Son! Do you think you might possibly be able to get past the first round of the tournament this year? 

If we still had last year's team, we'd be 15 better than you all....Probably 5 better with this unit  :popcorneater:

Seriously tho, I'm not sure Meigs will be in the mix this year...I was leaning more toward you all & Harriman in sub-state games....What say you?

We are 3-2 with 4 games against 6A schools. We beat Farragut (without Arnold) and Oakland. We lost Beardon by like 10 and Arnold had 6pts playing with 104 fever (didnt know this until after the game) Honestly as his dad I was glad the team had to play without him or sick the first two games. It showed the resolve of our youngsters and other veterans. Arnold is a big part of this years plans but he cant do it alone. Its a team game and if these guys all embrace their roles they will get back. We have several really good players besides Arnold. He is a spoke in the wheel. Coach Doig Turns the whole wheel!

 

If the boys want it they have no excuses not to get it. They have the team to compete. I told Connor last night hiw much I love Russell Westbrook because he plays Angry and Hard every game vs Either the Midways or the Meigs. Thats a mindset

 

Harriman scares me the most. Athletic every game. Sporatic shooters catch them hot ask Farragut ( 77-55 Harriman won)

 

Its no cake walk for GCA boys. Everybody wants some

We know that feeling!

If we play well to regionals, one way or the other, we play one of you two...And we will need to put together 4-qtrs of dang good basketball to have a shot...That's how I see it.

 

My 3rd one is just a freshman....Over 6' and LONG, but I'm not sure I see him being in the mix this season...The next 3 years? For sure!

I've seen Harriman mentioned 2 or 3 times. I know they have two quality players, but did they add to them? Because to be honest their MS team has been very sketchy 3 out of the last 4 years and I think they lost 13 or 14 games last year, even with Pace and Johnson (right name?).  I'm sure they'll be top 3 in district 3a, is that about it for them? Out 1st or 2nd region game, just like usual...

yeah your alls schedule hasn't helped, but down the road the experience of playing those teams will. Especially if you get healthy. Any one from South Greene On here? is their schedule right? No wins so far but they have played a gauntlet. Elizabethton, science hill, Tennessee high a trip to the Bahamas and science hill again.

It may be the first of the new year before any of us have an idea on how good South Greene will be this year. They have some outstanding underclassmen who should begin to play into things as the season progresses. One of their seasoned, senior, starters, Hall, was injured in a car accident. I wouldn't expect him to play until January or even later, And one of the freshman who I would expect to see in the lineup is injured. They have a rough road through Christmas, even without the injuries, as they have mostly, very good, AA and AAA schools on the schedule.

    • 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.
