This really sucks for the Overton kids.  If I'm not mistaken,  these two teams had a fight last year that ended the game in the 4th qtr.  My question is how long will the head coach last. Because regardless of saying the kids did it. Behavior, and controlling behavior starts at the top

If the fire your coach, who are they going to get to work over there nununu? How many coaches have yall had the last 6-7 years anyway? Nobody wants  to go to LA now.

Best of luck to Coach McPhail on his health after resigning from HL. Always was a great man to converse with & always kept the course despite a very challenging situation at HL.

I believe they need someone like you coach. Way too many coaching transitions for those young men there. I still think running off Coach Woodward was the worst decision they could have ever made there 

Agree about coaches McPhail and Woodward.

I totally agree with your statement. I personally don’t know the coach, haven’t been at the school in 2 yrs now. I get info from players and staff. I didn’t want to say this before,and someone mentioned it. But Mike Woodward ran a tight ship, and this would have never happened under his watch. There are a number of assistant coaches in Metro, that I think would do well in the position, there is still hope, although it will take a few years to get a culture of winning. They have won 5 games in the last 6 years, it’s going to take some work, and allowing someone to establish themselves

I saw Hunters Lane on film against Cheatham County, Sycamore, and Whites Creek.  They are absolutely terrible.  They didn't block a soul.  They couldn't execute a snap or a handoff.  I've seen 11-12 year old teams in Joelton who could have beaten them.  It's sad because I remember 10 years ago (2008) watching Hunters Lane play Lipscomb in the jamboree at Maplewood.  They were big, athletic, and played with a purpose.  The location is ideal and the facilities aren't terrible.  The right coach could come in over there and win if the kids bought in and came out to play.

 the downfall of antioch started when shawn joseph took over metro schools. he brought in keiva wiley as principal and her short tenure resulted in the systematic tearing down of everyting good at antioch.  it is a shame that someone as unqualified, idiotic... could have the disastrous impact. her reach has now impacted overton because the guy she hired to replace wood has absolutley no control or anything else that a football coach needs... she had no reason to fire wood who won 3 games in his first year back. this after i believe antioch had lost around 15 games in a row including an 0-11 campaign the year before.

    • 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.
