The 99 MBA team was better than the 00 team.

I'll second that.

 

That 1999 MBA team was spectacular in what is usually a very balanced league. To put that team's accomplishments in perspective, in the eight years of the "Super 7", seven of the eight champions either lost a league game along the way or had at least one league victory decided by 3 points or less. The other champion was the undefeated 1999 MBA team, which won all league games by at least 30 points during the regular season and saw its closest league game during the playoffs - a 28-point victory over McCallie in the semifinals.

You got that right.  I still can't believe we blew a 16-0 lead.

me too...Blackman woulda been in state finals if yall would have won that game.

I think I remember seeing the stats from '04 Riverdale team to '94 team and I believe the '94 team actually allowed fewer points than the '04 team. Alvin Duke also had about 50 TD"s that year by himself

I MIGHT BE WRONG BUT i think ralph king broke alvins TD record someone correct me if i am wrong ... i think you are right on the defensive stats but it wasmt by many points ....i do not think blackman would have beaten i think it was Seveir County in the semi finals before the championship game they probably would not have turned the ball over 5 times like we did that night and we still won by 11 didnt we? i know i know it was a late TD by ralph king with about 2 minutes to go but it was still 11

well just look at all the college talent on the 94 team: Alvin Duke, Antron Peebles, Fernando Bryant, Gerald Griffin. All of those guys signed division scholarships, with Griffin and Bryant having good college careers. The numbers maybe close, but to me the amount of talent that riverdale in 94 is the tiebreaker

David Coppeans signed with vandy and there was one more that signed a D1 and i cant remeber who it was also eric locke was on that team and corey carney went on to play at samford so i agree individual talent was definatly there but we are talking TEAM and as far as TEAM i am leaning torwards this years team however it is hard to say you are wrong so i wont but it is good we are talking about how great some of these RIVERDALE teams were hopefully in 2005 will be better than all of them GO WARRIORS

I thought it was Soddy Daisy or Ooltewah (someone down in Chatt) that played the winner of the '01 quarterfinal between Blackman and Riverdale.

Im pretty sure Riverdale won by 4 17-13. Thats why we didnt go for a field goal inside the 5 because it still woudla been a 6 point game and a TD could still win it for Riverdale. I believe it was Dave Thomas that made the game saving tackle inside the 5 yd line that stopped Blackman from scoring after Rico busted that one loose to put Blackman in that position.

I want to say Alvin Duke had either 43 or 49 TD's that year and if so I dont see how King broke that record but I'm not sure on it.

    • 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.
