What is everybodies thoughts on this game. I believe that if Livingston plays like they are capable of playing they should win. But what is everybodies thoughts. This will be the first game of Class AA on Wednesday. I believe that Coach Miller will have these boys ready to play. He knows what it takes to win in this type of games. He has played in this type of game when he played in high school.

 

 

Here is some stats:

East Literature

points per game: 66.5

points givin up per game: 54.4

 

Livingston Academy

points per game: 64.5

points givin up per game: 59.5

 

Based on that I may be wrong but I am taking Livingston in a close one. Livingston by 6.

Gonna be pulling for la. I just don't think we can slow them down enough.

Hogeye can run a little if they have to. No doubt our best game can be played in half court, but these young men have committed themselves to do whatever it takes to win. No ONE can afford to underestimate them. :thumb: G-O-- H-O-G-E-Y-E

Kinda curious as to how much EL improved since last year, I noticed their record was alot better. IMO we are as good as we were last year and beat them by 20. I def am not counting on that happening again but hopefully we can match up! Dont think that we should run and gun but we have done well against the teams that like that style! I like how weve played up tempo but selective and unselfish with our shot selections. Any time 5 players are in double figures, 6 a couple of times, your gonna be in the game. There is a few games of EL on ihigh.com, they dont pass alot! Quick shots! They make alot of em! Defense is the key to a LA win!

If LA plays the way that got them there and has a strong shooting game in the start that will put them on there heals! Strong play between the two towers and that will keep them off balance and will have to run the ball weather they want to or not. GO HOG EYES FROM CANNON COUNTY!!! :D

Gotta Go with HOGEYE in this one. Better not be any of that stall ball mess from a couple weeks ago or it could be a long night for East Lit. LA needs to play four quarters of team ball. If they Play like they did in the Sub State Ill take them by 11. Unfortantly I will not be able to attend. :shock: They say the third time is the charm and its the Srs. third trip here so maybe this will be our long awaited year for a LA Boys Championship to match all the Girls. Its good to see the support from our district. But where are the E. Lit. fans at? Good Luck and GO HOGEYE! :thumb:

The Wildcats are playing their best ball right now and are jelling each game as a team. There are no superstars to speak of and that's why you see balanced scoring from the starting 5. I say just lay it on the line Wednesday and leave it on the court and I like our chances to win. It's ONE GAME at a time and who knows, we might just surprise some people.

Maybe E Lit doesn't have any fans. Or maybe they will do their talking on the floor. They didn't stall in the game you are rererring to. The other team did. LA by 20+.

    • 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.
