How ‘bout ‘dem Admirals all you doubters? !!!  Close one against HV y’all said? 

I don’t know why everybody always seems to either strongly root against Farragut, or sell them short and not give them the respect and credit they are due for being a really good team and program.  They were by far the dominant team in Region 1. Without having been cheated by the officials in the Bearden game, they would be undefeated.  Furthermore, 7 of their 10 games were blowout wins.  It seems to me that it’s time to give some props to the Region 1 champs!

PS:  If someone hears about the status of the HV player who was carted off please update us.  It looked really bad.  Praying that it’s not nearly as bad as it looked.

They rolled tonight! Fun to watch when they are playing like that.

Farragut established Carter early, which they failed to do against Bearden, and it certainly paid dividends with play-action and the passing game.  

Corum was HUGE in this game on both sides of the ball. He nearly had a third INT that would have gone to the house after doing a tremendous job diagnosing a screen.

Really have to hand it to the Admirals offensive line... they came ready to play. 

Thoughts, prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery to the Hardin Valley player that was injured.

Ads showed their defensive strength by shutting down most passing options all night.  Unfortunately the play selection for the Hawks returned to uncreative and predictable.  Penalties were huge back breakers all night negating over 100 yards of big momentum plays.  HVA defense kept them within striking distance but 3 trips to the red zone with no points and 4 turnovers against a tough team spelled disaster for the Hawks. Congrats to the Guts for the district championship.  On to the next goal... beat them Owls!

HVA’s #24 carted off last night is good... I think it was mainly precautionary to get him to the hospital.  Deep neck sprain or stinger and no serious damage. :thumb:

Appreciate the prayers and respect... always nerve racking when those type injuries occur.

So you can't see a troll for what he is? Are you that blind? Did you see his screen name? What if some troll made a screen name that cast aspersions toward the school you support? Nobody from Blount County uses the term "North Blount County". His intent was to get some sort of reaction out of other posters. He succeeded this time. So what is your problem with other posters that support MHS? I think you can say crapper, since the flush toilet was invented by Thomas Crapper.

Are you so blind you can't tell when l was being sarcastic. I forgot l said something about Maryville. You all must have a button the shocks you when someone says something about Maryville. Like l said in an earlier post, l don't really have a team l support. Some l like. I think you gave me an ldea for my next screen name.

I’m so glad to hear it wasn’t too serious!  Good luck to HVA in the playoffs!

Are you so blind you can’t find the sarcastic font?

From the perspective of a Farragut fan, I hope the Admirals decide to introduce Kyle Carter to the offensive game plan a bit earlier and more often than they did against Bearden. Farragut also had 3-and-out possessions in the second half where Carter was running strong - but got ZERO touches ; I just don't understand that. I heard someone say during the game that he had been nursing a nagging injury, however he certainly ran hard and looked great in the second half. Hopefully, the open date gave he and a couple of other key players an opportunity to get completely healthy.

I would also (still) really like to see Farragut substitute more freely on the defensive front... but I don't expect it. I don't know what I am missing, but it seems to me that the defense couldn't help but benefit from a rotation of fresh players at all D line positions, particularly in a 30 front. However, I suppose the coaches feel like a couple of those kids are better fatigued than the backups are when fresh. I am not sure why A. Johnson doesn't get more dedicated reps at Nitro... if for no other reason than to give TerHark an occasional breather. In 2016, the rotation at Nitro paid obvious dividends in the second half, especially in the playoffs.

I couldn't agree with you more ... the rotation in D is none existent and kids are gassed by the 4th... doesn't make any sense to me ...

    • 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.
