I don't see this 4 win team making semi's.

 

My friend, I hope I am wrong, but I fear Upperman's dominance of their opponents may come to a screaching halt!  This year's region was the weakest that I ever remember. I hope they go all the way, but they are still basically untested IMO and I'm guessing Tyner is much better than anyone they have played.

Can't get ahead of ourselves OldCatFan...these playoffs bring out the best(and sometimes the worst) in teams..not thinking about any other team but Smith County at this time...they are at home and have loyal fans so we are already at a disadvantage. One game at a time my friend!

Correct you are! Upperman hasn't beaten GC yet either! I was just replying to UCM's doubt of Tyner's capabilities.

Tyner? Really?

Come on UCM....your supposed to know high school football, and should know better than to just look at records. But, looking at some of your stuff, you DO seem hung up on numbers.

Tyner won't be a run of the mill 4-6 team, I guarantee that. Do your homework.

Might I add we beat them with a few injuries as well

I know ND lost in week 7, and I know the coaches and team are taking it one game at a time, but I personally can't wait until the Polk/ND rematch. I PROMISE you things will be different. ND had the worse game it's had all year on offense all year and still just lost by 2. This performance had very little to do with Polks defense.

oh shut up We beat you this time by 21. Injuries really?!? We didn't start 5 starters and they didn't play most of the 1st qtr. For being late to walk throughs on game day. By the way that's when you all scored!!! Our leading running back didn't even PLAY. LOOK HIM UP IN THE PAPER Auston Banks. In won't be an upset. All someone as to do is watch film. Do u have some I could watch PunkCoAlumni

Polk had 3 turnovers in the redzone vs east ridge along with two tds called back

Excuses oh 3 turnovers, against us you had hurt players. Excuses Excuses.........I watched that game. That coach is a good coach at Polk. He ran the same play 8 times in a row. He didn't know what else to do. Duh Give to the big guy. He can do it. Hehe Y'all got out coached.

To comment on a few subjects here....

 

Tyner is not an ordinary 4 win team, Charlie is a fan, but their final few games haven't been against the best competition. I say they beat Smith but I have no idea how legit Upperman is...

 

Polk should beat Sequatchie, but one never knows in the playoffs.

 

As for private school thats playing with the publics.. Y'all might want to beat Cascade first, then you might get that rematch that you are so excited about.

 

As for week 7 game. Polk won the game, even when they were out coached, out hit, out blocked, out run, out dressed, surely out paid, out everything by this juggernaut of a team.

 

Regardless, whoever comes out of quad 2, wins a one way trip to Alcoa.

Out coached I would beg to differ. ND constantly lined up offsides ( coaching) and they ran so many trick plays especially on first down it was pathetic (coaching)... Their play calling was atrocious when something worked they went away from it

Come on, they lined up offsides because the refs put the ball in the wrong spot...

 

I do remember the coachT ND fans questioning the play calling of their awesome coach..

 

All I know is Polk won. And I'm pretty sure that's all that really counts!

 

Back to round one of the playoffs, Cascade fans,, bring your wallet.. ND charges about 10$ (satchel money) to park, and it's not a "donation", plus get there early because they only have bleachers for about 400....they choose to spend their money in other places....

    • 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.
