We have non-conference games with LV (3/12, 3 PM (D.H. 7+5)), Boyd, Grace, DB and Temple including the last regular season game 5/5 with Temple at Engel Stadium. Non-conf schedule is not finalized and some games will be JV games.

 

SP should be much improved from last year when all but 1 starter was a 7th grader. We have a deep group of pitchers and enough talent to cover all 9 spots and a couple of kids have really improved their hitting. We scrimmage Grundy at home tommorrow at 11 AM.

I'm not sure what to expect from Bledsoe this year.... I haven't had the chance to talk to any of the parents...

Bledsoe always has a pretty good baseball team

 

We looked OK against Grundy. Since it was a scrimmage we pitched 7 different pitchers and they all threw OK. Hard to tell with just one innning. We made too many errors but nothing that can't be worked on. Hitting was surprising, it was definately a bright spot.

We played Seq on 3/15 and the first 4 innings were in the rain (nobody else in the valley, baseball or softball, played). It was tied 4-4 at the end of 3 and our pitcher had a bad inning score 4 on walks/passed balls in the 4th. With the rain finally stopping in the bottom of the 4th inning the ump then decides at the top of the 5th that the game would be over after 5 because of "field conditions". After playing 4 innings in the rain the ump decides when Seq is up by 4 that the field is suddenly too wet. We scored 3 but came up short 7-8. They went though 3 pitchers and we were blasting their #3 and our #1 pitcher was coming in next. If the ump lets it go we win this one. Of course if the ump tells us earlier he is calling it in 5 we pull the pitcher in the 4th and put in our #1. We were hitting so well that we wanted him (a 7th grader) to work through it and gain some confidence. We hit the ball very well and I don't think Seq had but 2 hits all night. Most, if not all, of their runs were unearned off of walks/passed balls and almost all of ours were earned. The 3/16 game at SP was not played because the field was too wet.

Basically we lost our first 2 games but played well and hit really good. Both game scould have easily gone our way. Pitchers are a little inconsistant but improving

Asst coach, you? Haven't heard anything, they may have been rained out?? We play our game with Seq that was rained out Fri at 5. To beat Seq you have hit decently (which we did) and have the pitchers get the ball across the plate (which we had mixed results with). The word is that Bledsoe is the team to beat this year. Let us know how you do against Seq. We are a much better team than last year and should be competitive with most teams.

I am an assistant as well. As far as the team to beat, time will tell, I think the district as a whole will be much improved. Sequatchie and Jasper have been the class of the district every year and until someone proves it on the field, they still are. "to be the man you have to beat the man". We'll see how it goes Tuesday.

IMO, Seq is not quite as good as they were last year. They had a bunch of 8th graders last year. I think Jasper will be off too. All their studs moved up to HS. I have seen this age group of kids playing all through LL so I have an idea of which teams should be tough and Bledsoe was always one of the better teams in this age group.

 

What does Bledsoe schedule look like? Can you post it?

Sequatchie Co. - 10

Bledsoe Co. - 3

 

We scored 3 in the first inning did not hit the ball well at all after that, Sequatchie kept chipping away and broke it in one inning with 6 runs. Hats off to Sequatchie. Like I said, till someone beats them, Sequatchie and Jasper are the class of the district.

 

We'll try it again Thursday.

Thanks for the score. I don't feel so bad about 8-7. Maybe Seq just had a bad game against us. Of course with this age group maybe you guys just had an off game. Let us know how Thursday goes. Maybe you can wear them down for our game on Friday

 

You hear anything about how Jasper is doing? We play them next week

    • 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.
