I was just going to talk a little about Haywood. I am fromMcnairy central and we played them them yesterday (3/30). i was looking to get beat 10 neal but out of the gate we presurred haywood and they backed off. Haywood beat us 6-3 but we as a team only played 60 mintues. if we would have played the full 80 as a team i think we could take them. and freddy timms he is good cause he scored 5 of there 6. he scored 4 in like the last 10 mintues. we had haywood on there toes 2-1 with 20 mintues to play and we just layed down. i cant wiat till meet them in region.....Mcnairy central will be a tough team....dont look over us

I can not wait to see how Pope John Paul is when warren county plays them next tuesday. warren county is on a streak right now in the past 3 games we have scored 14 goals and let in one and the one that was let in was when our back up j.v. keeper was in we were up 8-0 against white co. So i look forward to seeing what they got. Can any one tell me about there offense?

Okay, we just tied them 0-0, they are very very very solid in the back, but they have a very shaky keeper. They play a sweeper stopper, not a flat 4, and their sweeper is very good. He is #7. He goes up and takes all the free kicks though and so it is important that you get the ball out quick and counter while hes up. We had a few chances to do so, but our forwards, me being one of them, couldnt find the net. They are decent in midfield, they have one player #5, who is very very very good, he seemed to be playing on the outside most of the game, or he may have been playing up top, it was sorta hard to tell, bc i wasnt back there, but he had the most shots and came very close on several, but our keeper (Corbin Walker) made some outstanding saves. Also, look out for #21, he played stopper most of the game, and was good, but not great, he is very tall though, ab 6'2 and is very good out of the air, but his footskills are a little shaky. He moved up top though, with about 15 minutes to go and had very good speed, and used to his advantage to create some shots. keep an eye on him when hes up there, and always watch #5, and be prepared to make a quick counter when #7 pushes up.

    • 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.
