QUOTE(GREENEDEVILMOM @ Feb 19 2007 - 04:34 PM) 826379501[/snapback]Whats the outlook for the IMAC in 2007?

 

 

1. Morristown East

2. Morristown West

3. Greeneville

4. Cherokee

5. Jeff County

6. Cocke County

 

It will be tough for Morristown East to win the conference this year with a new coach again but they feel like they have something to prove and will be tough come tournament time. Morristown West will also be very good as they have key starters Logan Wild, Erik Hazelwood, and Austin Bridgewater who are all pretty good ball players. West will give East a run for it's money. After West, it pretty much falls off. All of the teams have gotten better (with the exception of Jeff County which lost a bunch of great senior leaders). Still though, the main competition will be between rivals East and West. Look for Greeneville to surprise a couple of people this year. It looks like they will be battling an improving Cherokee team for third place. As for Cocke County....... best of luck.

Word has it that there are disciplinary (one individual) problems within the GHS baseball team. This is the same individual that was dismissed from the football team with two games remaining this past year. It will be interesting to see if this individual is allowed to play or even stay at GHS. Sports are not a necessity; only the students that conduct themselves in a postive manner should be allowed to participate. Cancers spread if they are not terminated. It will be very interesting to see how this is handled by the GHS administration.

I do believe Morristown west will pull it out, but i do believe Cocke county may surprise some people. Cherokee won't be bad either.

QUOTE(lakeway man @ Feb 26 2007 - 08:49 PM) 826390806[/snapback]Id have to say west should be the favorite they have a good infield and plenty of pitching,east is talented but i heard morgan may not play?anybody know about greenville/

 

 

 

 

Where did u hear that morgan may not be playing? Why would he not play?

 

 

Greeneville will be ok. if they lose Greenway it will be not as good, but they still have Cutshaw but hes not able to pitch every game.

 

 

Also, have heard that Wild has had a lil arm trouble, will that limit his pitching for the 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.
