I didn't get to go to that sub-state game, but if I understand correctly, they asked fans from both teams to watch to game on TV in classrooms. I know I would have been hard pressed to not be in the gym, so I am sure there were several from both teams who refused. Even though Cosby's gym is one of the larger ones in Class A, I know it will still be packed and we don't have the closed circuit tv system. I think I'm going to go stake out my seat when the bell rings at 3:00.

 

GO COSBY!

AMEN!! Hancock County SHOULD be given the same courtesy, but since when has Cosby been very courteous to us?

 

And as far as the fans of Cosby go, all of them were fine except for a small group of "ladies" I use that term loosely because they weren't very ladylike! :D

 

GO INDIANS!!!!!! :D:D:D:D

I was at the Cosby/hancock game 2 years ago. I got there EARLY.(I had never been to Sneedville) I got a great seat.

I do remember that at the gate they asked if I was from hancock or Cosby and had seperate tickets. I'm not sure if

we had an "allotment" of tickets or what. I'm also not sure

what we plan to do at Cosby. I'm sure there is a limited #

of tickets that can be sold because of the fire marshall restrictions. AM 1270 hancock fans but you will have to go back into Newport. Maybe you can get a section of the

Wal-Mart parking lot. :D

I do think that both Hancock a few years ago and Midway the past few weeks did the best they could with what space they had to work with. And even though we've got a lot of seats at Cosby, I'm sure it won't be enough. I know I've got a seat reserved good luck to everybody else.

 

Go Eagles...!!!

This is a very important game for the teams of Cosby and Hancock County. The boys and coaches have worked extremely hard since summer of last year. The players know this is a deciding game and that one team moves on and the season ends for the other. We, the fans, need to keep in mind that this sport of basketball, is a school program and that we need to conduct ourselves in a sportsmanship way. There are those out there that give BOTH teams a bad image. For those, I am ashamed. Why does our basketball program have to be surrounded with such ill manners? Can't the game just be played and the outcome be decided by the players on the court? I support my team fully, and will stand beside them no matter what the score is when the buzzer rings for the final time on Monday night. I was at the game 2 years ago when Hancock hosted Cosby in sub-state. I know fans were seated inside the gym to the point I thought it may have influenced the way the boys played. I hope tomorrow night's game will be played fairly and that the fans of both teams accept the outcome for what it is.

 

Go Indians!!!

Hey Rebecca, if you recall correctly, The "Rock" had 30 at Cosby this year and it was not enough. Admit it. You and the rest of Hancock are scared to come to Cosby as we would be coming to HCHS. But hey you're coming anyway. It should be a game where Cosby gets a pretty comfortable lead and can hold it. Rocky got 30 last time. but not enough. The rest of the team was stopped. Cosby tickets go on sale at 9:00 Monday morning. Good luck finding a seat Hancock fans. Don't woory you don't have to wish me luck finding one. I'll be busy being the official scorekeepeer as the Eagles hopefully go 29-2 and Hancock goes home.

 

GO BIG BLUE

Hey rebecca, I wasn't asking for your opinion on the matter, I was just giving you the facts. When a sixth foul is granted a team doesn't get one and one free throws, but that's what happened for Hancock. Just ask Shaniaguy, he was there. We re-watched the film over and over and there were only 6 fouls on Cosby at the time but the home scorebook said 7 and thats what the refs went by. But that's not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last time mysterious things have happened at Hancock. Tickets do go on sale at 9:00 and if your lucky we might reserve you guys 300 seats like you did us (But I doubt it) ;) You say the game earlier in the year was the game of our lives, but you obviously haven't seen us play any other games. I'm sure we will have some tricks up our sleeves. It's the crock vs. the MVP(of every tourny he's in). We'll bring the whoopin', you bring the toe!

 

 

GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!!! :):D

Don't worry, rebecca may be too afraid to come tomorrow night. After all, Hancock's not lost a game at their place in however long and niether has Cosby this year. Hancock will try to conquer at the nest but Cosby will be ready and even if Rocky does get thirty points, we know we can still beat you, uh because he did that already and we still won. So the pressure's on Hancock. And i still laugh at the fact that there were 300 "reserved Cosby seats at HCHS" If it were up to me, Hancock might get 30 seats tomorrow but hey the more people Cosby makes mad the better. Look out Murfreesboro the eagles have their eyes on you.

    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
    • Dyersburg scrimmaged South Gibson last week
    • 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.
