won a Championship until Greeneville played in the classification the TSSAA actually assigned them. You had names like Dustin Moore (1993 Mr Football for 3a and who Phillip Fulmer said was one of the greatest athletes he ever recruited), James "Mud Turtle" Mayes, Brigham Lyons, Byron Gillespie, Frankie Debusk (National Champion Qb at Furman with GQ), Jasmine Lowery, Cody Baugh, The Greenway Brothers, Joe Watson (Furman), etc.  Now the cultural is from the Pee Wee league up and you grow up as a young kid wanting to wear the Greene and White.  Here is a really good link when it comes to anything Greeneville Football related. https://greenevillefootball.com/   I also don't coach anymore.  Z told me i was to smart with how the school systems are ran these days and ended up going into real estate in Knoxville which has been a great decision for my life.

      Yes, they will. I'm wondering what kinds of strides Sale Creek will make heading into the second season under Coach Fitz.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.

      I know most Pirate starters were seniors last year. Im not sure how accurate it is but someone said we only have 3 seniors. That Prep team will probably make some noise this coming season too.
