Looking for brackets/schedules for all 5 divisions. If not schedules, then just a list of teams in each division.

 

 

I know the girls from Meigs County are supposed to play Springfield on Feb. 4th. I think it is in the 5a bracket. Can someone tell me how the divisions are decided ??...Meigs has never been there so this is all greek to us...

Classification is based on 8th grade enrollment. 5A is the largest division in the TNT Tournament. Any idea who Meigs Co. will be playing?

They play Springfield........I would think Meigs would be considered a SMALL school since they have only 140 something 8th graders......but, like I said, it's all greek to me......Do you know anything about Springfield's team?

There are usually alot of really small schools that participate in the TNT. The 1A division usually has 8th grade enrollments of about 10 - 35 students. It all depends on how many schools enter and are accepted (based on record) within certain enrollments.

 

Springfield is, of course, the host. I know the Springfield girls have at least two losses this year, both to Greenbrier Middle. Traditionally, they are a decent team, but as for how good they are this year, I'm not really sure.

Well thanks for the info.......Do you know who is traditionally the strongest of the strong in this tourney ??.....We have heard that White Co. is always real good....we are just now venturing out and playing a little out of our "little area"...

White County always has a good showing at Springfield. Another team that comes to mind is David Lipscomb, who I believe is like 14 - 3 this year. They are always in the 5A draw and are always pretty strong, especially with guard play. If I knew what all teams were in it this year, I would be able to help you out more.

Well in the 5a division is White Co., Greenbrier, DeKalb Co., David Lipscomb, Hickman Co., Springfield, Meigs Co., and the Sequatchie Valley Conference Champs (who is yet to be determined). Any info would be helpful...

So, Greenbrier Middle gets White Co. right off the bat, huh? Ooooh! They're a decent team, but play in a very weak conference (county). Went 13-0 till last night where they lost by 4 to Goodpasture. I'm sure White Co. will be tough.

 

Good little tournament and a money-maker for Springfield (Middle and local businesses). Excellent competition from all areas of TN. The real deal usually wins. Brackets are sometimes skewed 'cause Springfield Middle's boys coach runs it. He makes it tough on those he doesn't like or respect. Sorry to be negative, but it's the truth. Still a good tournament with lots of good ballplayers.

    • 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.
