The reason that Greeneville looks like a college team is because a lot of them are college players........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXSW 557 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 The first day is in the books of the Blue Cross Bowl. In 4A Greenville (15-0) defeated Haywood County (10-5) 56-21 for it's fourth state title and owns back to back championships for the second time in school history, they have won 30 in a row and are as close as to a perfect football team as you will ever had watched. In 6A Oakland (14-1) defeated Whitehaven (11-4) 37-0 for it's fourth title and first since 2008, they beat Maryville and Whitehaven by a combined 75-0 the last two weeks. It was the first shut of Maryville in 18 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this isn't the last great Greeneville team, there are rumors floating around that Ballard may step down. I listened to the fourth quarter on Greenville's radio broadcast and the announcers that they were unsure he would return. I hope he does not leave but who knows!

If he were thinking of leaving, I'm sure he would have many suitors. Too young to retire. It would be a shame if he did though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXSW 557 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 It was all centered around his desire just to be dad for his D1 football son and the time it would take away from the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union_Fan 2,155 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Didn't think about that. Good dad though! Maybe he can find a way to juggle both. Hhsdevils93 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublue 939 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Times News Sports @tnsportslive What NE Tennessee school has enjoyed the most football playoff success? Douglas Fritz • Today at 6:24 PM Fifty years ago, the TSSAA held its first football playoffs. Since then, area teams have won their share of postseason football contests. But how do area schools rank against each other? http://www.timesnews.net/Football/2019/07/15/What-school-has-enjoyed-the-most-football-playoff-success.html?ci=stream&lp=1&p=1 great state SXSW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SXSW 557 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 i just the numbers for Gate City since 1970, using his formula Gate City has 531 points his top 5 has a total of 534! My head would explode trying to do them all for Southwest Virginia! Appy, Powell Valley, Clintwood, Graham would have massive numbers in this equation.

I can think of at least 8 SWVA schools that would almost certainly outpoint Elizabethton in that same time period. Gate City, Giles, Powell Valley, Graham, Appalachia, Richlands, Clintwood, and George Wythe are locks. Pulaski County and Radford would be close.

Maybe our resident researcher, not mentioning any names, needs a rainy day project! I was calculating all the numbers and my boss walked in my office and ask what I was doing, I couldn't say that I was doing nothing, so I had to explain it to him. He is a Sullivan South fan he was disappointed at their numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Graham would have 176, and that includes an 8 year stretch where Graham went 1-7 in the playoffs: 1976 - 1 1981 - 8 1984 - 1 1986 - 6 1987 - 1 1989 - 18 1990 - 8 1991 - 6 1992 - 1 1993 - 8 1994 - 6 1995 - 18 1997 - 6 1998 - 8 1999 - 1 2000 - 1 2001 - 12 2002 - 6 2003 - 8 2004 - 1 2005 - 6 2006 - 6 2007 - 1 2008 - 1 2009 - 3 2011 - 1 2012 - 1 2013 - 1 2014 - 1 2015 - 3 2016 - 6 2017 - 6 2018 - 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Ive got Haysi at 82 points, but not sure i calculated it correctly. 82 is the minimum and my math is probably flawed. Using this formula SWVA has been MUCH more successful than NET. Dont really think thats groundbreaking news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapeape 259 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 AND for many of those years, making the playoffs meant 7 / 8 wins in swva, as opposed to 1 / 2 wins in tssaa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Upon further evaluation I get 130 for Haysi. I wasn't counting victories, just how far they made it (ex -2014 I originally counted as 9 for making the semis and making the playoffs for a consecutive year, I should have counted as 15 - 8 for making the semis, 3 wins = 6, 1 for consecutive year making playoffs). If that's correct and my math isnt wrong 130, which would place Haysi at #2 behind Elizabethton, not counting the other SWVA schools.

redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 11 hours ago, UVAObserver said: I didn’t compile victories for Graham in my calculation... I think you should have. Elizabethton (139) "The Cyclones have 6 semifinals finishes and 34 total wins" 48+68 = 116, and they didnt have 17 seasons where they only won a game or two, did they? I mean if were only counting playoff wins in years where they only won a game or two then I dont think they would get to 34, some of those 34 wins have to be during their semi finals years... I think. Sullivan North 50 "The Raiders have four finishes in the quarterfinals". 4 Quarters = 24 pts, where did the other 26 points come from? Consecutive appearance points doesn't cover it and I dont think North is in the playoffs frequently enough (and good enough) to get a win each year and cover it. The only way consecutive points covers those spreads is if the TSSAA has had this easy to get in system for a long time and I dont know if they have or not.
