What does everyone think about this game thurs nite? The winner is in the playoffs and the loser is out. Comparing play with Gleason and Bruceton. Should be a very competitive game. Falcons are competing for a playoff spot coming off an 0-10 season a year ago. With a very Young Team 8-9 FR. and SO. starting on each side of the ball the Falcons look like a team to be reckoned with down the road.

Lake County hasn't beaten Greenfield since 2000 (my senior year, beat them at home 50-8), so they are definitely due. This is probably the weakest Greenfield team since that year (although they are probably not AS weak as they were in 2000) so I think Lake County has a very good chance to pull out a victory. A 4-6 record for the Falcons and a playoff berth would be fantastic with so many young guys and coming off an 0-10 season. Things look very promising for the future (especially if a certain prodigal tailback transfers back to LC, as has been rumored).

 

The Jackets' home field has not been especially nice to Lake County. The Falcons haven't won on Greenfield's home turf since 1995. Should be a very close, exciting game with a lot on the line.

 

If I were a betting man (which I'm not), I'd put the line on this game at about -3 for Greenfield (based on home field alone). I'm going against the odds, though, because I know Lake County's five seniors don't want it to end this week.

 

My prediction:

Lake County 24

Greenfield 18 (in a mild upset)

ok listen you wanna talk about a team that was young.and if you also want to bring the past back up then we can.in 2000 when greenfield lost to lake county 50-8 greenfield had 8 sophmore starting that year thats never started a high school game intill 2000.we had 1 senior in 2000 and something like 2 or 3 juniors so i say we were young not weak.but lets look at 2001,and 2002.what did greenfield do to lake county.after we all had a year under our belts.greenfield went 2-8 in 2000.then in 2001 they went 9-3 and in 2002 they went 6-5.in 2002 greenfield could have beat lake county by 80 points or better but the starters were pulled before half time and the score then was like 40-0.and i dont remember what the score was in 2001 but im sure it wasnt close.and im sure it could have been worse.but you know thats all in the past and it dont matter anymore.so next time you bring up the past about beating greenfield 50-8 think first about how many times have you beat greenfield in the past 4 or 5 years.i think yall may have beat us once in the past 4 0r 5 years and prolly longer.but anyways back to the game thats thursday night.lake county will be a solid team in about 2 or 3 more years.but for know they are average.i mean greenfields not the best team either but i think there going to beat lack county by at least 30.i mean yall played a cose game with fulton city and fulton county.and if i remember right greenfield blowed both of them teams out of the water which yall barrley survied.and for the fact about MCELRATH well hes good dont get me wrong but greenfield has seen better.we beat bruceton and oray willis.and willis is better.we played with west carrol which they have shane depreist and hes better and he had something like 40 yards rushing.so i dont think mcelrath will matter that much.but what mcelrath better do is watch for justin lyles.i think lyles is prolly one the best players in region 8.and prolly the best LB.and hes not to bad of a runnin back either.and you wanna say that greenfield is weak.well man every game that greenfield has lost they have played right there intill the end and a couple breaks here and there we beat halls,west carroll,adamsville,and we had chances to beat souht fulton as well so a couple breaks greenfield has only one lose up to this point and thats to perry county.thats the only game that we were out played all night.so if you ask me lake countys the weak onesfor right now.but iin a few years they will a solid football team.

Dang, balla202. You don't have to get all riled up here. I was just saying it's been three years since LC beat Greenfield and how much trouble LC has had on the road against the Jackets, and then you're going to come on here and halfway chew me out? I knew I didn't like Greenfield fans for a reason.

    • 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.

    • 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.
