One of the better HS rivalries in the state is that of midstate competitors Father Ryan and Harpeth Hall. Both teams flip-flop victories each year and continuously put on a good show, both soccer and 'trash talk' wise.

 

Also a rising star in the rivalry sky, Harpeth Hall vs GPS. This year the two single-sex schools went head to head early in the season giving GPS the 'W'. However, it was the semi-final game in the state tournament that tossed the Honeybears back into the fire. The teams went scoreless until, with 28 seconds remaining in the 2nd sudden death OT, a sophomore put a PK on goal to give the Bears a win and advancement to the State Finals where they fell to common foe, Baylor.

 

1) HH vs. Ryan

reason: trash talk

2) GPS vs. HH

reason: talent

Janet Laws actually posts on here often. She's my cousin. She will be a freshman next year and she's a very talented girl. You'll come to know her and love her as you watch her play for the next four years. The only problem is that she's considering attending FRA next year, instead of Franklin, but odds are that she'll end up at FHS. Go Rebels!!! :wub:

    • I grew up watching Greene Devil Football since I could walk and still close with a lot of the coaches so should know my history pretty well lol.  Everything worked out the way it should have but firmly believe McCurry would have won some State Title if he wouldn't been let go (Greeneville still runs the same D he brought here and he let Ballard run the O and stayed out of it when it came to calling plays.  Greeneville was put out in the Semi's McCurry's last year against Maryville and the next year Greeneville stayed in 4a and was State Runner up playing were they were placed for the first time by the TSSAA.). It was definitely a McCurry and Ballard show that turned everything around along with the Community buying in and revamping the weight room and field house. Since Ballard got promoted to HC every Coach after him has been within the Greeneville Coaching staff because your right, they know what it takes to win a state championship.  Ballard was a master mine on O and what i think Greeneville has lacked since he left and let some Championships or making it to the Championship slip away over the last few years
    • Sounds like you know your area history well. Going back and looking the records were better than I thought but mostly still beating Upper East TN schools. Ballard sounds like he came/was promoted at the right time.    I do think it’s no coincidence that them keeping the HCs as guys who were former guys on the staff. Too many times schools want a “state championship” leveled coach from the outside but they don’t know the landscape. Promoting from within will help with less turnover and keep the program consistent. 
    • You’re a fool if you think I have more than one account 
    • Looking back they had better records than I recalled against upper East TN.  But they still took off once ballard got there. And beating other good programs
