There is a rumor in Chattanooga that BA is attempting in vitro recruiting. Ronnie Carter has polled the board of control who has decided that it's OK only if they have written permission from Yao and Shaq, the suspected doners. It's understood that Vanderbilt is participating. The Williams sisters have been contacted to determine if, in fact, they even like basketball and if they will participate.

 

We understand McCallie and Baylor are talking with The Rock and Tonya Harding to explore their interest in Tennessee High School wrestling.

 

Stay tuned...............

Hey, make sure you know what you are talking about when saying they only played teams in Nashville. They went over to Chattanooga and played Science Hill's 8th grade (and beat them by 25) and another top team out of that area and won by 35.

 

Also, White County (I know they are in Middle Tenn.), lost to BA by 11. White County's coach said that was the best team they had ever had and he thought no one would come close to them.

 

So if you know someone in the state better than them let me know. Then I will agree with you.

if i had some good marks to give out, it would defiantly go to AGGSL. He nailed it on the head with that one about the cockiness of BA.

 

CoachBlue, I see your allegation of cockiness, yet I see no BA fan on this board being disrespectfully cocky. It is not wrong to assert that BA has a chance to win state in the coming years, and I see it done in a respectful manner. Yes, the initiator of this thread is a bit too fervent about BA's future ventures, but every school will have those fans who take it too far occasionally.

 

I'd appreciate my school getting a little respect.

My comment was not necessarily about the cockineess of BA; it was about the silliness of assuming your team (no matter the team) will win it all over the next several years. From 8th grade to juniors and seniors is a huge change and I suspect several of those kids will not be near as good as they mature. Many 8th graders are good at that level because they have matured earlier. To assume that they will naturally be as good as juniors and seniors is not realistic.

Besides, if you bother to look around the state, there are a number of teams who were young this year.

AGGSL, I completely agree that it is silly to automatically assume that a team will take the next 4 titles. In fact, it is ludicrous. But you must remember that the only person to make this assumption was 1 BA fan. That's all. Not a player, coach, or parent. 1 fan. So don't judge a school by a single fan.

    • 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.
