It should be a good year for the Trojans. They have two very good qbs

in Ben Ragan and Ty Robertson. Linebackers should be very good and have

a lot of experience led by seniors Ragan and Spencer Ray and junior Logan Wear...all with talent, size and lots of games under their belt. Another senior David Bigelow might be the fourth backer.

They have plenty of running backs as usual with Clayton Lockley,

Ragan, Robertson, Bigelow all with plenty of totes in 2013

 

Seniors Trevin May, Hunter Adams, Justin Tingle and junior Josh Morgan all have experience and will prob start on the line. Sophomore Mike Scott and Adams started on the D line last year all those guys started several games

last year.

 

secondary may be biggest question mark...senior Joe Rich and Ty Robertson

will probably be two of the starters

senior Alden Littlejohn is a totally awesome kicker/punter prob one of the very best in the state Brylie Fisher is a fast player who will play a lot at several positions...a very nice player!

Trojans will be better

I wouldn't think they would be as good if Cwood hadn't got bitten by the injury bug but the good thing to come from it was alot of underclassmen got quality playing time. I look for the Trojans to have a better record than last year and compete for the district title with WC and Loretto. Edited by wildcat89

It should have been a rebuilding year and in a way it still is but

they are rebuilding with a bunch of experienced players that played

really well at times they also got some fine looking freshmen coming in

including several big linemen and another of the caperton boys and man

is he athletic

Collinwood is going to be real good.  I think that they are going to be the team to beat in D12.  They are going to surprise most people.

they would have won the district last year if they hadn't lost so many players. I see no reason

to think they won't be just as good this year barring another bunch of injuries like the last two

seasons     They will be slightly smaller but a lot faster and more athletic this year  and I think they are going to have three or four freshmen come in and give them a lot of help too    Hopefully they find a coach or two to help Statom out a little, especially on defense

Cwood was definatly district favorites last year, no doubt about it but that's why you play the game. I don't think they have any freshman that will be of any help next year, maybe in a couple years. Cwood will be better than last year but not better than last years team had they been healthy. Raegan will pretty much have to put this team on his shoulders and carry it.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
