District 14A

I don’t think I see a thread made so far about this district. Most of the Peabody players are in football still, so the slow start to the season will probably get better when they get back. I see where Madison, and Humboldt are off to good starts so far this year and that’s about the only two teams I’ve seen anything about. Who takes the district crown and why? Who is the dark horses in this respected district?

Oh gosh Madison played like trash against during the first game of the season. But they put 101 on the board against Chester County. You can tell that it is early in the season for them. I think Peabody gets over Humboldt this year. Without 5 to 7 players they still looked like a postseason team when we played them yesterday. I like to see this Peabody team play. I think that they will make some noise in the postseason.

I say Peabody, Humboldt and Madison all compete. Madison is young but very good. At the end of the day I see Peabody winning it

It’ll be a battle for sure. We have several kids out due to football. Maybe we can get at least 1 or two more wins till we get out big man back. That’s been our downfall is not having a big man to feed and guard the post yet.

It should be a close game but hard to win in Humboldt on a Friday night! Hopefully, SG will be tired since they play Haywood on Tuesday!!

South Gibson beat Ridgeway last night.  SG is an experienced, well oiled machine that is very well coached.  They have a very deep bench and have lots of size.  Along with Haywood, they could be the two best teams in West Tn outside of Memphis. 

South Gibson by 15 over Humboldt.

Humboldt only lost one (1) starter (Pankey) & beat SG twice last year as well as Brownsville by 22 at Brownsville. If, SG beats Humboldt, it want be by fifteen (15) points. Humboldt has played Westview(AA), Liberty(AA), Obion County (AA), Arlington(AAA) Crockett county (AA-jamboree) & Sacred Heart (Private) & have won all games.  SG will be another big test for Humboldt but I think the Vikings will be ready & has a entire week to prepare since they don't have a game Tuesday night.

Look at the list of teams u mentioned. How many of those are quality teams in your opinion? Just curious 

westview is 3-2

obion is 2-3

liberty- 1-2

Arlington 1-2

They have a combined record of 7-9. 

I’m looking forward to Friday night, can’t wait to watch it. Humboldt won’t be able to guard south Gibson inside. The game will come down to whether or not Gibson can handle the basketball or not. Should be a good one and good crowd with such close proximity. 

 

South Gibson will be the best team that Humboldt has played so far.

    • 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.
