The 23

The senior class had already helped push Greenbrier to the 2003 state semifinal. The season retrospective says the group entered 2004 with a simple target: still be practicing over Thanksgiving. They were. The Kingsbury semifinal came on Nov. 26, and one week later the Bobcats played for the Class 3A title.

Official BlueCross Bowl schedule and Greenbrier coaching staff
Official championship programThe state-title program lists the complete 2004 staff and both teams' roads to Murfreesboro.

The staff

Head coach: Kirk Williams

Assistant coaches: Steve Sorrells, John Elmore, Robert Estes, Kelly Ziegler, David Johnson, Darrel Sweeney and Stetson Dickerson.

The program's depth chart also captures the personnel Greenbrier planned to use against Fulton — a useful end-of-season snapshot after 14 games of attrition, adjustments and role changes.

Primary source: 2004 TSSAA BlueCross Bowl Class 3A program. The roster table below follows the title-game program. Obvious typesetting/OCR variants were reconciled against the depth chart and contemporary roster listings.

Championship-game depth chart

The line behind the run

The Robertson County Times' season-end feature grouped five starting offensive linemen together as its offensive MVPs: Austin Stratton, Dustin Cole, Dale Krisle, Wade Pearson and Joey Stephens. The retrospective credited the line with blocking for more than 4,000 yards of offense.

That framing matters. The 2004 story is easy to reduce to one star runner or one playoff moment; the contemporary coverage explicitly treated the line as a unit worthy of its own award.
