DCtiger were u there tonight.  Didn't see you there. Was a big loss for LA. 

I was there..maybe you think I’m someone else lol. I agree with you for the most part, but I think it’s feasible that we could actually be undefeated at this point. The two games we lost we did it down the stretch. Hate to see Agee go down the way she did, but in the time that I’ve been watching, we haven’t had a player bring to the table what Ferrell does. She is a special player. I could see us finishing as high as second to be honest. We played Macon close both times last year if I remember correctly. And it looks like Upperman played LA about the same as us. Can’t wait to see how this all plays out regardless. 

 

And as far as your reservations about the coach go, gotta give him credit for putting some actual decent teams on our schedule. You know as well as I do that in years past we would be 6-1, 5-2 and all of our wins be from cupcakes/home schoolers.

Iceman I'm not saying they are world beaters but DeKalb use to be a footnote on everyone's schedule. To consider them possibly finishing as high 2nd or 3rd in the district is a huge accomplishment for them considering the history of this district. This freshman class if all healthy could really make some noise as Juniors and seniors.

Might want to study couple other schools freshman and sophomore class before drinking the cool-aid.  Macon and the U are young, just sayin.

Repoman when I say make some noise that is exactly what I'm talking about. Being able to play competitively win or lose against the teams that are consistently in Murfreesboro. It's nice to see DeKalb hopefully getting to a point where they are being competitive night after night.

Dekalb not surprising me, I knew they would be good this year. I guess I dranked the York cool -aid and predicted York  3rd and Dekalb 4th pre-season. Anything can happen though season is young. Good luck!

This district is as weak as it has ever been. I really don't think we will lose a district game. Upperman will be 2nd. Macon and Cumberland County will win the 2 region spots. Cannon is 40 points worse than they were 4 years ago and Livingston is 60 points worse. Smith was legit when they had Hackett and Dekalb went to region semis and so did central magnet. Dekalb was 4-2 against us with the old coach and the new coach is 0-6 after this year. I think they are 5-2 this year but the 5 wins come against schools that are a combined 12-27 lol, and i really think a home school would beat jackson county this year omg they are bad. Our focus is not on district but winning the gold ball that we were cheated out of last year.

Not trying to be argumentative but didn’t you have free throws with little to no time left in regulation to put UHS away in the championship game? It was an all time great game, don’t belittle it by saying you were cheated.

    • 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.
