Yea the other 2 teams r great teams as well. Seen Ca shut Eagleville down. But that won't happen when u play Waverly . R Qb is the best qb u have seen all year. Great player makes great reads and also doesn't turn the ball over. We have good wrs all the way around and a great RB. Defense steps up when they have too

Our defense really impressed me tonight. Really only one major slip up at the beginning. There were others, but they were wiped away by the D coming away with turn overs. Got me very optimistic as we grind deeper into these playoffs!:)

Like I've said all year, the defense has improved but when you have a high power offense that's on the field for less than 5 plays per possession, the defense will get tired. But at the same time when mercy rule starts early in the 3rd, you gotta let the future get some experience which equals extra points against ya. Let em keep thinking we have a weak defense, they still have to try and stop the offense!

I don’t think necessarily y’all have a weak defense, but I do know it definitely isn’t as strong as last year. Yalls offense just far outhshadows your defense. But CA has a great defense. They aren’t gonna let you pass all over or run all over them like other teams y’all have played this season. Our offense is definitely not as high powered as Waverly, but they can score at will as well. They just like to instead run the clock down a lot, and pound the ball down the other teams throat. This is gonna be a great game.

A defense like we had last yr are few and far between. I feel like we have faced 4 teams that is on .CA level of play and two that I think are better. Going to be another long week can't wait.

None of the teams we played LET our O run and pass all over them its just what we do. Not saying we cant be stopped but it will take a 1 on 1 effort from a defense to shut us down. Not gonna predict a score but with it being a 3rd round game it should be a good close game. Curios if CA field is turf of grass? and how good is the visitors side bleachers? Ive never been there.

Great facility there when we played last year. Looks like Trump Towers behind their bleachers. A decent amount of away seating.

I hate CA as much as anybody but I respect where they have gotten their program to. I said early on that I thought Waverly would win this side of the bracket and go to Cookeville but there's some good teams left and I won't be surprised if it ain't CA moving forward. Waverly, CA, UC and Peabody all capable of winning it all

    • 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.
