Oakland 2001 I did measure who LC was playing and I have been around the sytem for years. THis team has potential to be very dangerous.  They are improving each day and that's a good sign.  This team has all the weapons but a QB and I think the younger one will win the battle because he's an athlete and he may fit this system better.

i think the falcons would be better off lettin ellis play as our QB just to let him get the experience for next year and the year after. fraley is a senior and is a great baseball player but as far as QBing goes i would start looking to build for the future of the program.

Gregory is something else on the ground. Lincoln County was good last year, but I don't think they were as great as everyone made them out to be. They dominated their region, but they should have. Riverdale and Franklin- they didn't dominate those two. The playoffs showed that having a weak schedule doesn't help. Not that they could help that, the region was very weak last year and they had to play it... but I think it just made them look better than they were.

Rebel you disappoint me very much, last year, after L.C. beat a very excellent Franklin team, you were on here saying how good the falcons were. If you recall, we also beat an excellent Riverdale team at Murfreesboro for their first home loss in the their new stadium. So, best that I can remember Franklin made it all the way to the semi's, and Riverdale to the state championship game, that's two good football teams, so don't imply that we were overrated. You just don't go out and blow out good teams, and both those were very good teams, and L.C. beat both.

As far as the schedule, yes it was probably weak in the region last year, and I will be the first one to say that that did hurts us a great deal but, you have to play who they schedule you, but we have nothing to do with that, but our non-region games were Riverdale, there, Oakland, there, Blackman at home, Franklin at home and Chatt. Howard at home, now with the exception on Howard, the rest of those teams are year in year out good solid programs.

As far as this year, we will be very young, with around 58 players dressed out, 30 are sophmores, and we are very inexperienced in several key positions, and how the players that fill those positions react, and whether they step up or not, will determine how good a season that we have.

We have some returning players that will have to really have to turn it up a notch to have a good season that's for sure. By the middle and toward the end of the season we should be better as some of the younger players get that much needed experience, but it will be tough starting off that's for sure.

The Qb. situation got a little better Friday night when L.C. scrimmaged Dickson County,(L.C. 21 D.C. 14) starter Gus Fraley went 5 of 6 with 1td. and 1 int. for 161 yards. Gus looked much better and more comfortable running the offense than in the scrimmages before.

I have seen where there have been people on here running him down and saying that he shouldn't be the qb. but, he looked much improved last night. Just give the kid a chance, he will not make anyone forget Micheal Edmiston, that's for sure, but he looked much more confident and in control last night. As for Brince Ellis, his time will come that's for sure, he is only a soph. and he will learn a lot in the next few weeks. If we continue to improve in the coming weeks we will be pretty decent by the end of the year. After attending the L.C. middle school/Ninth grade Academy/ Fayetteville City Jr. High jamboree tonight, there are also several good young althete's coming up in the next few years that's for sure.

    • 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.
