Coach Stocstill is a legend in Cornersville, but I will go ahead and say Coach Randolph is the best to ever walk the sideline in Frog Bottom.  Years from now, it will be called Randolph Field.

In all actuality, we all know Swenson will get another year with this junior heavy team. Huntingdon will once again come in as the odds-on favorites in 1A. Just like they were in 2012 and 2017. 

No one ever said they expect Huntingdon to win a gold ball every year. But when you have the talent they've had, and people across the state are expecting them to compete for the championship and you consistently getting knocked out in the quarters....

Something gotta give, here. If Swenson has more than 1 page in his playbook, he's got one more year to show it to Mustang fans.

And for everyone commenting earlier about my criticism of the defense, I AM NOT blaming the players. They played their hearts out. Miller didn't put them in the best position to make plays though. Bulldogs consistently gashed that left side, and the defense made no adjustment.

As far as the big catch that set up the game winning TD, it was a HECK of a catch. The only thing that could've been done different on that play is for #8 to knock that ball down instead of going for the pick. 

On offense, we were a shell of the team that we saw all year. They put the game on #9's shoulders and C-Ville was keyed in on him. They didn't go for any of the misdirection, and we didn't make them pay for it. #7 and #8 Are the two fastest players on the team, and they barely touched the ball. Terrible game plan by Huntingdon. Great plan by C-Ville and their players executed. Even with the 2 turnovers, C-Ville was able to overcome because of the excellent execution on both sides of the ball.

Once again, congrats to the Bulldogs and I can't wait to see you guys compete for the gold again this year!

They're not.LC is more balanced than Hunt.

Coach Randolph played his HS days at Giles county and went on to play for MTSU. I believe he coached on the Marshall County staff under Tom Turchetta. Went to Cornersville as a Bball coach and was awarded football job when it came open. He will be the first to tell you it's not him, it is his staff and his players that make home look good. Very humble man. All he asks of his players is to believe they can win and to trust in the process.

I'm gonna put this game at the top of my list as far as best games I have watched. True defensive battle between 2 really good teams. 

All of the silly penalties on both sides made it sloppy, but I agree about the defensive battle. Not just that, but there were clutch moments from both sides at pivotal points of the game. I would put this one over last year for sure for 2 reasons. 1. This one ended the winning streak on the magic carpet and 2. It was a road playoff win for Cornersville. I said earlier in the thread that streaks were made to be broken and that is exactly what happened.

I talked to one guy from Cville last week that said this group was one of the first to play youth football when they started it up, I'm a big believer in youth football making them better when they get older. As for the penalties last night, there were a ton against both teams but most were legit but the refs were a little nit picky

This was one of the best high school games I've ever seen. The stadium was awesome. Much better than Tech. Folks were nice & friendly. The Zebras did an excellent job. The Dogs coaching staff is admirable. Great job Coach Randolph & staff. With the community support I'm thinking Cornersville will continue to be a contender. They are not a 2 hit wonder. Defense wins ships. This bunch will stick you but more importantly they have their mental/responsibility game down pat. Go Dogs!

    • 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.
