How much snow fell in Springfield? Does anyone know when/how they will reschedule?

 

From what I have been told, the tournament has been extended an extra weekend. Some games were played this past Friday, but none of the Saturday games were played. The tournament should have postponed all games this weekend until next weekend, so as to keep the schedule the same, just one weekend later. However, TNT once again chose to make things a little more difficult then they had to be.

Hmmm...I was told no games were played on Saturday due to the large amount of snow in Robertson County. I guess I got fed some wrong information. I'm not surprised by the outcomes of the Allons' games, what about Hilham?

I have been told that the Meigs vs. Lipscomb game which was postponed last Sat. will be played this Sat. at 6 o'clock. Not sure if that is gospel, though.

Ptguard12's TNT Predictions

 

1A

 

Monteagle over Lobelville - A rematch of last year's semifinal game in which Lobelville won by 1. This year, however, Monteagle holds the edge with the returning of 4 starters from last year while Lobelville returns only their leading scorer from the tournament last year.

 

2A

 

Allons over Winner of Linden/Rutherford - The best game in this bracket could be the semi-final matchup between Linden and Rutherford as both teams boast solid starting lineups. The winner should give Allons all they want in the finals.

 

3A

 

Rickman over Red Boiling Springs - 3 of the top 4 teams in this group are in the lower part of the bracket in Red Boiling Springs, McEwen, and Pickett County. Red Boiling Springs would have dominated this tournament with Leonard but they can expect some trouble without her. However, the defending 2A champions should get through to the finals where they will have to overcome Rickman in the Championship Game.

 

4A

 

University School of Jackson over Forrest - The undefeated private school girls from Jackson will coast to the final where they will get a test from the 2-time defending champions from Chapel Hill. However, the Forrest Lady Rockets just don't seem to have the same kind of firepower they have had in previous years, so I don't see them keeping up with a very good USJ team.

 

5A

 

White County over Meigs County - There is no reason to believe that White County won't once again win this division with their up-tempo offense and smothering defense. Meigs County should present a good test to the defending champions, that is if they can get by their semi-final opponent.

 

Well, I was correct on the 2A bracket, though Rutherford should have played Allons closer then 20 points. Linden might have matched up better with Allons since strong guard play seems to be the theme for both teams.

 

1A was a complete bust as Ethridge completely shocked me in their upset of Monteagle. I wasn't nearly as surprised with the McFadden win over Lobelville, though the entire 1A bracket seemed to be fairly weak this year. I can't imagine what Allons would have done to these teams had they played in the 1A bracket like they have the past 2 years.

 

As for the other 3 brackets, all of the teams I predicted are still alive. The schedules have changed somewhat with some teams being swapped around in one of the brackets, but I'm going to stick with my original picks. If it wasn't for the weather, all of this would have been decided by now. Good luck to the remaining teams.

Did White County and Greenbrier play last night ? And, if so, who won ?

 

Yes, well, White Co. played (39). Greenbrier just kinda came for a visit (23). It was awful. If it was a movie, it would be called "Some Girls Playin' Scared."

 

The team should be ashamed for not playing harder. Being off so long without a game and having the same old game plan hurt. It could be worse, I guess (nobody got hurt and everyone appears to be healthy, except for a few ailing hearts). And there's always next year...blah, blah, blah.

 

Congrats to White Co., though. They came a long way, in the middle of a school week and deserved to win. They also didn't have many fans. Greenbrier's, however, showed up BIG time, once again, just like they did all year.

    • 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.
