Officials call what they call and the kids must adjust there play accordingly. That is the way it is in every sport. If you don't adjust you getting holding or pass interference in football, you foul out in basketball, or you strike out in baseball. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO TEACH YOU ABOUT LIFE SKILLS AS WELL, YOU MUST OVER COME ALL OBSTICLES... ADJUST AND WIN OR BE STUBBORN AND LOSE...

I understand that! But that don’t make the officials right either!

South Side and GC both play an aggressive in your grill type defense. Very important for both teams to keep the hands off the offense because some times you get away with it and some times you don't. I think both are pretty disciplined at playing quality defense. Both can play good defense without using their hands on the offense. But refs can be a thorn I agree you just have to adjust he way it is being called. 

Adjusting to the way the game is being called sometime is an art in itself. Especially when after half the officials come out and start calling everything. I am not going get on my need better refs kick because it just doesn't solve problems that certain schools have at certain places and it doesn't weed out the poor officials because they are right back next season along with another one or four phoning it in and picking up a check. But adjusting to the way its called can be difficult when you are scratching your head as to what the heck just happened. Saw  call in a Christmas Classic where a rebound hit the floor, young lady reaches to the floor with no one around her, picks up the ball and scorers on a bank shot 4 feet from the goal. A ref blows whistle and calls foul for reaching. Coach, crowd, player, other refs all in a collective group say " HUH". Ref runs to other end and will not move , other officials look at her, coach is asking what just happened. How do you adjust to that ?

In the East the front runners are South Greene, Meigs County and Granger. South Green has the easiest path IMO. Meigs will more than likely have to face Macon, Cumberland County or Upperman in substate.

Meigs better figure out a way to beat McMinn Central first. Meigs clearly let the game a McMinn Central get away from them in the second half at the Roundhouse.

lol, I will say it now Meigs will win by 20 if the game is played anywhere but at Central, Meigs led by as much as 17 in the first half, in the 3rd the foul count was something like 10-2 in Central’s favor, Meigs had 20 turnovers in the second half, most were make believe calls, one official called several walks that were not walks, and I have watched the game a couple times. Meigs girls were fouled several times and it was not called. Meigs had 4 girls foul out. But Central won the game, we will see how it goes in a couple weeks when Central comes to Meigs.

Officiating is the officiating. We both get the same 6 or 7 referees. It is what it is.

 Meigs just seem to lose focus in the second half after McMinn Central picked up the defensive pressure and when the tide turned, Meigs just did not have an answer. No doubt it will be tougher for Central at Meigs. Seems like Morgan got into Coach Powell's head a little especially at Central.

Be a huge test in Decatur for both teams. Always fun to watch a game a Meigs.

Morgan is a good coach, and it seems that way sometimes.

So the contenders right now from each part of the state:

E-South Greene, Meigs, Grainger

M-Upperman, Macon County, East Nashville, Cumberland

W-Westview, Jackson South Side, Dyersburg/Crockett County

That’s pretty much it! I am from West Tn! You may want to add Chester Co & Lexington in the hunt. I think Crockett Co may be the best in the West, but Westview has a mental block on Crockett Co! If they believe they can beat Westview they will, Crockett Co has a much better team than Westview this year! I haven’t seen many teams from East or middle Tn. I know East Nashville is still good but their schedule is very weak I heard. I know Cumberland still has Dishman! Upperman has Levy little sister! This should be a tough year in AA

You may be correct. Westview avenged an earlier season loss tonight against Henry County (AAA 10-3). In the 3rd, they turned it up a notch and separated. Hopefully, the Gibson County Lady Pioneers can get a win against WV tomorrow night. Should be a good game in their house.

    • 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.
