Crush Arsenal who won state last year beating TNFC in the finals. I know these two teams will play in the finals together no doubt, its just a matter of...will TNFC come to play. Cause if they do...then their unbeatable in the state of Tennessee. But..last year they didnt come to play and Crush took advantage and dominated the game. I say close game but TNFC wins 2-1

QUOTE(R.U.R. @ May 30 2007 - 01:35 PM) 826469091[/snapback]where are regionals this year? and will u18 impact even go if they make it/? since everyone will just be going to college and i guess it doesnt really matter anymore

 

 

I think regionals are in Oklahoma this year. Impact has already earned a bid to be there, by winning the Premier League. They will not be attending though, not even if they win state.

Memphis FC U-17 Boys just won the Memphis Invitational Tournament U-18 bracket.

They beat a very solid Springfield, IL 90 and 89 club in doing so.

They don't play U-17 tournaments any more. Fury and MFC (two semi-finalists last year) came together.

All due respect to TNFC and Crush, but they haven't beaten MFC by more than one goal for two years.

Crush and MFC tied at state last year.

Clearly, TNFC and Crush are better teams.

But, as our CBHS boys know, the better team does not always win.

 

Good luck to all of the teams.

As always it depends on which teams can get their form back quickly. Some high schools are still having their end of the season banquets. No predictions, but there should be some surprises this year.

 

U-14: TNFC, KFC, TN Rush

U-15: Anybody, Select should be the favorite going into the tournament.

U-16: Anybody, all teams are equal and have been for a while.

U-17: TNFC, KFC, MFC, PSA, ERSA, don't know who the sixth will be.

U-18: Anybody, depends on who has something to play for this year.

u-14 - TNFC (won the R3PL) or TN Rush

u-15 - This is the most open group in the tournament, East TN, Eastridge, Gryphons, TNFC, Memphis, TN Rush anybody could win.

u-16 - Should be Kickers or KFC, but could be a surprise from Middle TN

u-17 - TNFC or KFC, MFC and PSA may push them close but they are a level below

u-18 - Could be anybodies, depends which players are really bothered.

    • 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.
