Sycamore at Howard

Ok i have to say one more thing for my man smokey04, speed is a great thing to have but its not what wins games my man. I would like to say that anyone that knows how to buckle up some shoulder pads would know that. All i have heard from you is how speed is gonna take howard to the super bowl. Did it ever ring inside your head that sycamore has played a couple of games this season so they may know what speed is. I mean unless the kids at howard are running some 4.3 fourty times then the speed issue isnt going to be the deciding factor to this game. I guess you didnt play much ball since you think the howard speed is whats gonna carry yall to the state championship. Brother is takes alot more than speed. Coaching being the biggest thing, and from what i hear yall are a little below par in that department. Expect a good game and drop the speed issue.

 

 

I think you have been mis-informed about Howard's coaching. Their line play does get sloppy from time to time, but their QB and backs can use their SPEED to fill the void. Don't get the false assumption that they just have speed, there is more to this bunch than that. I think what smoke is trying to say is that SPEED does become an issue when the ball gets into the secondary, and that my friend is when the action begins. I have not Sycamore play, don't know anything about them - but I do know that Region 4 is tough. Bottom line, it will be hard to win at Howard this year.

This is the best post on here. Just cause sycamore is a four seed doesnt mean anything. the past two times sycamore has made the playoffs they have hammered a bunch of cocky number one seeds. Oh and whoever is saying book it and making his predictions, the only thing that anyone can book is seeing a good game. Howard is gonna be dirty and sycamore is gonna bust people in the mouth. Its all on who is up when the final second ticks. I would like to also give my opinion on the trading films issue. You can pretty much mark that up as BS. Sycamore isnt that unclassy. Thats just a story made up for the event that sycamore beats another one seed.

You are crazy howard has class them coaches teaches them alot but sycamore will not win this game howard jst to fast they havent seen speed their speed is like florida howard is jst to fast /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" /> /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

Sycamore just pounded the ball down their throats and had several long sustained scoring drives. The best way to stop speed on offense is to not let them have the ball. Sycamore controlled the line of scrimmage the whole night and pushed them all over the field.

 

Very good game plan by Sycamore.

 

Sycamore @ Station Camp will be a good game.

Congrats to another Region 4 team who heard how fast and athletic Region 3 is. But being from Dekalb and playing at Mcminn Central tonight you are exactly right. Hit em in the mouth and your region is 4-0 like ours. Good Luck the rest of the way while our region has to beat up on each other . Impressive first round region 4 its what we have come to expect. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

sycamore done exactly what i said they would do.. gary halstead had his boys prepared for howard and they lined up and ran some smashmouth football... sycamore threw 3 passes all night and one was for a touchdown. long time consuming drives controlled this game. howard ran three plays in the third quarter. i called it another 4-3A sweep. good luck to all region 4 teams from here on out

Howard is a tough place to play. Sycamore will not be able to match the athletes that Howard has. Howard is so fast on defense. The experience of playing Polk's wing t will help the Tigers. Coach Tarver will have his Tigers ready.

 

Howard 39

Sycamore 15

 

 

I will go ahead and say I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but last night, I saw a TEAM of great players beat a group of great athletes. It seemed like Howard was stunned this little team from the sticks actually intended to win the game! I don't think Coach Tarver was ready for that. Howard was not ready for the Sycamore team that showed up.

 

I am very proud of War Eagles and the coaches for going to a hostile environment and knocking the wind out of their opponent on the OPENING KICKOFF! They were able to keep the Tigers on their heels all night. Great job, Coaches!

 

Also, it has to be hard on the home team players when the Visitors, from 2 1/2 hours away, bring as many, if not more, fans to watch the game. I'm sure the War Eagle fans had a substantial part in the win, but like they say, "Sycamore travels well". The fans should feel great for the 12th man effort.

 

Looking forward to Station Camp, THAT is going to be a good game!

What a game it was ! Congratulations to all my boys and to the Sycamore coaching staff and fans. I would also like to thank Howard for their hospitality and for welcoming us to their stadium. Special thanks to the lovely ladies in the "fish tent". Best fish sandwich I have found at a football game. Great to see Coach Tharp, Madison and Coach Boner.

Lets look ahead to next week. I BELIEVE.... GO WAR EAGLES

    • 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.
