Tennessee high school football is about as bad as it has been in years and it shows when a one dimensional team can dominate a 6A championship game. We are about on par with Delaware or Connecticut high school football. Tennessee Vols should join the MAC.

gonna have to agree with this one. TN usually has around 1-2 teams every yr that could compete nationally (Think of corn elder ensworth yrs, BA recently, Barry Brunetti MUS teams, past riverdale teams etc) but this yr it is bad. state game was absolutely pitiful. oakland would probably get smoked out of state. 6a team running a 1a offense

It was my pleasure to call the title game for your Patriots.  This equaled some of the most dominant championship games I've witnessed over the years.

Thank you for broadcasting your show as well. Its gives football junkies like me a fix before the games. Hope to see you guys again in 2019

Oakland dominated the game and played very well. Is football that bad in Memphis in 6A because I was not impressed with the offense I seen with Whitehaven, all the athletes on that team and that’s the offense they run. They got some studs on defense. Oakland’s coaching and defense took overt this game early.

Pretty sure Whitehaven is much better than they showed last night. Oakland is just that good on defense. Whitehaven only had one first down real late into the 4th quarter and ended up with three which should tell anyone questioning Oakland's defense. The Maryville game went pretty much the same way. I know a lot of people were questioning if the run is over at Maryville last week but after watching that game last night it should show anyone with any intelligence at all that Oakland is just that good. They had most of their starters back from last year and picked up two prized transfers also. Before the season it was who would be number two because it was no doubt who number one would be.

No football isn’t that bad in Memphis. We just had a horrible night against a great team and got whooped. Nobody including us Whitehaven folks were impressed with that shell of our offense. Us coming out flat like that is typical but digging yourself in a hole against a team who’s main focus was to bury you so you couldn’t dig out again was disastrous. Our team builds off of momentum and big plays and we just couldn’t get the momentum going. That blown fumble recovery touchdown call on top of our best player getting hurt on the one kick return that wasn’t a touchback just deflated us completely.  Our quarterback missed a couple big passes but to his defense he was getting killed all game. Oakland came out focused with a purpose. We came out and laid an egg and the score literally reflected that. But on the bright side we got almost our whole linebacker core and a couple other key players coming back next year. We’ll be back.

    • 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.
