QUOTE(3pointer @ Mar 4 2007 - 08:05 PM) 826399855[/snapback]you see i just thought you were being a homer when you said upperman over NS

 

then i read where you say Austin East is a Dark Horse and now I think that the elevator may stop just a few floors from the top

 

NS and AE are your last two Silver Ball winners

 

AE two years ago and they still have their top two players on their team from back then, will beat Lipscomb easier than NS will beat Upperman

 

Ask your Upperman players what the 4th place 13AA team Obion did to them in a halloffame or playday game (cant remember which one it was) ........... Hint: it got ugly in a hurry like 20+ before half

 

NS spanked Obion last week

 

so for you to talk about the quality of teams NS has played just means y'all havent been to the big dance in so long you don't even know who's good anymore

 

but i'm done on this thread, and i won't even rub it in your face with an "I told you so" Thursday, because obviously you just haven't done your homework

This is not a playday game this is real. Just b/c somebody wins a hall of fame game don't make them the best team in the state. If NS beats Upperman then they have beaten one of the best teams in the state. We'll see.

QUOTE(sdj38544 @ Mar 4 2007 - 08:27 PM) 826399885[/snapback]Upperman has not played Obion County this year. Their only losses were Shelbyville, Livingston, and

York with the flu sitting several in the last 2.

 

 

I think he's talking about 2 years ago in some tournament. I believe they beat a few teams up from this area and haven't gotten over it just yet. This is not the same Upperman team 2 yrs. back.

 

I just wonder what happen to his Dyersburg team. I guess when your team don't make the dance you have to come with someone else. Jump on the bandwagon 3 pt man.

QUOTE(58Indians22 @ Mar 4 2007 - 09:10 PM) 826399952[/snapback]Any fan from region 7AA is welcomed to jump on the North Side bandwagon. Since we are the strongest region in the state, the teams have great respect for each other. We welcome all of you with open arms and hope to have your support during the tournament.

 

If any fan from this region jumps on NS bandwagon then they must be a sore loser. Are you basing that strongest region on this year or last year or what ? Apparently you are saying that on this year b/c top to bottom the teams from this area have been more successful over the last 30 years than your teams. I would say LA has more Gold and Silver than all your teams combined.

 

But that was yesterday and has no meaning what so ever on this tournament. Who cares which region is this or that. I'm just trying to enjoy the success my team has had thus far, b/c nobody gave them much of a chance on getting out of the region much less making it to the state. I hope our team has that story book finish that the 2005 LA Football Team had on their way to the Gold Ball. Just win baby

I must have missed something here. I thought you went to the state tournament this year based on how you played this year. Stop living in the past. Region 7AA is the best in the state and we play hard against each other and have a lot of respect for each other. I know many fans of this region are supporting the North Side Lady Indians and hoping that we bring the Gold Ball home to the region.

QUOTE(Rocking Chair @ Mar 4 2007 - 02:40 PM) 826399465[/snapback]I don't believe I would just give the title to Northside just yet. They have to play Upperman who have been in the top 2 or 3 all year. Then the winner must face DL girls who have been very competitive the past several years or dark horse Austin East. I have heard about AE all year and here they are playing for a chance for the gold. In the other bracket LA and Marshall Co. are no strangers to this tournament. BTW to my knowledge is making their first apperance but have had a good season thus far. The team that I would lookout for is Stone Memorial. They are a new school about 2 yrs old from Cumberland Co. and they have been real impressive with their play. They beat Elizabethton last night and anybody that knows anything about that program knows that it wasn't an easy chore. Good luck to all teams and especially to LA.

 

 

 

This AA tourney has the makings to be a great one. I believe those who have been to Murphy Center before, have a slight advantage (i.e. Upperman from lower bracket, Livingston from upper) although the Northside team seems to be coming in with a head of steam. The Upperman- NS winner advances to face IMO "a wide-open" upper bracket advancee.

 

Secondly, Stone is brand new ( first year open), not about 2 yrs old. They do have alot of talent, especially on the perimeter and the old saying is Defense and "Guard Play" takes you farthest in the post-season. They could get on a run and make some noise, but I am just waiting to see how they handle their first ever trip to the 'Boro.

QUOTE(dctigerfan07 @ Mar 5 2007 - 11:23 AM) 826400474[/snapback]I wont hand the gold ball to the Lady Bees yet but when i wacthed NS last year they couldnt seem to keep up witht the other team's speed. (It was hillsboro i THINK) And the Lady Bees play this exact same pace. I just dont think NS will be able to keep up and keep the turnovers down. Upperman by 5.

 

 

I am not quite sure what game you watched last year, but it was only a 1 point game with less than a minute to go. NS had to foul and it eventually ended with Hillcrest up by 5. It was a great Championship game. Just keep thinking that you have it all and if you come out on top after Thursday we say congrats and good luck. But the Lady Indians are for REAL.

    • 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.
