well lets see if father ryan can take it this year.

I can't wait but whoever wins it will be a great game. I have one request of all. I promise if JP wins I will be a gracious winner if Ryan fans promise to be gracious winners. Well I will be a gracious person anyway regardless; it is new resolution.

 

How does Ryan's line look? Some of the kids that I see are starting I remember from middle school. They didn't have quick feet then but you know things change in high school.

When was the last time you saw anyone from Ryan you would really call "quick"? That is one of the problems they have had in the past, they do not have any speed, but I might add against Ravenwood #3 was as fast and quick as I have seen in many years.

Honestly JP2 has speed. I think every receiver runs in the 4.5(+/- 0.1) range. All of them are on the track team. We have got some good speed at linebacker and some of the Oline run 5.0(+/- 0.1).

 

I thought that Ryan beat Ravenwood in the scrimmage Friday. I heard the "score" was 15-10 Ryan. True?

Father Ryan did win 15-10.

 

I was able to watch all 4 of Tates TD's in their week 0 game. On all of them it looked like the defense just kind of let him go and didnt really try to get any good hits on him. They just kinda let him run by. Father Ryans D im sure will make those TD's a little harder come Friday. Now sure Tate will have a couple of big playes no way around it.

 

Now on the other side of the ball. That 2 minute drill the Irish ran to win the Ravenwood scrimage was VERY impressive. If they can play like that for the whole game they will put themselves in a very good position to win. The one thing I notice, as well as everyone else in the stans, was how big of holes the O-Line was making. If they can make those wholes everyplay it will give those Ryan running backs a lot of room to run, and as they showed on Friday all they need is a little room to turn a big play. The Irish will also need to get the passing game more involved. They have a couple of good WR who can make plays when given the chance.

 

 

No doubt this will be a hard game for Father Ryan. JPII is a good team with a lot of talent. This years game will come down to who wants it more. Last year JPII wanted it more, all it took was a return from Tate in the 2nd half to take the life out of the Irish.

 

 

look forward to a GREAT game

Im not so sure if it would be Wesley. Last year i saw him in the Father Ryan vs JPII JV game and he was not that impressive. So unless he has made a LARGE improvement in the offseason I would still say that his brother is more of a threat.

Little Tate was also a freshman last year and had about 4 touches on the ball in the Ryan game. Believe it or not Golden was not so "golden" his freshman year. In fact there were several games where he only played a very few snaps. There is only one 2007 senior who started both ways as a freshman and one who started on defense as a freshman and neither of them was Golden. Little Tate is going to be good. Even if this is not his breakout game...it IS coming.

    • 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.
