It's a shame that we can't be like Morgan County. Morgan County has four high schools, all of which play one another and three of which compete in the same region. There is certainly no love lost among them but they do have respect for their fellow schools and the rivalries down there seem, at least on the surface, to work very well.

 

The rivalry between the Morgan teams is a good case study for several things. The Morgan County School system several years ago chose not to have a Consolidated Comprehensive High School centrally located for various reasons, the type of problem you have in Scott is one aspect of that decision concern that students from different schools could not get along and to keep them separate would be safer. When Scott had Robbins High, Norma, Huntsville, and Oneida, Morgan Schools played all those Scott Schools. Morgan schools now only play Oneida on a consistent basis due to the Region 2A alignment.

 

This is not to be a treatise on conslidated/comprehisive schools, but these large schools are a major reason for Private schools stepping to the forefront. While not a neighborhood school (which I support and strongly believe in) a private school is the next best thing.

 

Now to the rivalry aspect. Coalfield and Wartburg have a huge interclassification rivalry. The darn record is just a little over .500 in favor of Wartburg. As for Coalfield, Sunbright, and Oakdale the rivalry is there but there is such a diffence in programs from year to year at two of those schools it is not consistent.

There is mutual respect from all schools in the County.

 

Heck, we still have that Old time County Championship that don't mean nothin' but braggin rights and it at least gives Wartburg something to crow about when they beat three single a Schools to win it.

CRY ME A RIVER Come off the AA junk when Wartburg wins it is that they are AA and IF Coalfield wins it don't matter it's a rivalry game and the best team won The biggest part of the rival Wartburg was single A I have even heard the local radio station talk before the game that you can throw out the fact that Wartburg is AA this game is a big rivalry and a big county rivalry game at that but when wartburg wins they so O COALFIED was just playing a AA school this excuse for when you all win and lose is getting old I guess the reason for the radio guy saying the same thing is that he his from Coalfield Please come up with a new excuse

I can understand Wartburg wanting to beat Coalfield and vice versa. What I can't understand is why you think the truth that Wartburg is a AA school (I verified that with the TSSAA) that can only beat the three single A Schools in the county to get a mythical County Championship, and can't compete within their own division and Coalfield beats Wartburg nearly half the time and can compete in it's own division is an excuse. It appears Coalfield competes on several levels. Beating Wartburg more consistently than most A schools, playing up against even AAA Schools. Wartburg will never be able to compete in its classification until they play some schools in a higher classification and get some real competition beating up on schools with less than 200 students when they tip the scales at nearly 450+ students. So no it is not an excuse just a couple of facts: 1) the Dogs are AA can't deny that, and 2) their record against Coalfield is little better than .500. Now go home and cry about being beaten by a smaller school.

 

There you go Scott Co. guys, a little healthy rivalry trash talk.

What about basketball and baseball the dawgs are single A in them and win do you have a excuse for those wins I guess its the fact that wartburg has around 400 kids and yes you can pick up some AAA schools that are very week in football HA HA

CYJACKET I was just woundering is this the Coalfield that has had players at there school that did not live in coalfield not just in the male sports either HA HA HA LET THE FUN BEGIN

Without specifics can't answer. Also, Morgan is open Zoned meaning that any county student can attend any county school so long as they have transportation. Again, what has this got to do with rivalry? If there is an allegation of wrong doing, bring that up with the TSSAA. I think that has been looked into before because the dawgs brought it up when a Morgan Co. student that attended Wartburg decided the next year to attend Coalfield and it was found that they didn't know what they were talking about and it almost cost them a major lawsuit.

 

BTW, it's Their NOT There, and Coalfield is capitalized. Mr. Stewart would be ashamed of you. Maybe you should have come to school at Coalfield too. :blink:

    • 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.
    • No yellow stripes on the rug last night. Biggest crowd I’ve seen at 825 since the alco debacle.
