Good luck to the Lady Cats on another run to the finals this year 5-Sport! Sure have missed all the action since Jess graduated, but have kept up somewhat on here.

 

I'll be hoping for the champion to come out our district but if not it is what it is...

 

Thanks! Good to hear from you, Jess' Dad. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Hope things are going good for you and your family.

 

And I'm hopin' the champ doesn't come out of your district. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

 

Hope all you want, now that Catholic is out there is no one standing in Greenbrier's way. It will be an all green halloween. 5-Sport Dad has predicited a repeat all season and he is going to get his wish. It will be a surprise if Greenbrier drops a game from here on out.

 

Not true! Show me the quote...and please don't put words in my mouth.

 

For all to see: We're just playin' one game at a time. Respect all, fear none!

 

Go Lady Cats!

I will be there i enjoyed watching the girls play last night at watertown. I was really surprised at how quick the final three matches happened. But they looked like there ready for a run at the gold ball again this year. The little number 12 girl caught my attention man she was killing the ball last night. The twins looked awesome as always. Well good luck the rest of the way. Hope you win it all. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

 

 

 

Number 12 is Nina Dever. She is the best-all around athlete at Greenbrier, period. Actually, softball is her #1 sport, then basketball, then volleyball. She was Robertson County basketball player of the year this past season(her Sophmore year). Keep up with her in all 3 sports and you will be glad you did. She is a great young lady inside and out. I am not her parent, but definitely one of her biggest fans. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

/roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> If she hits a softball half as good as she hits a volleyball i bet she awesome at it. But I have to say one thing about all the kids and the coach. The ones i talked to at district games were nice friendly and there parents should be proud of them they done a great job raising them. And the coach was friendly and respectful also. Most of the time when a team or coach wins regularly they get that cocky attitude. Its like 5 Sport dad said respect all and fear none that pretty well spells out how they play.Good luck girls we will see yall next year on the court.

I think the "prophecy" that no one is standing in Greenbrier's way is about a 90% given with or without Catholic in the mix. I am, of course, a HUGE Catholic volleyball & school fan, but am not blinded by it. Greenbrier is and has been the BIG and ONLY favorite since winning it all last year. So, the "prophecy" is one everyone else already knew about.

 

As for the "hope all you want" comment... you obviously don't know me (or maybe as well as you think you do). Anyone who really knows me and the pride I had/have in the Catholic program wouldn't disrespect me or my logically concluded comments about the state tournament now that Cathoic is out of the mix. I respect Coach Jones and his efforts more than even he realizes. Considering the 1.8 mulitiplier, he has done a Superman job developing the talent to compete and win. He has excited the entire school staff/student body in what was before a player's parents only event.

 

Lastly, thanks...last post!

 

Good Luck Everyone

Just a"GOOD LUCK" from a Trousdale County Voleyball Mom! I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this team play this year. You have a very talented group of young ladies that I hope to see win back-to-back championships. Can't tell you how thrilling it's ben to see the Arnold twins play the past couple of years. The Lady Cats are a class-act team with a well-respected coach.

 

By the way, where are the Arnold girls going to college????

As one parent of one player on the team, all I can say is that all of these 'well wishes' are very much appreciated. You never know how you are perceived as a competitor, but your comments help confirm what we teach: Always respect others...especially your opponents. Our girls are not perfect, but they are expected to play hard on the court and to show class and be ladies off of it.

 

I am proud to be a part of this group of players and parents.

Greenbrier has once again brought home another regional championship. This community is really proud of our girls. They selected an all region team. Congradulations to the Arnold twin towers, always deserving. I was captivated by the lady who asked an old assistant coach how the tournament team was selected. I didn't hear the reply but the lady who asked the question then asked who was on the committee. Once again, I didn't hear the reply. Then the lady who was asking all the questions said, PITIFUL, absolutely PITIFUL. She was all for the TWIN TOWERS selection, but balked at the other choices. Yes I know it is a free country, and not to take away from the honors to the other two players that were selected, but what about the Devers girl? She played a hec of a tournament, was recognized as an all district player. The other player, #32, played a hec of a tourney too. As a spectator, were these committee members watching the same game I was? Then it dawned on me, I'm in Greenbrier, land of the free, home of the "I've got your back!" Don't you just love small towns? Kudos to the woman who had enough backbone to balk the system, and, she had really big hair too.

Way to go Lady CATS!!! Region Champs and climbing the ladder!! Greenbrier is PROUD of you girls!!

 

 

(Wish all the Volleyball parents would cheer like that at the Football games!!! )

 

Huh? Don't go gettin' jealous. They are good, though, ain't they?

 

Tell you what, you attend the same percentage of matches as the volleyball parents do football games and we'll consider it. Deal? /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Congradulations Greenbrier girls! You make our community proud! There isn't anything standing in your way for a back2back state title. Your fan base is huge and supports you all the way! I agree with catsfan20 about the picks. Nina Dever should have taken home an award but who am I to say. She loves the game, loves her team mates, and always walks with her head high, no matter the circumstances. I know the lady that challenged the picks. She doesn't have a dog in the fight, but finds it nearly impossible not to speak up when an injustice is committed. Doesn't make her right; all through out life we are faced with this. I think she is in desperate need of a haircut. Know any good hairdressers Spikeit2?

    • 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.
