Not really.

 

Two struggling programs trying to find themselves. Will probably be a good matchup.

Interesting to me as I have interest at both schools. Mrs 44 worked at Cumberland County for a year and we lived in Powell. Never thought I'd see the match up. Edited by dkota44

Catholic schedules Maryville and Brentwood Academy a year to late. The Irish loose a lot of seniors that have played a lot games the last four years.

Know the feeling QLOU ... Fulton fans were saying same thing 2013- 2014 --- we waited 2 years  too long to get Maryville scheduled .. 2015 and 2016 were not strong teams for Fulton .. same for you guys .... Maryville is gonna be good every year ... KC and Fulton we have some peaks and valleys but Fulton has never shyed away from competition and KC hasnt either .. it will be some good games ..Id much rather watch us compete for 2 or 3 qtrs toe to toe with a Maryville than blowout a team .. Maryville gets you with depth and how well they run their system .. take control in 2nd halfs ... Irish do loose some very good Seniors but have alot of lineman and some skill guys coming back too .... DB's and WR's .. if those kids still attend KC after the rules change of no financial help allowed for Private schools playing in Public league.

Catholic losses a lot of key veterans and productive skill players to graduation.  With most of the O-line returning and good running backs in Fluker and Brown, the Irish should play smash mouth football but I don't see that happening,  It would have been interesting to see them play those teams last year (I'm not saying Catholic would have won or lost just exciting to see) but due to 2 year scheduling that wasn't possible. Next year will be tough replacing 7 starters on offense and 5 on defense. Will probably be some growing pains.

Agree with you on what KC should do ..I would pound rock and run time  ... with the big line and big back .. Fulton really gonna be rebuilding ... they only have 2 OL or DL that have played any at all and neither started .. they lost all 5 OL starters , plus Mobley and Dobson  and on defense all  DL starters and MLB Mobley .. so gonna be very thin .. teams will probably line up and run at them .. I would if I was a coach ... this is a year where ya says " where's the beef " ?? They aint none .. I think the 2 kids that were a frosh and a soph weigh about 230 each ... small in todays HS lines ....

If we could combine Catholic's line with Fulton's skill player we'd have one heck of team next year lol

    • 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.
