OK... we all know that top to bottom, 11AAA is the most competitive in the state. Never more illustrated than when Ravenwood made it's run to State last year. Will there be any surprises this year? Is Brentwood as good as all the love they are getting from the "Poll Master"? Let the "banter" begin!

For a number of years, 11AAA has been one of the hardest, if not the hardest, district/region in the state to come out undefeated due to the strenghth of the top 3-4 teams each year. There have been more State Championships won by teams in this district than any other public school district in the state. No other district is even close.

I guess I misunderstood the original post. I was poking fun at the first sentence of the post, not the second sentence. All in good fun of course.

 

 

The intent of the post is that you can take the a team that does not even make the semis in the 11AAA tourney and make the finals in many, if not most district tourneys. That team would have been Independence last year. Consider that IHS beat Centennial and lost to Bearden (State Champ) 1-2, and you have a hard time debating the "top to bottom" statement. I will agree that the 11AAA teams have uner-achieved in Chattanooga the past few years. But make a better argument for another district.

 

An off night or an untimely injury can turn the top five 11AAA standings upside-down. Ask Brentwwood & Centennial!

I won't debate the post, it is a very strong district. District 4AAA is set in stone and probably will be until I retire.

Agree! I am assuming you don't retire for a few decades. I can't even imagine what other team in 4AAA could pull of an upset of Bearden or Farragut. That is the case with almost any other district in the state. Two "Goliath's" and a bunch of hopeful "Davids".

where is alyssa curtis going to school

 

let me give a example of the craziness of 11AAA last year

 

shelbyville beat centennial 6-1 then centennial turns around and beats brentwood 2-0 and finally brentwood kills shelbyville 7-1

 

tullahoma got beat by all 3 teams(3-0 shelbyville, 2-0 centennial scrimmage and 1-0 brentwood)i thought brentwood was better than the other 2 teams

 

just think how hard my job is

I agree that it is top-bottom strength. When you have 5 teams that can win and/or pull the upset and advance (Franklin, Brentwood, Centennial, Independence and Ravenwood), that makes the season very interesting. Is there another district with that type of strength?

 

Anyone know the real reason that Charlie West was let go as the coach at Ravenwood? The Principal said that she was getting rid of non-teaching coaches.

I know that WCS is putting the heat on all scholl admin. folks to push for teachers to be the first choice for the secondary sports to cut down on cost and liability. Wouldn't surpise me if the push is for all TSSAA sports to have county faculty coaches w/in the next 2 years.

 

no they were cutting down on coaches who work for other school systems

 

you can still have non-faculty coaches

    • 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.
