Game 1:  Ridgeway @ Olive Branch (MS)


Even with the Best or 2nd Best QB in the Area I don't see the Road Runners avoiding that OB Home Cooking


Olive Branch by 6


 


Game 2:  East @ Southwind


Toss up imo but I give the Mustang's the coaching edge over the Jags.


Memphis East by 2


 


Game 3:  White Station @ South Panola


I really think this spread could be greater but I don't want to come off as disrespectful to our main 16AAA competition and give some "fake" bulletin board material. 


South Panola by 14


 


Game 4:  MBA @ CBHS


Home cooking will play a major role imho 


CBHS by 1


 


Game 5:  Houston @ Cordova


New coach over at Houston may have a slow start.


Cordova by 7


 


Game 6:  Jackson Trinity Christian at St. George's


St. George's 


 


Game 7:  Millington @ Germantown


I think the Red Devils home field advantage will make the difference unless Millington has found a QB.


G-Town by 10


 


Game 8:  Brentwood Aca. @ MUS


I think MUS's defense will be tested beyond measure. 


Brentwood Academy by 5


 


 


Saturday August 23, 2014


 


Game 9:  Mitchell @ Whitehaven


This game will be close for a quarter or maybe even a quarter but superior depth and talent should play a major factor in this game.

Quarterback should be a strength of this Millington team as they will have a 3rd year starter at that position for the first time in 25 years. Junior Eldon Tyms is on pace to own every single career passing record that that Millington has. (I realize they have been a predominant Running offense until recent years). Not many people have the opportunity to start for three years at QB let alone four. Look for Tyms to put up big numbers this year as he has a number of athletic WR's that can take it the distance on short swing passes.  The big question for the Trojans this year as it has been in recent years is the Offensive and defensive lines. If  there is marked improvement in those areas that the Trojans could have a double digit win season. If not, they 7 or 8 games is still a real possibility.

I like these just don't know if CBHS can beat MBA . I may be wrong but I have them near the top of d2. Then again I didn't think father ryan could beat BA last year ... And I ate a lot of crow. Goofy things happen on Friday nights at times.

Though I always pull for local teams when they play out of town teams, I think MBA will win this one and quite possible handily. Instead of stepping up and raising the football program to the elite level much like MUS has, CBHS decided that "good" was good enough. As such, they will be a good team moving forward but never elite. Unfortunately, It takes an elite team to compete with the likes of MUS, Brentwood Academy, and Einsworth for a state championship. As it stands, I don't see CBHS competing at that level.

Hamilton vs Westwood at 5

 

Hillcrest vs Fairley at 7

 

Whitehaven vs Mitchell at 9.

    • 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.
