Most of the kids (excluding the freshmen) know what it takes to get to Cookeville. They are on a mission and I don't believe their will be a game where less than 100% won't be given. You are right, the key is you must stay healthy! Looking for an exciting playoff season! Starting in November everybody's record is 0-0.

That’s where Tyner’s experience gives them an edge. Our team is special this year, I hope they understand what it’s going to take to get to Cookville. I know we have the talent, but we’ll have to see if we have the resolve. Last week’s game gave me pause. Hoping to see some angry/focused/hungry Tigers Friday night.

Looking at the score your team took care of business last night!! It took a quarter, or so, for the Rams to take control but that's how it goes sometimes on "Senior Night"!

Last night was a vast improvement over the Jackson County game. The only time Smith Co scored was when some 2nd and 3rd team players were in. A couple of miscues on D, but they were dialed in for the most part. Simple mistakes to fix. Offense was on point all night... well at least the first half. 1st team didn't see the field in the second half on either side of the ball. It was senior night for us as well and I know that can trow the players off their routines. But I think our boys knew they needed to shake last week's game off and get after it, which they did. They've already accomplished their first goal for the season, first Regional Championship since 1985. Now they have one more game to wrap up their second goal, Watertown's first undefeated season since 1979. After that, wipe the slate clean and set some new goals. Very proud of these young men in little ol' Watertown.

There is ONE contender-Trenton Peabody. Everyone else will be a stepping stone to the Gold ball.

Peabody will be very hard to beat but for you to say everyone else will be a stepping stone is bold statement. There are several teams from the West that has a shot at going to Cookeville.

Get outta here with that BS. Still lots of football left to be played. I hope Peabody is as cocky as you are. I’m not so sure Peabody is as good as everyone thinks. Looking at the numbers/opponents/strength of schedule etc I’d say you need to step off your high horse or be humbled.

They are that good I watched them Friday. They can be beat but they are a solid team

As good as Meigs is we slipped up severely Friday as well. The team did not appear ready for a team that wouldn't just lay down for them. in reality I hope our kids learned that sometimes other kids give 100% as well. And when they do you may have to dig deep to win. Against a top 5 team we wouldn't have been able to win a game playing only good for two quarters. Meigs is touchable. I saw that Friday.

    • 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.
