Westmoreland just scheduled it's first game of the season and it's a doozy. WHOA Nellie, we have the mighty sweat bees of Trousdale county game 1. What a way to kick off the season. Can Dillon Todd and Bailey Kirk along with Brandon Green and Hunter Crowson dominate the sweat bees behind the big line with the Harper twins, Israel Ward, and Belcher coming back to steamroll dlines again?

Even thought there were several seniors, many juniors (and few soph) got some quality play this year.  I hope they get that playoff taste in there mouth and go to work!  Every year provides a new type team, and this year is def going to be that.  

 

Postman, do you know who spring scrimmage, fall scrimmage is?

Motown has several key players back but, they will have to play iron man football. Last season they only had about 4 players that played both sides of the ball. I think next season that number could double. Those young men better be in good playing shape if that happens

Me and 64NB were saying the same thing this mourning. We also came to the conclusion that lots of the teams we will play probably play iron man football as well in 2a. You do make a good point. Last years team was very deep. It was pretty amazing depth for Westmoreland standards.

Hey Postman (or anyone that knows):

 

I noticed on the TSSAA Job board that the middle school needed an assistant, but no teaching slot available.  The thing that caught me off guard was that the post was by Jamie Akins????

 

I thought he was coaching at the varsity level?  I mean, I know his son is graduating, so are there changes going on with the staff?  What about Coach White?  He was the middle school coach, right?  But I always saw him on Fridays with the varsity as well.  Any other changes going on?

Westie could make some noise in their new classifican move. Not sure about their good running back, whether he returns next year or not. They peaked at the right time and if that carries over thru next year, they could be hard to handle.

I believe that Westmoreland will be in an interesting position for the next few years. You have to admit that for the last three years Westy has been very competitive in 3a with the likes of having to play teams like Whitehouse, CPA not to mention the other district teams which all were usually larger. Now comes the time to see if Westy can parlay this into serious contention for state titles in football. Dropping down does not automatically mean success. Look no further than Goodpasture to see how bad they screwed having almost guaranteed success in 2a into a complete Chinese fire drill of a program. Good luck, hope the fans in Westmoreland have well deserved success in the next few years.

I agree with this post. Even though my son graduated last season, these boys mean a lot to me and my wife. I'd love to see this bunch take the state. it would have been nice last season with Mason being a senior but It would be equally nice to see my hometown boys to do something no other Westmoreland team has ever done in football. That being said it won't be a cake walk freeby todo this. I just hope this bunch can keep it all together and stay on the same page. If they do that great things will happen this season. Lots of good kids on this team attitude wise. Dillon Todd is a humble hero. Bailey Kirk is also a good kid. I was thankful to get to be around these kids on Thursday nights the past couple of years and I'm planning on doing the same this season if possible. Edited by Mr. Postman1

    • 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.
