I've not seen Eagleville play but.....they have played Community 3 time this yr (looking at Schedules here on CoachT) and each regular season game. Eagleville was dominate. They won the first two game by 19 points and the district tourney by 21 pts. So they obviously have some talent. Eagleville lost to Cascade twice though, and Cascade just barely beat Houston County and Heritage beat Houston Co earlier this yr..... Maybe Eagleville has some kind of mental hold over Community.....ha.idunno. I say any one can be defeated in a big tournament game/who wants it more... Play hard Patriots.

Eagleville made the state tournament last year and lost to Moore Co. in a close one after a unbelievable comeback. They have two starters back from that team plus a very quick guard who got a lot of playing time last year. They are a good team but not as good as last year. They do not have as much depth. They have a good inside game all though they are not that big. There best post player is about 6'1" (Jo Jo Wilson) and has very good hands and is able to score against much taller defenders. The other post player is about 6'6" Barrett Bingham a good rebounder and a good passer for a big man. We play a lot of high low post. Basically we play with three guards who all are very quick and like to push the ball up court. Two of them are very athletic. When we can hit the three that really opens up the inside game. Our leading scorer usually is either Jarett Wilson or Jo Jo Wilson. If we can keep the turnovers down, shoot the three well, get the ball to Jo Jo and stay out of foul trouble we can play with a lot of very good teams. I'm looking forward to seeing us play WH Heritage, it should be a great game. If we stay focused which can be a problem for us at times we should win by 10 or more, but you never know. Whats the info on WH Heritage.

Eagleville is THE real deal.....for a class single A team they are one of the most versatile teams I have seen. Outside and inside they can play ball.

 

But on the other hand I think Clarksville Acd. has about the same talent but maybe not quite as beefy as Eagleville.

 

I think the matchup for the region 5 A championship between Eaglelville and Clarksville Academy will be one heck of a game.

 

Im going with Clarksville Academy by 4....I think both will have a chance to advance to the boro. Even with a loss tonight.

Wasn't much of a game. Eagleville pretty much dominated even though we did not play well. We missed at least 5 or 6 layups in the first half. It should be a good game with CA, we might struggle with their size but I believe they will struggle with our quickness. We have played very good defense in the tournaments and have stayed out of foul trouble. I sure that is why we have played so much zone this year, not as much depth as last year. If we can keep CA brothers off the offensive glass I believe we can give them a good game. Their outside shooters are pretty much spot shooters thus I think we can handle them just as Cascade did. Cascade just could not keep the CA big guys off the glass. The CA/Cascade game was an exciting game. Good Luck Eagles Thursday nite.

Not trying to overlook the region championship, as I think its going to be a good one, but what do you guys think of the Sectionals matchups? CA and Eagleville will either be playing Collinwood or Summertown. Both teams have very impressive records, including Summertown having scored 100+ atleast 5 times this year. Even scoring 127 in one game. However, looking at the schedules both Collinwood and Summertown have losses to Forrest? Seems pretty strange to me. So maybe the strength of schedule they have played is down? Either way there are going to be some great basketball played in this next week. Im looking forward to the Region Championship.

Never seen Collinwood or Summertown play but Forrest lost to Eagleville three times in double digits but that means very little. But Eagleville does return 2 starters and the 6th man from last years team that made it to the state tournament. I believe they could hang with either Summertown or Collinwood. I have to admit I was greatly surprised that Summertown upset Culleoka. They must have played very well. As I have stated many times Eagleville starters are pretty good and play well together but depth could be a problem if key players get into foul problems. CA like Eagleville does not have a lot of depth and depend pretty much on the twins to do most of the scoring. There other players are spot up shooters and can not create scoring opportunities. The twins against Cascade scored most of their points on offensive rebounds, a least in the second half the half that I saw.GO 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.
