Actually he is a future predictor. I am also. I just happen to know him. But you are really good at comebacks. I am joking. But it is realy something that you want to stand up for your team and let everyone know. I hope your wildest dreams come true. later. I love you moose. later

Some people seem to think that CAK is gonna roll to state and seem to already prepparing for Temple. I'll say that I am doubting a little bit, its hard to guard the big man Lackey inside and they have two great shooters in Pitto and Duke, just ask Mt. Pleasant. They tried to run a triangle and 2 to stop these two shooters and pitto had 3 threes in the second half alone, and Duke started off the game with the first 9 points. Mt. Pleasant will regret trying that triangle 2, lol, ezell has dealt with that defense all year against goodpasture, and have become very successful against the triangle and 2 and box and 1. Just look at the stats for those games on Pitto, Duke, and even Gettis. Pitto lit goodpasture up for 7 (seven) 3's and 25 points in their only loss to Goodpasture (2OT) because the big man Lackey fouled out halfway through the 4th quarter and Duke was out most of the game puking. Goodpasture went back to the triangle 2 and box and 1 because of the lack of inside presence with Lackey out, which led to Gettis getting easy drives to the basket and Pitto and Duke showed that they are very capable of moving without the ball to get open, and having set plays and motions just for theb triangle and 2 and box and 1 helps a lil too lol, Ezell was well prepared for the "junk defense" of Goodpasture in the District semifinals. Is Ezell beatable, yes, I think everyone in the tournament seems to be near the same level, with the exception of Temple who i believe has proved themselves to be the elite team of these final 8 teams. I just think that Ezell has the edge in this game, due to what i hear about CAK's "junk defense" and not having a core defense to fall back on like a solid man-to-man or a solid "Syracuse like" 2-3 zone. What do yall think?

I agree. Ezell has the shooters and the defense to play with any team at this point. however the matchup with Ezell and Temple if both teams are lucky enough to meet will be a very anticipated game. To be the best you have gotta beat the best. And temple has proved themselves to be the best. But about Ezell and CAK.... I am going with Ezell by 6. Final score, CAK 49- Ezell 55. Peace

Here is the real starting lineup. Bergil24 I guessed you missed this, the first time I put it up.

 

PG #1 Pitto 5"10 - Likes to push the ball up the floor, he's deceptivley quick, he can shoot the 3 well.

 

SG #2 Duke 6"1 - Best all around player, can shoot the 3 or drive, either way he's hard to guard.

 

G #22 Gettis, 5"9 - Very quick guard, usually only looks for layups, he is prone to get easy fouls (reaches in alot) Cries to officials alot, complainer

 

G/F #32 Blackburn 6"0 - Stocky kid, plays mostly guard on "O" but will guard other teams 3+4 men. Good role player and can knock down the 17ftr.

 

C #30 Lackey 6"8 - Likes to block shots, Will shoot almost everytime he touches. Good rebounder. Anyone in A ball that is this tall is good.

    • Pirates can make a run at the dance for sure.
    • 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.
