I saw one of the most successful coaches in William Blount's history and also Heritage in town today. I was going to walk up to him and ask his opinion why both county football teams have sunk to the level their at but he looked like he was on first base with some random female he must of known and headed for second so I didn't bother him.

Some things never change.

Was it David Gregory? Did he have on that sterling silver chain linked necklace on that he always wore?

Siiiiiigh.

Ol' Shadroach grow's weary of listening to the lemmings discuss the "why's" of the recent exodus of football players from WB. It seems the panacea is "those boys just want to play for a gold ball" "they weren't getting playing time at the big school so they went to smaller programs".  Allow me to correct all that, please. The "Gold Ball" theory is simply a byproduct of superior coaching. Nothing more nothing less. The athletes are the same caliber at both programs. Don't believe me? Put them on the same field this spring! The "Smaller Program/Playing Time" theory holds no water either. The programs they have gravitated towards are ones where the competition for playing time is fierce and competitive. The difference here is the coaching staff puts the BEST 11 on the field. Players COMPETE for playing minutes instead of their dads competing with boot licking the coaches and back room deals. 

While the bleeding of players leaving the program isn't arterial (yet) it is a sign of a systematic problem. EVERY year players that want to have a chance to play at the next level (college) and players that simply want to experience High School football in a pure form leave WB. We never hear players from other programs leaving surrounding schools to come here do we? Nothing will change until there are changes in the upper echelon of the program. Like a tumor, it must be eradicated with great prejudice. Until then the the power and energy will keep ebbing away from WB and the excuses of why will keep proliferating.

You must have all the solutions Mr. Roach, but you never answer anyone's questions.

I have been watching closely, wondering why you are deleting are your hateful posts... But the bolded, highlighted, underlined excerpt lets me in a little more insight of you... SO you have told us you aren't a parent of a player (current or transferring to other programs), you aren't on the staff, sir, you have done a great job of showing the viewers who you Are NOT... Only time will tell who you really are... you just can't help yourself... True WB supporters, you should start 'Building a Wall'!!!

The Govs should win at least 4 or 5 games this year. It will be inexcusable to do worse than that.

-Mo west was 3-7 last year with all 3 wins coming by 5 points or less and 2 of those were against 5A teams

-Heritage was 0-10 last year. Closest game was a 20 point loss

-Sevier Co (5A) was 2-10 last yr and 1 of those wins was vs Heritage

-Lenior City (5A) team with a losing record that WB beat last year

Elizabethan - (4A) team that is over 120 miles away. This one will surprise them a little.

Is Vonore on next years schedule?

4 wins should be a gimme!But something tells me otherwise!

    • 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.
