Tellico Plains 2010


Recommended Posts

Sure wish Tellico would add a wrestling team, would boost the sports as a whole and make for some in-shape athletes. I would say they could rise very fast, beat Seq and Central real soon. Would not have to worry about any other schools since Polk, Meigs and the others do not have wrestling anyway.

I say "the Nation" would be one for them to worry about.

Possibly but ya never know, they could do the same thing there, not alot to do in that area, so they could have a very productive wrestling program IF they ever start one.

well PUMMEL we are both on the side of more wrestling programs. As I have stated on here before there is not a sport out there that wrestling will not make you better at, and you may be right TP has some tough kids it probably wouldn't take them long to be very competitive in the district with the help of a good coach. What are the prospects of this actually happening?

Matback,

At this point in time slim and none. Have to have the admin wanting to add it. There are a few kids in the area who want it but no help from the higher ups.

Wouldn't Title IX come into play somewhere in this equation?? Being that wrestling is a predominant male sport, would you have to come up with a girls sport to match it??

 

Not to mention, wrestling is a sport that will never generate money. You will always spend more money on it than you make.

 

Most HS's already have enough of these: Boys/Girls Golf, Boys/Girls Tennis, most Baseball/Softball teams, etc.

 

Would be hard pressed in these economic times to convince an admin. to add another sport that will just cost more money in the end.

Hater,

Title IX shoud not be a factor. Not to mention since TSSAA now is sanctioning girls wrestling, it could be opened to everyone at the school. Some good ol county a** dicking could come out of Tellico if they ever decide to have it. I know that a couple of kids wanted to Co-Op with McMinn Central a couple years ago but the admin at Central AD Doug Armstrong and Prin Roger Freeman would not allow it. People stuck in their ways and ignorance not willing to allow and help others grow.

Depends on your interpretation of Title IX....and as i see it, it shouldn't apply to High School.....and if it dose, just open it up to girls also....South Doyle has had a few girls on the wrestling team....in Roane County the wrestling team is based in Kingston....the co-op was with Harriman but was changed to Rockwood...the team is entirely self funded and gets no money from the school or school board....It's driven by the coach (who volunteers all his time and efforts)...and the parents....I think all you need is someone like that coach and someone from the school to "sponsor" the team (check TSSAA rules)

Title IX applies everywhere. It all depends on if the right people push it. Just because you offer it to girls doesn't guarantee participation. There actually has to be participation to count for title IX. I am in support of the co-op way of doing things. Until you can have enough interest to justify a team, which can fluctuate from year to year.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
