Might as well get it started. Who are your picks for 7AA MVP and Coach of the Year? Remember, we are praising those who have done well, not bashing anyone. So, don't be negative. Lets keep the thread open.

I know that I am a LA fan, but thats not why I am going the way I am.

 

MVP-Chase Dunn-LA: This kid has been unstopable all year long. His average points per game has to be close to 20. But, not only can he score, he is vital to his teams success. He gets everyone involved. Take him away from the Wildcats and I am not sure if they win 5 games all year. Thus, he is the "Most Valuable Player".

 

Coach of the year- Richard Melton-LA: I am not choosing him just because he is winning and coaching one of the top teams in the district either. This is a young coach who has a VERY young team. He lost alot of talent last year. Lost several starters. He only has 1 senior on the team this year and only 2 juniors. The rest are all sopmores and freshmen. That is a young team. This young coach has led his very young team to the top of the district once again. He has his team in a great position to win their region this year. That is why he is my "Coach of the Year".

Dunn MVP

 

Martin/Welch co-coaches of the year

 

 

 

Just an opinion but I think Dunn because of his ability to create offense and score on any defense that has been thrown at him. I have seen pretty much all his games and I think everyone in the district has a hard time guarding him.

On Welch and Martin I think maybe because these guys have developed their programs into teams that can beat anybody in this district. I saw the Macon v Livingston game and we trailed the whole game and they took us to OT before we pulled it out. Since Welch has been at Macon they have made strides every year and I believe they are 17-7 this year playing York tonight to get to third place possible. Martin has done the same. He is a great game coach from what I have seen and gets the most out of his team. I hate to put words in anyone's mouth but it's just my opinion. Honestly, I think for Coach of the Year you could put all seven coaches in a hat and draw. From top to bottom, this district is as balanced as I have seen it in years. If you look at Cannon Co, they have several losses by just a few points in the District. The tournament will be fun this year and can't wait to see it.

Dunn... By far the player of the year. He is the player I have noticed having the most effect on the games LA plays.

 

Coach... I say Welch would be a fine pick. Macon started off slow, but has picked it up as of late. A lot of that is due to the coach keeping morale high I would say.

Bass- DeKalb

 

Welch/ Martin Also

 

If Dekalb dont have bass they are down toward the bottom in the district. Also, each time dunn has played DeKalb they have held him in check with 13 and 12. While bass has scored more than him both times.

 

Martin/ Welch

 

Welch for Macon has his team Peaking at the right time and has come from behind both times to beat them by 1 , and that shows he has his players mentally tough which is a hard thing for a choach to do. While DeKalb's Martin is just an all round good coach, but for some reason his players arent playing hard, but i dont think it is him. He has split with upperman and livingston. Also welch lost stinson and DeKalb lost hooper and Randolph they are both fairly young with having very few seniors

only reason dunn had 12 the last dekalb game is he was hurt and played limited mins, Dunn MVP averagin 20+ a game, Melton coach of the year, doing what hes done with one senior and 2 juniors an the rest underclassmen, find another coach in the district that can do that, and like he has done it

    • 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.
