Region 4A Predictions

Recommended Posts

Trousdale County @ Clay County

Gordonsville @ Pickett County

Monterey @ Watertown

Jackson County @ Goodpasture

 

Personally feel Clay wins by however many they want. I got Pickett County by 12 since PC is probably one of the hardest places to play in the state especially in big games. Gordonsville has talent but I feel the home crowd will keep PC fired up.

 

Monterey has upset potential since they have already beat Watertown once but I think Watertown wins in a close one by 4-6. JC at Goodpasture is a rematch from last year where JC sent GP home on their home floor. This game also depends on which JC shows up. Will it be the one who beat Clay and Van Buren at home? I feel GP gets revenge and wins by 10 to set up a showdown with Clay in the semis.

Per CoachT scores Goodpasture beat Jackson County tonight 55-51. I thought all of the boys games took place tomorrow?

We played the game tonight as both of our teams played each other so it made economical sense to play this game tonight for all of us.

 

As for the game, well i'll just say that i lost a lot of respect for some referee's tonight and their ability to call a fair game.  I want someone to explain to me where it is written that when you go on the road you have to get the shaft on the calls?  15-3 was the foul count tonight in the 2nd half and the 3rd foul wasn't called until the end of the game.  I'm not saying that JC didn't foul 15 times but i guarantee you GP fouled just as much without a whistle.  We get 2 rebound's under our goal with 6 seconds left to go in the game, we're only down 2 and get absolutely hammered twice trying to put it back in and no call.  I'm sick of watching this type of refereeing by men that are supposed to call it fair.  I've watched and coached in hundreds of games and I know a foul or 10 when i see them  If its a foul in the first quarter if its a foul on the visiting team then that same foul should be called in the fourth quarter and on the home team.  I want someone to tell me where this "unwritten" rule is that you get the shaft as a visiting team just because you have to travel to another gym to play.  There is no way these men that called this game can justify what they did to the Jackson County boys tonight no way.  You notice i didn't say a word about the girls game right?  That's because for whatever reason they allowed the players in the girls game to decide the outcome and the best team won, Goodpasture girls.  I'm sick and tired of watching games like this.  They absolutely swallowed the whistle on the 2 put backs we had to tie the game up.  They absolutely decided not to call ANY FOULS against the home team and as a fan that is so very frustrating to me.  I just don't understand it but if they can sleep at night i can.  I"m not saying that JC would have won or should have won, the private school boys played hard and they are a solid team, however when you have to beat 8 and Jackson Co. for sure had to beat  8 tonight instead of 5 then it makes it much harder.  I promise you this, had the foul count been the other way around Jackson County would have won.  That much i do know.

Ah ok makes sense. Scores reflect a defensive game. Thoughts on a GP vs Clay since you have seen both?

Should be a good game.  The private school  is long and athletic, they've got some good post players and their point guard is solid.  They don't have anyone close to the level of Key so they cannot guard him in man  I look for them to pack in the zone and try to press and trap off the press. Should be a good game but in the end Clay is just better than them and i see Clay winning by 10 unless Clay's 3's are falling then it gets ugly because they'll have to play man and it will be a layup/dunk fest for Key if that happens.

Clay's shooting ability is underestimated. If Russell and Smith are hot Clay is very tough to beat as that creates so much space for Key to drive.

You're right but in my opinion the one that everyone underestimates on Clay's team is Atchlock.  This kid is good, i love the way he plays the game and he's only a freshman.  I'm looking forward to watching him match up against the bigs of the private school.  I'll say this if you box out you'll get some "push in the back" calls (notice i didn't say over the back because that's not a call)  but they do a great job crashing the boards and rebounding on both ends of the floor.  Had we had a crew that cared about the game we would have gotten at least 5 calls as they came over and through us tonight to get a rebound.

Concur. Kimes, Jake, Silk, Ogletree, and Emberton are all great young players. Clay will be a tough out for years to come even after this year seniors graduate.

    • 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.
