Recommended Posts

Been away thus week out of tiwn, but not surprised that everyine almost outside of Trojan fans are picking Haywood. I guess everyone forget that our Trojans are just as determined to prove good teams can lose to tg2e same team twice in the same season....Go Trojans......stay focus and give them what they want and more.

I am not doubting Haywood could win, but that is a little too much of a flip IMO, could be wrong.....

Bro, you saw what happened to Pearl last week right???

ive seen Hookfin get dump trucked in a regular season game by Lexington and face them again in the playoffs and the big red fans were gone at half down 35...anything can happen in high school athletics

I'm going Haywood with the tougher schedule paying off in addition to having more overall talent. The only issue may be coaching shortcomings for the Tomcats. Haywood has always typically had better athletes than every opponent they play and have for years, yet it hasn't reflected that advantage in recent years(especially the last several 10 or so). Haywood has way underachieved as of late. Cats were expected to be 9-1, 10-0 themselves this year however it's DHS with the 10-0 & the head to head win. Look what Liberty finally achieved with another coach/TT, then only to fall completely off the map with the guy they(Liberty) have now. The LHS AD or Principle that made the decision to get the guy over at Liberty now should be kicked out of any leadership or administration position whatsoever for complete total incompetency. Guy is like 5 and 100 with Liberty and JCM and all that talent. 

Back to Haywood @ DHS, may be flipping on second thought

Trojans     24

Tomcats   14

It’s hard to say Haywood has underachieved isn’t it???

In all likelyhood they will have played and lost to 2 state championship contenders in Henry Co and MUS.  Throw in Dyersburg or Springfield and the worst they’ve done is losing to a 2nd round player in Briarcrest that fell, what 10-3 to MBA??? The other 3 losses are all playing quarterfinals. That’s impressive. 

This is Hookfins 4th year with the Tomcats. I believe they’ve made the playoffs each year...and falling each year to the eventual state championship contender/winner Memphis East and Springfield.  He brought them to the semifinals in year 3 same as he did Liberty. Haywood hasn’t seen this much success since Stowe left. And yes, they became a doormat soon after that departure...but underachieving, that’s just 1 man’s opinion, same as mine 

I would imagine most of us believe Whitehaven has the most raw talent in the state and they don’t win the gold ball every year.  Are they underachieving as well???

Great post tho, seriously.  Stirred up a lot of emotion for yours truly

The pads will do the talking tonight!!  Games aren't won on message boards so it really doesn't what "everyone" thinks including the papers!!  Can't wait until 7:00.

Hopefully Springfield can take care of business tonight in Jackson and get to head west one more time next week to face the winner of this game.  No matter who wins, it would make me happy just to be able to play either one. 

It will be good to be playing next week!! A good problem to have!

    • 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.
