It has been quoted on this thread Science Hill is the team to beat this year. Maybe so. Don't count out Dobyns-Bennett or Crockett just yet as either team could take the 1st place title. Lots of talent on each. Does anybody know for sure if the District tournament will be held at Central?

Thats correct.Dist. at Central May 1-7 - Regionals May 11-13 - Sectional May 15 - State May 19-22

DB was Crocketts whipping boy last year cause they were young.That is not the case this year.If DB pitching can stay healthy,Crockett will have a battle on its hands.THS will also be good.Don't forget South either with Archer.

DBs first scrimmage Feb.26 Happy Valley @ home 4:30 First game March 10 @6:00 away @ D.Crockett.

The pitching in the Big 9 this year looks to be very good. There are several men consistantly above 85.

 

The Hill : McKinney (GA. Tech)and Norris upper 80's +, Nat Pat and Sharpe are tuff as well

 

THS: Krebbs (Carson Newman)has gas , Sleeper kid from NC, couple of strong underclass arms

 

South: Archer (has offers) should be at his best ever this year

 

Volunteer: Frazier (Milligan)

 

Crockett: Massie (Milligan) and Freeman

 

Boone: Connell (soph) lefty , stays healthly and he is high 80's

 

The Tribe: Harvey (has offers) , Overcast, Doran , Brandon got the job done late last year and summer. Doran and Fantin have had a great winter

 

Have not heard much from East or Central.

Hmmmm, interesting order you got going here. DB in fifth - now that's funny I don't care who you are. Not much respect for the Indian nation. Volunteer ahead of Boone and Central?? /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

I believe it will be

SH - got players running out their dugout. They have guys that will not play that could start anywhere on other teams.

South - will ride the arm of Archer. It will drop off after him, if his arm doesn't drop off first.

THS or Boone - Krebbs is the man for THS. If he stays on, you can count those games. If he does like he can, they could be in trouble.

Boone - have a lot of throwers. It will be interesting to see how they can come together. A lot of them only played sparingly last year. The younger Connell did not throw much last year due to basketball injury so it will be interesting to see how he does in high school.

DB - They also do not have a pitcher that is dominant. They have several throwers.

Crockett - Massey and Freeman are pitchers. Massey did not have a good summer and Freeman is sporadic. They can't win the big games.

East - They had a great JV last year and have some good players coming.

Central - Has the players just can't seem to play together.

Volunteer - Got killed last summer in many games.

 

It will be interesting to see how coaches play SH. Will they throw their aces and try to win or throw someone and try to get lucky and not get beat bad.

Most teams have a dominant pitcher, but most don't have two that are consistent.

NET fan you had been doing so well as of late. But this is some funny stuff here.

He has two third basemen who have both signed college scholarships.

All the sophomores that have played ;r (oppers who will not play. One who played ss last year at state that will not play.

SH is loaded with talent and does not have enough slots for them on field.

Sharp will only pitch and yet is one of the better outfielders and hitters in conerence

Come on NET you are losing some street cred here. Take the blinders off.

 

You said "They have guys that will not play that could start anywhere on other teams"

 

SH does have some depth and Sharpe is a good ball player no question. But really could he knock out Krebbs @ 3rd? Crawford @ SS? Freeman in the OF?

What I do like about the league this year is most of the teams have a pitcher that could give them a shot anytime they take the hill. True SHHS will win the league, but due to the pitching depth of the league they are going to have do more than throw their hats out on the field to get a win. They will have some battles during the regular season and will not have to depend on going out of the area to face quality teams. This will help the whole league come post season time. I think that has hurt our teams in the past. It is usually the Big 2 and the Little 7, with not much of a challenge for the top two (in league play). This year is more balanced than in recent years, which will allow our reps in the sub-state to be more battle tested. Cant wait until it starts. Good luck to all teams and hopefully the State Championship comes back to the Big 9. It's been 11 years.

You are the one blinded. The ones you named are the best at their positions. I said beat out players. Are you telling me that Sharp could not beat out a player on Tn high. Crockett. Boone. DB or any other. That is what I said. Read not interpret

    • 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.
