Halls played lake co tough ..had them on the ropes. Congrats to lake co for the 46-40 win. Just have to say.The fans from. Lake co last nite where the RUDIST MOST INAPPROPRIATE FANS I have ever encountered for any age of football.

I thought Halls had the most talent from all the other teams that LC had played.Quarterback was very good passer.Scored first,from a long pass ,then got an onside kick and then LC centered the ball and hit the LC quarterback while QB wasnt looking.So Halls scored 3 quich touchdowns before LC could see what hit them.Much to LC credit,they came back.As for being rude,think most of it was Halls allowing a lot of their fans to sit on visitors sides.It's suppose to be home side and visitors for a reason.Also,I think most of it started when bald school official,maybe a high school coach,teacher from Halls was running on the Lake Co side hollering.On one play,Halls QB was running the ball and ran over a LC defense back and he started hollering,Way to run over him .I took offense to how he acted..Well it turns out that the  Halls QB took a very hard lick and didnt get up later in the game.I started doing to same thing saying hit em hard  so maybe it was me you saw.Also,as for being rude,Halls QB ran for a touchdown and let go of the ball at the goal line.Officials thought he let go before getting to the goal line.Several of the Halls fans,looked to be coaches or school personel was sitting in some chairs like a porch on the building.They started screaming that it was a touchdown and that all it had to do was touch the plane.Like LC fans are a bunch of idiots but I was there along side them and no way they could tell from where they were sitting if he crossed the plane or not.They werent even at midfield.So a lot was on the Halls people.I know.That's what fired me up and I made sure the bald dude saw me do and say the same thing he was doing.So,maybe Halls needs to sit on their own side.I thought it was a TSSAA policy.Maybe I need to check into that. with Gene Menes of the TSSAA.

HH,Wasnt trying to be rude to you.I have been behaving at all our games and am easy going but Lake Co football does get the best of me sometimes.Even at our coaches sometimes...lol.I should have just let it go when I heard him hollering.I do apologize.But anyway.Cant see how Halls lost to a couple teams they did.Very good quarterback,best middle school passer I've seen.Good receivers.Overall,an excellent team.High school team is improving as well.A lot of great things are happening at Halls.I love playing Halls high school.Has been a good rivalry for no telling how many years.I hope all our players stay together,shoould do well in Single A.Right now with UC.Trenton and Dresden,Single A is tougher than AA.But I'm hoping things level back out.Yall will be fine ,even in AA ball.

    • 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.
