To the siegel players- great job at the Rotary. Im hoping that we can play yall again this year, we never got to finish our last match at MBA and I would love to play you guys again. I hope that the acts of some of our players *will* dont bring bad blood between our teams.

Are yall going to the Carter Invitational in late April? Good luck in AAA

I do remember playing USJ and seeing that they had a good team. We developed a small rivalry with USJ just at the Chattanooga Rotary Tournament...

 

When we played Jackson at the beginning of the year, (Siegel) was missing a player. Also, Guerra was played at number 3 for some reason? Colton Norton won a close match at the two spot and Kyle Wishing defeated Will Magee at the one spot. I gues the lineups at Rotary were the official lineups for the remainder of the season? I can say that Kyle did not play a good match against Guerra, if they played again I'm sure it would be much closer.

 

Siegel won't be in the Carter this year...we have a Tri-Match with Webb-Knox, Trinity, and another school later in the month

I will say that someone needs to explain to Will how to play tennis without hooking...that stuff wont work in college if he is going to UTM. He got a pretty bad reputation from all the schools at Rotary that I talked to. (TN High, Science Hill, Brentwood). Guerrera is a good player, I wish him and Kyle could play again, not that I think Wishing would win just want to see both of them at the top of their game. Would be entertaining.

That being said, USJ should roll through A-AA from what I saw last year at state. I assumed they were in D2 since they were a private school but the hardest tests you have left are the Carter Classic and after that it is smooth sailing to a state title in A/AA.

nation_supp89, Im guessing you play for siegel, what number do you play?

 

when we played yall for the first time we were still experimenting with our lineup.

 

Our lineup as of now is

1. Lucas guerra

2. Will Magee

3. Colton Norton

4. Hunt Magee

5. Ben Gaines

6. Frank Crocker

 

I do play for Siegel...but our lineup right now may change so I won't disclose that info

 

If USJ and Siegel played right now tihs is how i think it would play out

 

1) USJ

2) USJ

3)USJ

4)Siegel

5)Siegel

6)Siegel

 

Also, I'd like to know from a player at USJ if you agree that Will does indeed hook players? Every match I've watched he's made flagrant bad calls on lines

will makes good calls.

He told me today that he never tries to cheat anyone. He's a good player.

 

Since in tennis we call all of our own shots, we are human and there will be a few bad ones on both sides.

 

90% of people, if the ball is extremly close to the line, will give the opponent the benifit of the doubt

 

10% wont. and will is in that category.

 

 

 

Its also kind of funny that he hasnt had any controversy with any other team but siegel :(

Posting on someone elses name here but...

Ask Science Hill and Tennessee High about that. Will went 3 sets with one of them not sure which one and I talked to one of them after and you would change your tone of only Siegel if u heard what he said. I believe they tried to get a line judge but nobody would be a line judge for them if i remember correctly...so that statement of only Siegel has problems with him.....is completely false.

lord yes, he is a very good soccer player but it gives me a heart attack everytime he plays.

 

He is playing in like 2 more games then he is done and just playing tennis.

 

 

 

Im not trying to direct this thread as a hate message against will. It would be appreciated if you would just comment on us as a team and not just focus on the faults on one of our players.

 

Thanks guys

    • 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.
