We're down to two. Ready to start talking all-conference.

 

I tried to make this easy to start with and picked several from each school.

 

Science Hill

Daniel Norris

Ben McKinney

Patterson, Reed, or Sharp

 

Davy Crockett

Clinton Freeman

Chris Marti

Brandon Massey

 

Sullivan South

Tristan Archer

Reid Matthews

Lockhart, St. Clair

 

Sullivan Central

Carl Roberts

Matt Harmon

Cody Hyden

 

Sullivan East

Des Greer

Tyler Gaby

Kevin Love

 

Daniel Boone

Kevin Connell

Caleb Dishner

Cody Connell, Reynolds, Jones

 

Volunteer

Tyler Hutson

Dylan Frazier

Jake Parker

 

Tennessee High

Jon Krebbs

Jerrod Payne

Cunningham, Mullins

 

DB

Dylan Harvey

Joe Doran

Jamie Crawford,

 

Tried to do it by position but it was very hard. so many are good fielders, hitters, and pitchers or a combo of the two. There are many that are only one and that is hard to pick them over someone who does more than one.

 

I watched Science Hill the most, so I will talk mostly about them.

 

My nominations:

 

Daniel Norris--MVP, centerfield, pitcher

Ben McKinney--leftfield, honorable mention as pitcher

Jon Krebs--3b

Nathaniel Patterson--honorable mention first base

 

I thought Daniel Norris was the most dominate player in Big 9 toward the end of the year. I would nominate him for center field and pitcher and MVP. As an oufielder he was a good hitter, good fielder, got good jump in the outfield, had outstanding speed, good arm. Dominating as a pitcher. Norris carried Science Hill this year. Science Hill is always in the ball game when Norris pitches. If Norris is healthy, Science Hill will be the team to beat for the next two years.

 

I thought Ben McKinney was a good outfielder. Started him at 3b (probably not a good idea). Strong hitter. He was hampered by arm problems, so hesitant to nominate him as a pitcher due lack of consistency. Other pitchers in the district were probably more reliable and consistent.

 

Nat-Pat would get an honorable mention. I'm not sure his hitting was consistent enough for first team, although he played good defensively at first base.

 

Of the others that I saw play, Krebs impressed me at third base.

 

I didn't see enough games with the others to make a cogent choice.

I'm going to add Nick Loughry, Jr. 2nd baseman to the DB list. Nick had a great year, very consistent both at the plate and in the field. His batting average was .500 or above the whole year except for the last week. He ended up leading the the DB team in virtually every offensive category including BA, HR's, RBI's, triples, OB %, total hits and was 2nd in doubles. Played great defense as well.

My bad. Nick would be at top of DB List. Was top of my 2nd basemen. Sorry Nick.

Pitchers do get most of the glory. They can and do decide the out come of many games. Norris is awesome. No doubt going to be one of the best to come out of this area. But my top 2 for MVP would be Krebs and Archer in that order.

 

My big 9 team...

1st base Nat Pat / Justin Trent

2nd Nick Loughry

SS Jamie Crawford

3rd Massie / Mullins

Outfield Freeman Gaby Norris

Catcher Delouch Rhyno Reed

Pitchers archer krebs Harvey DES Norris

NETFAN, just got back into town from a Mother's Day trip to take mama to see the kids and grands. Wanted to tell you that your boys played a good game the other night. Archer is sure a good little pitcher. The conditions were not the best in the world but our PATS just ran out of steam. I do send congrats along to SH and Crockett for their wins. I was impressed with Crockett's win over South. Seemed like the Crockett boys wanted the win more. They were sure fired up. So it's been a good bb season and sure enjoyed the chats with all. Reckon, football will be next.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • 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.
