This topic is apparently not going anywhere so let me get it started.  I will offer an early evaluation of District 9 AAA in alphabetical order.

 

Beech High School - Beech has some very good players and good coaching just not enough depth.  I believe their record today is 2-3-2 with 2 district losses to Mt. Juliet (Last years district champ and Lebanon).  They could spoil for anybody but will have to improve a lot to win the district.

 

Gallatin High School - Gallatin always has a good base of physical players that have speed and can defend.  Their current record is 3-4-1 with 1 district victory over Portland.  They have a quality win over White House Heritage, and 3 of their losses are to powerhouse East TN teams (Bearden, Science Hill, Hardin Valley).  They have a few quick players who are tricky around the goal.  I expect they will be one of the top 3 or 4 teams in the district.

 

Hendersonville High School - HHS has one of the most solid teams from top to bottom in the district they are also very young.  Losing, I believe, 8 starting seniors from last year.  Though it is a rebuilding year they have a record of 5-3 with their losses coming to Father Ryan, Science Hill, and CAK.  Along with those losses they are 2-0 in district play beating Lebanon and Portland.  The top 3 spots in the district are up for grabs so we will just have to see how willing the upper classmen are to providing the right kind of leadership to their young team.

 

Lebanon High School - Lebanon has a talented group of kids but again not enough depth to go around.  Their record of 1-2-1 has a quality district victory over Beech but they were unable to put the ball in the goal against Wilson Central and their only score against Hendersonville was a PK.

 

Mt. Juliet High School - The Bears are looking to repeat as district champs.  Last year they beat Hendersonville 3 times in overtime and they would like to use that momentum to keep the program moving forward.  They are off to a good start with a 2-1 record beating district rival Beech and their only loss coming from a close match with a very good Oakland HS team.  They meet up with Cookeville on April 7th which should be their biggest match so far this year.

 

Portland High School - The Panthers should get an "A" for effort.  Portland is a little off the beaten path from most of the club soccer action so they do the best they can with a lot of raw talent and heart.  They are not a skilled soccer team they use the assets they have to pressure the other team in hopes of creating opportunities.  I would say they may have the opportunity to win a district game and that should be the first thing to check off their list.  They currently have a record of 1-2 with two district losses to Hendersonville and Gallatin and a victory over East Robertson.

 

Station Camp High School - The Bison's may be in the position to make some noise in district 9.  With a stellar defense and some talented mid-fielders and strikers they can go as far as their ability to score can take them.  Their record of 4-2 supports quality wins but no district play yet and their only losses have come from what looks to be a good Collierville team and powerhouse private school Christ Presbyterian.

 

Wilson Central High School - With a record of 2-0-1 the Wildcats have a district win over Lebanon and no losses.  Their first big test comes up Thursday, April 3rd against district rival Station Camp.  Wilson Central is usually in the mix with several strong club teams in the area to draw their talent from.  They always play with tenacity and they always bring a good following of fans with them.

Station Camp has soccer players all over the field, not just athletes, but they are really young. They are well coached and play as a team but we all know that a couple lucky long balls in high school soccer can win a game, but I still think they are pretty good, not quite as good as Hendersonville but better than Beech and Gallatin.  I have not seen Wilson Central or Mt. Juliet yet.

Hendersonville 3-0 8-4

Lebanon 3-2 3-2-1

Station Camp 2-0 6-2

Mt. Juliet 2-1 8-3

Wilson Central 2-1 3-1-1

Gallatin 1-1 4-6-2

Beech 0-3 3-6-2

Portland 0-5 2-9-1

    • 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.
