I know Dyer Co beat Raliegh Egypt pretty handidly but don't think Dyer Co will be among the elite.If this team was in District 14a the past severalbseasons, think they would have finished 4th bebind Union City, Humbolt and Lake Co.Now if they were in District 14 A this year, thlink they would finish behind Union City and fight fk r 2nd with probably Gibson Co, Lake Co , South Fulton, Humbolt maybe.Probably would give a slight edge to Dyer Co for the 2nd spot.Dont see them beating Westview at all this season, or any of the elite teams that are their size.Dyer Co girls are a different story this year.Gonna be a hard team to beat,Been A long time when Dyer co and their fans had to watch a team pull their starters in the 4th quarter, Can bet Coach Mccord wasn't too happy.Will be surprised if some teams don't run up the score if given a chance as to how Dyer Co has done the past several seasons by pressing the entire game when games were over by halftime

 

Nobody ever taught DC coach the golden rule.  But you know he was ranked #1 coach in TN/KY so maybe he can make that boys team over achieve.  Heck it's only taken him about 5 years to finally get his girls team winning...............way to go #1 coach.

Tomorrow night game at Haywood County will be a big test for both Westview and Haywood boys team.  Haywood girls have improved a great deal and base off what I have heard and read on here and the newspaper, this years WV girls are not quite as good thus far as the teams of the past.  I said all of that to say this, if Haywood ladies should win tomorrow I might not be calling it an upset due to Haywood's improvement from  years past.  The Lady Tomcats havea new coach and  this is can be seen in their style of play alone with the  winning attitudes among the players looking for the Haywood ladies to turn some heads this year.. 

 

I do know that Haywood county has the homecourt advantage, and it is a very difficult place to play and definitely win.  It always seem darker in their gym then any other and it's very confining perhaps I suffer from all of the spacious facilities in our district.  A loyal fan can get spoiled.  The teams on that end (Fayette Ware, Covington, Ripley, Bolivar) their fans really get involved and can make life miserable for a visiting teams and in some cases, miserable for the opponents fans as well.

I guess when you get star players from Gibson Co, Halls, Dyersburg, etc you should be the number 1 coach.As for the girls team what did it take.Lets see A guy works for Dyersburg Electric.He had a daughter that was a star player at Dyersburg years ago.Coached AAU ball.Was named the Coach at 3 Oaks.Three Oaks changed their name from Eagles to Choctaws, took the Dyer Co colors and now are a feeder school for Dyer Co.Dyer Co hired him to be an assistant at Dyer Co..So he is able to get his Three Oaks players and talk to AAU players to go to Dyer Co.Wonder why Dyersburg didn't hire him.

I agree mrbigster..........that's a lot of manipulating around to get some wins.  Honestly, I don't think Dyersburg girls need any help, they seem to experience successful seasons just like they are.

    • 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. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
