Wait, wait, wait. What in the world is going on here? What happened to all of the wailing and gnashing of teeth? Where are the pitchforks and torches? Now it sounds like you all are shouting "WERE BACK!"

Lol, I'm just kidding. Congrats on the turn around that it seems had happened from the beginning until now. Good luck Friday.

 

We've never said anything about the boys just the people that hired the stupid guy for head coach.

It’s truly sad the way people think they can do the man‘s job better than he can and call him stupid and an idiot. I feel bad for the guy. I know I know.. y’all will say.. I don’t understand.. and maybe I don’t.. but he went and beat the #1 seed last Friday. 

We're hardly a contender there Pirate :roflolk:

Well 03 there are really only 2 posters on our threads that speak their mind and that is Gfd and myself.I ALWAYS give credit were credit is DUE.I also call a spade a spade and this was a political hire for the City of Loudon not Greenback and that is what is sad!I respect you as a poster and always have and will but this goes a whole lot deeper than what is typed on a message board.I will give him credit this week because after the Cloudland he spoke in a interview with the Daily Times and finally admitted that HE put in in a terrible spot more than once the first time at OS instead of putting on the players.So my hat is off for that interview BUT does not change my view of what was done to our program the last 3 years.I still believe in our Greenback Cherokees in my opinion some of the best football players and athletes in 1A ball most years!Let's roll Cherokees!

Good luck to you and all the Pirates hope you NEVER have to deal with a mess like this.

I have been asked why I keep downing the team? If that's the way people see I am sorry! i have nothing against this team its the people that hired the coach and the way he was hired. These boys have worked their butts off and the coach keeps putting them in situations they cant win. I hate it for the boys!!!! This team has some very good athletes and I hate to see the situation they have been put in. This was a political hire from the top down.

GFD, I don't think you or OnB are downing the team at all. I get the frustration. To a certain degree, you aren't even downing the coach really, but the situation ... or the reason for the situation, I guess I should say. When something like this happens at a school without tradition, then no one really notices. But when it happens to a place like Greenback, if it happened to us, then there would be a lot of frustration. Can you imagine Alcoa or Oakland going through what you all are going through?

    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
    • What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
