Tennessee East Vs. West All Star Game


Recommended Posts

After Lake County lost in the first round, we turned our eyes to the All Star game played on Saturday morning in Murfreesboro. I had the privilege of watching these girls practice on Friday Night and then play on Saturday. Alot of talent on the floor. Was there with TeTe Flowers and Carnation Hart from our Lady Falcon team and both players had great games. I though TeTe was the most commanding player on the court and had about 16 points, 5 Rebs, at least 6 assists, probably 3 steals and a blocked shot. She should have had more points as she blew past the defense but didn't finish 2 or 3 times. Still very impressive performance with a few scouts in the stands. Carnation had about 10 points and a bunch of REBS. West won the game 77-70. Here is the roster from the game:

TT's defense also forced Chaddaryl Clay from GPS into a few tough situations as well as she was handling the ball. TT, in my opinion, was the fastest player on the court with the ball in her hands. She played well as did Carnation. It'd be pretty cool to see that whole Lake Co. crew at Bethel. I know Coach Nelson is big on TT, Carnation, and Shamone. Those 3 could have outstanding careers at Bethel!

I told Coach Nelson we were going to buy season tickets next year. If he signs Shamone and Tiana like we think it will be fun to watch them all together again in two years. Still not sure where TeTe is going to end up although we talked about it a little bit this weekend. She's a smart kid and will make the best decision for her. Anyway enjoyed the All Star Game and although I just mentioned our kids, there were alot of really good players on the court. How bout Bre Hall lighting it up from three point range? lol

I sat with Coach Nelson yesterday during first half of the game. TT could be an NAIA All-American if she goes to Bethel. tiger, you guys have had bad luck over these past few years at state. Maybe, you guys will be able to make another run on the guys side again this year! Good luck to you guys this week and have fun up there!

Thanks Pioneer it has been a good run. I think our girls will give UC a run for their money in 14A next year. Pearson, Gray, and Yancy are a pretty good base. I think Tiana has become a huge scoring threat and Yancy has had alot of experience at the point of late. They will be fun to watch anyway.

What jumps out at me is the fact that there were so many 1A schools represented on the west squad,and they won against the ladies from the east in the higher classifications.

 

Trader they did really well to. TeTe and Kelsey Risner both started and were in the same rotation and then Jacki Street and Carnation came in and played well. Street was pretty impressive and had several assists.

    • 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.
