GC vs. Greenfield will be on Victory 93.7 and i believe Vick said they will be back on 95.1 again as well.  Praying all come out of this game healthy.  Really want to see both in state and hopefully meeting in the end!!

Yes, my friend Robin Cude will have the call on Victory 93.7. Our broadcast of Greenfield-Gibson Co. will be on Mix 101.3 tonight at 6:30 with the pre-game. If you are out of the area, download the Thunderbolt Radio App, available in the App Store, to hear it anywhere. Games on all 4 of our stations are always available on the app.

It happens to the best of them. Congrats on a good year!! We survived a scare Saturday Night ourselves. Our district has four teams that are not good at all and we have to play them 8 times and we don't play well at all after we play them. But we can't control it. Sounds like you guys need to beef up the non-district schedule.

I'm not a TP fan.

I'm from 3-A.

Great game between Greenfield and Gibson County. Greenfield came out on fire and went up 13-0. We got it back to 3 deep in the 4th, but couldn't ever get the lead. I'd like to see a part 3 to this matchup and hopefully it'll happen in the Boro. Congrats on the Region championship going to Greenfield. GC...we're not done yet and we're still alive.

I hope we see GC again, i’m pulling for you. GC has a classy bunch of fans.

Very good game. Greenfield came out firing up 16-3. After Gibson County settled in, it got very interesting. I think down the stretch it came down to a few second chance opportunities and GC allowing Greenfield to pretty much win the game from the line. I'm still pro-shot clock. But teams need to adjust to the stall tactic.

Defending State champs flexed their muscles tonight. Greenfield came out strong and forced GC to fight back all night long. GC is a very good but too much talent on Greenfield. Gotta love West TN girls basketball. Still work to be done in substate games but should be great representation at the Boro.

GC would have never beat them three times in a row. Loss is not the end of the world for GC. We shot the ball very poorly both games at UTM. Lucky to beat Peabody actually. Congrats to Greenfield. They hit us in the mouth and we never recovered. GC has got to start playing faster. Played way too slow tonight. Defensively we are not playing the same either. Got to get it figured out quick.

I agree with everything said... a bigger court changes the game which may affected our defense (didn’t get the turnovers we’d normally get with our press)... Regardless, Greenfield played well and deserved the win. It would make for a good story line to settle a 3 game series between Gibson and Greenfield in the state championship!

    • 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.
