I do not believe this at all.

 

 

Taco enough. Go to your Centennial/Independence threads and leave us alone until we meet in two weeks. Man, I can't wait for the Rebels to run all over the cougars. TACO, you make me sick.

 

 

My magic jumping beans have revealed all. CC is done after this season. Hey I am trying to help you out and keep him around. Maybe he will see this and will stay to prove me wrong.

 

He's let it slip to some on his staff. Sorry guys, the captain is getting off the sinking ship.

You clearly haven't seen the freshman football team for Franklin play, they have a lot of phenomenal athletes, including their quarterback.

 

Didnt the Centennial freshman team go undefeated, or close to it, three years ago? I think they won the freshman league at least, but I may be wrong. Point is...they are freshman. What 14 and 15 year olds do doesnt always translate to varsity successs. It wont at FHS either.

Agree! But my question is why did we not show up in the first half? Why have we been struggling on offense when we have a QB like we have? The answer is young off. linemen and WR that DROP the ball!!!!!!!!

 

 

If,If,If, Had, Had, Had - Lets face the facts. Brentwood jamboreed Siegel the other night and my impression was that Siegel was nothing spectacular. They also moved the ball through the air pretty easily against the Bruins. Brentwood played a very weak Cookeville Team and looked o.k. but nothing spectacular. Sounds like Franklin has a really solid QB and a bunch of youngsters. I think it is going to be ugly in District 11 this year. And yes Coach Clayton does see the writing on the wall. He has said it publicly in the past.

 

P.S. - The Bruins have a probably very "perturbed" Smyrna next Friday. Might be ugly!

Yeah the centennial freshman team did...but their "freshman" team also played sophomores in juniors in the majority of their games, so it doesn't really count as being an undefeated FRESHMAN team. It was more of a partial JV team that beat all the freshman teams they played

Freshmen stuff doesn't mean squat but I can tell you that Centennial made that undefeated run with an ALL freshmen squad. The only reason I recall is because that team was dubbed "The Dirty Dozen and a half plus two". There were only 20 kids total. I didn't see all the games from the stands but was there to watch them against Brentwood and Franklin. The key was the QB scrambling to either take off running or dump off to short routes. No one could catch the kid. Some of those guys are still with the team as seniors now. We'll see if anything translates over to varsity success.

Them having 20 people is why they played sophomores and juniors in some of their games. I only know that they played sophomores and 2 juniors in both the Franklin and Brentwood games because those are the only two that I payed attention to, I can't say for sure if they played them in other freshman games. But I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

I was at both games and recall freshmen wearing varsity player's numbers. At first sight it may have appeared upper classmen were playing but by that Friday you could tell there were different bodies in those certain numbered jerseys. I remembered checking the roster because I only saw twenty players on the field. I don't want to argue it any longer but Centennial beat us fair and square. Our boys will get the last laugh though. :roflolk:

I saw the Centennial freshmen team play that year and I can assure you they had more than 20 players...

And that brings it back to the point I was making about 20 posts ago to another poster talking about how good they think FHS's freshman team is; it really doesnt matter. If they cant do it in a varsity game, it doesnt matter, and in another year, FHS will be in serious rebuilding mode...with a new head coach to boot.

    • 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.
