This year might be the best time for AC to make a run. EHS will be around but this season might look a little different than the last 3

I do not have exact stats, but last year one guy had the majority of the yards on offense.   At least in the couple of games that I saw.    No matter how you slice it that guy will be impossible to replace.    I'm sure there are others who will step up but as you say, it may not be the same as the last 3 years.    We play you guys on Sept 9, just hoping we keep it close like that last couple of years.   Our defense should be pretty stout but the offense is going to struggle.

Rollins carried that EHS team last season. Looking towards this season, it will be many players spreading the wealth. What’s scarier? Not knowing where the ball will go? Or knowing and STILL not being able to do anything about it? No Rollins, no Roberts, no Gudger, no Galespie. It’s 2022. It’s the next chapter, for everyone. It’s why high school football is the best IMO. Watching young boys become young men and mature into special people is rewarding and entertaining. Our programs have cycled a lot of quality people through their ranks. I’m just excited to see the next generation step up.

I agree, HS football is the best hands-down.      I got sick of the NFL many years ago.    College is not much better these days either.

You know i'm not old enough to remember the 80's Coach! :lol:  Love the History and you know i'm a Greene Devil through and through. 

Swipes, my best friend, before he passed, was involved with Greene Devils sports. If you were mid 2000's, did you play with his son Joel Brimer. He is a great guy, his Dad and I played football together at Jeff County.

Coach Bill Brimer was one of a kind!!!  Loved Coach Brimer to death and he was our Freshman Head Coach.  I still remember stretching before our first freshman scrimmage and Coach came over to me and hit me in the helmet with his metal whistle and ask “are your ears ringing yet”?  Then proceeded to tell me that’s what it’s going to sound like when you lay someone out in the A gap.

 

I graduated with Joel and was the starting MLB my Senior year on the same side Joel was the DE.  Still believe if Joel didn’t get hurt in the first quarter of the Quarter Finals game against Sullivan South we would have beaten them again like we did on the regular season.  Our biggest defender was myself and our other MLB at 205lbs but we were mean and most of our Dline all wrestled.

I’m sure @noonesfool can tell you same great stories about Bill too since he was a former Devil Coach and Vice Principal

Some good reading.The good old days  were not always the best or smartest thing.I remember hearing a story from a 1950's Greene Devil and one practice that was fitting for the time .It was lightning all around the place and buckets of rain was falling. The Devil coach was tough and acting as if it was a beautiful sunny day. All of a sudden, lightning literally struck the practice field.Without saying a word, coach just pointed and the team ran off the field as coach followed.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
