For those of you that have an interest (probably none considering the response) the following is a report on the morning session as I could see it.

 

The matches started at 9:00 and as I drove into the parking lot at Siegel High School it was evident that everyone was there plus for it was about filled. After looking into the arena which had 4 matches to be played at the same time, from 9:00 to 3:00, both arenas had just about filled up as was the Middle School when I reached there and I thought, pretty good turnout for a High School JV/ Middle School Play Day. And as the day went on the attendance got better. All playing floors were filled with jumping, screaming, running, rolling players that only those associated with those age groups can appreciate and their coaches, a group of very good people whose job was to harness the energy of a large group of players on each roster. The rosters seemed larger than I imagined I might see. Some teams came in with 25 to 30 players. While I did not see all games or teams, I saw no roster less than around 18-20. VB must be attracting someone. This was a high energy event.

Overall skills were much better than anone I talked to imagined for some of these kids, probably on each team had played this summer and some hadn't. Someone had worked with a lot of the teams on serving as it was particularly brisk and there were a number of players, even in MS, that were spiking the ball with a lot of velocity. Those teams around the Boro seemed to have attracted a lot of players there as Lightening was mentioned. Even the smaller schools had players attending camps and some were even interested in pursuing the sport at a higher level. Setters were at a premium on most teams and there were a few really good setters even at this age. Somebody understood quickness and position because most every team seemed to recognize that. The coaches were exceptional in their demeanor and patience(which was particularly evident with this age group). Between matches I passed numerous meetings going on with a coach spending the time explaining what had happened while the players were getting a quick bite to eat. Which brings on another subject.

Siegel High School does nothing unless it is first class and this was so in every phase of the operation. Coach Slaughter knows how to put on an event of this type. The concession stand was not quite as good as Brentwood High at their VB sessions but it was close. Specially made Tees screened for the event were on sale in the most vibrant colors and one catchy one in particularly said "Welcome to the Slaughter House" and Siegel patrons were wearing those. officials, Siegel Players, were gad in irredesent yelow Tees and could be found easily along with the scorekeepers.

Teams who looked especially sharp, and I did not see all of them, were BlackmanMS, Stone MemJV,Avery TraceMS, lavergne, christiana, page, Cookeville, Siegel HS and Siegel MS among others.

This whole area has gained from this event and the excitement generated from it. It will make a lot of fans come back as the season progresses. The volunteers and parents the players deserve a pat on the back.

While things may change, transfers, etc but after the playday finished a concensus opinion is Page and Woodland seem to have a lot of potential in these age groups. As you might realize, predicting is tenuous at the best but its hard to take growth off when a JV is 6'2" and athletic as one of the players is but a lot of things can happen.

    • 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.
