Kirk Williams' First Season
Williams’s first Greenbrier team finished 5–6, with wins over Macon County, Livingston Academy, DeKalb County, Page and Montgomery Central.
The Bobcats won four of five in the middle of the schedule, establishing a foundation that would become far more visible in the seasons ahead.
Greenbrier traveled to Chattanooga Howard for the first round. The 27–13 loss ended year one, but the transition into the Williams era was complete.
Program Thread: Kelly Ziegler
Greenbrier’s internal coaching-history file lists Kelly Ziegler on staff from 1998–2009, placing his arrival at the beginning of the Kirk Williams era. Tennessee’s official record lists Ziegler as a 1987 senior inside linebacker and co-captain. The thread resurfaces in the 2004 scrapbook and again in 2008, when his son Zack posts six 100-yard rushing games.
