the way they played against hancock UH will give them a tough time

 

Hancock is better than people think they are. With the right coaching and if they decide to actually show up, they could easily beat anybody in District 1. Last week while watching the District 2 consolation game, even though Hancock got beat, I was thinking the whole time that I would much rather be playing Washburn because it seemed like if Hancock ever decided to turn it on, they would be tough...

 

Unless they button up in the post, I can honestly see them getting put out by UH.

 

People talk about how good UH is in the post, but I have a little different perspective on it. When Hampton won in Brooks Gym, Andrews and Hill were both hurt and neither one of them played a single minute in that game. In the loss to the Bucs at Hampton, it was the first game without Hill on the team. But the post game of the Bucs was never really the problem. Greenlee hit about 5 3's and put up 25 on the Dawgs. I mean, you can still win with Denton getting 25, but you can't win with Greenlee getting 25. My theory would be to let Denton get his 15-20, but stay in the man D so as not to let Greenlee or Phillips shoot you to death from behind the arc. If the Dawgs can hold Greenlee and Phillips both to under 8 points, they win easily...

Great point Vador. Denton is a great player and a good player is going to get his points. The thing that teams need to watch out for is the players that can come up and surprise you. If the dawgs want to win this game, then d-fense needs to be on their mind and not to mention boxing out. UH crashes the boards hard and every one of the dawgs need to find a man and have him boxed out clear to the parking lot. This game might be the best game to watch of the season because both teams will be gunning for each other.

I think this will be a very interesting regional tournament. In my honest opinion I think that each game will be very exciting.

 

Our Region and District is basically all about matchups. I think Cloudland will have a tough matchup if Jellico is able to shoot the ball like they did against Unaka. For one reason I think this game will be a tough match for the Highlanders is what alot of people dont realize is Jellico was playing without a few starters that from what I heard got suspended for quite a few games.

 

And you gotta think when is the last time Jellico has been 1 game away from playing for a substate birth. They have very good shooters they are athletic and they play tough offensively. On the other hand when Cloudland shoots the ball well and controls the tempo of the game they are very hard to play with.

 

Hampton and University High will be a very good match as well. I think the difference in this game is going to be both teams post game. Keeping Denton off of the boards and containing the Greenlee kid will be a big key for Hampton.

 

I think Logan Andrews will be a big key in this game. He played one of the best games I have seen him play all year in the district championship game. And I think if he plays like he is capable of playing than Hampton will be in good shape. Because everyone in the gym knows that Hughes and Ward are going to score thats no secret. But I also think that Lipford has did a good job of controlling the game and running the offense he dont force shots he gets the offense set up and the most important thing is he takes care of the basketball down the stretch.

 

Best of luck to University High,Hampton and Cloudland and a safe trip to Jellico on there way down.

No I completely disagree with you Russ. I was there. The only reason Jellico shot as high a percentage as they did is becase Unaka played horrible defense. They weren't getting back, they were leaving back doors open, they allowed too many offensive boards... I mean once they got up in their face on the perimeter, barely even attempted any three's, let alone make any....

 

Jellico is not a good team. If Cloudland comes to play like they are capable of, they should win by 25-30. Maybe even more. Jellico can't defend an inside move. Thats how Unaka got back in the game. They gave it to Devon and Doobie and Peterson and let them work it on the inside. Jellico only has two players worth mentioning; 22 and I forgot the number of the other one. Maybe 13.

 

Jellico can't handle the ball either. Hey Cloudland, PRESS this team!!! They turn the ball over very easily when put in full court pressure. Do that, and keep a hand in 22's face at ALL times, and Cloudland cruises to a victory.

Because they played Unaka and got Bowers in foul trouble, and everyone knows Cloudland has no post game to even speak of. And they got manhandled down low against Hancock.

If Cloudland can D up Jellico will give them the ball there guards make terrible decsions they just get made up for through hustle and offensive rebounding if they dont let 22 have open looks and keep them off the glass they win and by the way there PG when he goes to the rim he will not stop he will run someone over you can take him out from charges

 

I think Hampton wins against UH and its not becuase Hampton is great in the post please dont say you are but they will get physical and UH dosent like that denton and evans will both start pushing and going out of control and if Hampton gets them in foul trouble UH guards wont be able to stop Hamptons

 

good luck to all the carter county schools

Well, in the 3 tournament games Hampton has played, Andrews is averaging 13.4 points per game. I will gladly take that and let people call it bad post play. But the post play will not be the key to the game. Denton is gonna get his no matter what is done. Stopping Greenlee and Phillips from getting hot will be the key...

    • 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.
