J' Allen is a very good player, but not Boo.  J'Allen is a threat to take it the distance anytime, but at this point he is also not a Jackson Wilson, who got the short yards in the middle.

But next year he will be a mainstay no doubt, but will he do what Boo did? We shall see but that would be a huge set of shoes to fill.

"Boo Carter, (5-foot-11, 180-pounds) put together 1,795 all-purpose yards for an average of 128.2 yards per game. The University of Tennessee commit pulled in 78 passes for 1,145 yards and a program record 16 TD receptions. He also had 42 rushes for another 262 yards and seven scores. Carter set new program records with a 94-yard punt return, plus a 98-yard kickoff return for scores. He also had a 75-yard scoring dash on another punt in his 407 return yards. On defense, the strong safety was in on 89 takedowns, including 44 solo tackles, with 5.5 for loss, a QB sack, a pair of interceptions and three pass break ups."

I think you summed it up perfectly. Who do they have coming up to take Wilson’s spot? That kid played hard, really respected his game. Glad I don’t have to watch Walker Valley (or Ocoee back in the middle school days) go against him anymore.

Bradley needs linemen, that's why Oakland ran all over them, even Maryville and Bearden racked up yardage because they had linemen.

I agree and that has been an issue here for a long time. We simply don't have the linemen of that stature year in and year out. Not a dig at our previous or current players, because the play hard and do a good job overall.  but they simply don't have the builds of the lines that the top teams have. And that makes it tough.

The size of those lines in the game last night and the McCallie game says it all. Oakland has repeatedly come up with lines every year we have played them. This new team Houston was one of the very first teams I've seen that made Oakland look small. They controlled that game up front.

That knee injury that cost Wilson his Jr year was tough. Always loved his fight and the way he played. He ran bigger than his 180 lbs, and had more speed than most credited him for. I have heard a number of terms to describe it, but my favorite term has always been "football speed".

Terry's ankle injury probably bothered him all season long. But for him to be successful at RB he will need a stronger line in front of him. Get him in the open, then lookout.

I drive all my friends nuts, because I don't look at the skill players first. I would go the preseason stuff at Finley every year and people would say why? They are not going to show anything. I would tell them I go to watch the line play and the execution. You can tell a lot about how a team will be from those two things.

I was pleasantly surprised our lines actually did well against Bearden, Farragut and Maryville; much better than I expected. Granted, i don't think either Farragut or Maryville was as good as usual either. Bearden looked about the same, but I think our overall team speed played a huge factor there.

I think Bradley’s really good defense is going to be the factor next year. They’re losing a huge portion of their offense but will still have cook and terry and whoever else they may or may not get transferred lol however the defense, still have zayne, and Wiley suchawicz.. also Bradley has a monster JV… so some of those guys will be moving up and ready to go. Should be another great season…

      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.

      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.
