Sevier County Football

This county has only 1 top tier program. They are the Bears. The others are full of kids that dropped out of SC program because they couldn't cut it. Seriously I just got a Murphy book and counted no fewer than 20 kids that are now at other county schools. Of those maybe 0 would even contribute on this Bears team and they are young. It was wise to move so they could play but it is obvious enough to me where the players are. Sure they have a couple kids at PF and NVA that would help but they were never Bears before. Now will some of those teams have a better record this year maybe. But that's just because they don't play with the big dogs. Bears will be ok but like I said already it will be at the end of the year when it shows. Cleveland West oak ridge DB mo west etc will be tough but they would demolish the other county teams every year and this year would be no different. Bears are capable of a region championship again & if they stay healthy could be a tough out until they meet the wild cats or rebels again that would be 2nd 3rd round the other county schools have never got out of second round and they play cupcakes.

They could win out if they can beat Elizabethton and PG. Getting all 22 starters would be a big boost for any program. If they do will that do any damage to Sevier County in future recruiting if the new kid on the block puts out a winner year in and year out. I figured when they started that school they had a good system in place for winning football.

I watched PF beat Northview like a dog last year on Packer Vision's game of the week 48-6 and could of been a lot worse. Unless he lost all 22 starters I can't imagine that happening. PG the last time I heard was getting a kid that was a very good player that has been through the Maryville system when he was younger. I had talked to the kids mother this spring and she told me at the time he was going to play football for them this fall. I do know when he was younger he was the best player on the team. Sevier County does have a real good coach. They sure fooled me last year making it to the state but they did have some real good kids last year. I seen them in two scrimmages where they got turned everywhere but lose in both games and I really under estimated them from that point on but I sure was proud of them to make it far as they went.

Yes it was a surprise but they had some good players. They lost a bunch from last year. And I really don't think there is many tools in woodshed for the Bears this year. That's why I wanted to start this thread to hopefully give the other schools a time to boast and place a flag. It's been awhile since the other schools have seen sunshine being under the shade tree of the Smoky Bears. And I think it could be a year where Lingo could show what a good coach he actually could be. Which I have faith in his system. And he sure is a class act guy from what's on the grapevine.

All I'm going to say is that three years ago I went to see Maryville's freshmen play Sevier County and the game was a total mismatch. The other big thing I remember is they only had 22 players and that's when I did a lot of digging and found out that it was Northview's first year which took some of the kids that would have went to Sevier County. Things change in three years but my gut told me then it would take a lot for Sevier County to recuperate from a hit like that. I saw it happen before when PF opened up and it took a while before the program recovered. You can go back to the year they won the state and shortly after PF opened up and the football record took a nose dive for a while. I tend to believe history will repeat itself again.

NVA has a good front and good coaching but skill guys are avg even at the 3 a level. PF will put it on them again Biamonte for PF is the real deal and NVA will have no answer for him. GP will be way down and Seymour will be avg at best. PF should be pretty good again they also have good coaching and they have some play makers. Who is TKA?

    • 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.
