Where has Region 4 been in the last 5 years at the State.

 

State Finals AAA:

2004 - Farragut (R2) def. Bartlett (R7)

2005 - Houston (R8) def. Overton (R6)

2006 - Farragut def. Bartlett

2007 - Bartlett def. South Doyle (R2)

2008 - Farragut def. Bartlett

 

Region 4 may dominate Region 3, but it looks like Region 2 dominates AAA.

 

 

 

Thanks for pointing out the obvious!!! Everybody knows Farragut is the top program in the state right now. How many championships has Region 3 played for in the last 20 years??? I can name at least three teams right now from region 4 that have either won a state championship or played in the championship game (Oakland, Warren Co, and Tullahoma) I know Bradley won it in 94, but that is it......face it, your region is not very strong

The majority of these same owls were starters for ooltewah last year and didn't even win first or second in their district.

 

 

They were also alot of inexperienced sophomores and juniors. there also was not much coaching. i guaranttee you, they will show up to work and play hard everyday. Prediction: Owls are '09 District 6AAA champs

Is that where Doug Greene is? (Former Coffee Co. and Blackman coach)

 

if so, then you will be better and contend for the district....Doug is an excellent coach

Ward Gossett from the Chattanooga Times Free Press wrote a wonderful article on 2 of the Red Bank Lions senior pitchers.

I agreed with you, moron, and simply made another point.

I read what you wrote....You are trying to ignore the fact that region 3 stinks by trying to put down region 4 for not making a state championship game in 5 years.

 

If not for the TSSAA making it easier to reach the state tournament (8 teams) region 3 would probably never get there.

 

Bottom line is the facts will back up my arguement that Region 4 dominates Region 3....like I said in my original post....said nothing of Region 4 dominating state....just Region 3

What if Walden was going to be at Ooltewah where he is supposed to be? They would definitely make a run at state. I think they still can as long as they can score enough runs. As an "old Owl" I've got the Red Bank/Ooltewah games marked on my calendar.

 

Good to see you on here Catsbackr!

 

Both Hunter and Alan are not only great pitchers , they are also great young men. I wish them both the best not only this season but also in their future baseball careers and beyond. My son has played with both these guys and against them since they were 6 years old. You could also say what would Ooltewah would be with the 8 others that left OHS in addition to Alan. Just think 9 players left Ooltewah and they are at 6 different schools and all of them are doing well. And including Alan, 2 others that left Ooltewah have signed early to play college baseball next year. Both of them are pitchers also. Most all left because of the bad coaching at OHS. And you could also say that the year that Burke and Mcdade were juniors and seniors that if they had a decent coach they could have won state. Anyway , good luck Alan and Hunter.

    • 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.
