speakin of those guys from the boro....siegel's team wont be good overall but we do have a couple burners.... Jacob Craig, Kelvin Hill are long distance madmen...siegel also has one or two other burners in the hurdles and 800 i believe, a couple of transfers from Oakland, one is a sophomore who finished like 5th at state last year for oakland as a freshman i believe

4:16 mile, that's a 4:14 1600, on an indoor track. No one can touch Bumbalough, not even Strang, not by a long shot. Bumbalough will get the state 1600 record easily with that time so early without competition and unevenly splitted, and that's mid-distance; distance is his strong point. He may get beat in the 800, but it won't be Strang who beats himl; he doesn't have enough speed. I heard from Denton that his PR in the 400 is 58, so that marks him out. I would bet on somebody just bigger and stronger to beat Bumbi in the 800, that MBA guy....Oliver.....someone with a Jamie Bach physique

I agree that Bumbi will win the 3200 and 1600 easily with Strang as a distant second. However, the three guys who have a shot at beating him in the 800 are as you said Jeff Snyder from MBA, Nick Raff from McCallie, and the guy with the unbelievable raw leg speed from Baylor, Vikram Strivastiva. These guys will not have fresh legs themselves either. Snyder and Strivastiva may do the 4X8, and Raff may even do the 1600 too. Bumbi will still probably run a really fast 800 time this year, but not at state.

Actually that Oakland guy you are reffering to was a junior last year and ran a 2:07 at state for 8th place. He is a senior this year and I don't think he will make state again.

I'm not sure. I talked to his coach at some wrestling matches this year. I think he barely missed out on state last year. He's one to watch out for

Pair's a great runner and he's only a sophomore, but define "barely missed" for me because I was in that sectional race and he got 5th at the best, and thats only if he beat Sexton- who was also not in the top four...

    • 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.
