Well we wont know for sure till fall,with the baseball team doing as well as it has and is expected there is no reason to have it without all our players.I do expect a few days of shorts and helmets to get some of the new guys familiar with our schemes.We return a very big physical line on offense and our front seven on D will be better than the past few years.Our secondary should also be improved.QB is a question mark and also RB as of now,those questiins should be answered by the start of region games.We should be an outstanding defensive team with a run heavy Offense.We may struggle in our out of region games,i expect Loudon to be much improved and they return Action Jackson who is the best player we have played against the past two years and Lenoir City will push us just from the shear size of the 5A school.Have alot of question marks but i expect us to be a very good team by playoff time.Our coaches have done a great job of getting our boys ready.

(Im sure you are being kinda of sarcastic in the question for Bassys sake but figured i would give you all my synopsis LOL)

I garuntee you wont no until fall because all the durn transfers wont be there until then.  That Ryan man gets them their in the fall so he doesnt have to list them in my Murphy Fair book.  He can trick Grider like that.  You think im joking but im not.

 Dad Burnit, From sources in the breakroom, it is obvious the term “IT’S COMING” should be taken seriously by the kinfolkes round the jailhouse! Who ever heard a bat toting feud score 23-1? Rumor is it should be close to 30-1 ifin the bat Toters coach hadn’t called off the dogs! LOPAO, at ease fellers! OP knowds tho ain’t a bat Toters thread.

Old pirate I garuntee I asked that man at Ronnies red eye and he said them jailhouse fellars wouldnt let our boys bat but twice.  What kind of mess is this? The kinfolk is making up rules.  I thought a baseball game was nine innings not two innings.  This is a bunch of mess. You think im joking but im not.

I just had a chance to see some of the football guys I haven't seen since football last season, and OMG, some of them have worked so hard in the weight room.  I salute the coaches or coach who put them on a strict program and also to the guys themselves with the will power to want to get bigger and faster. Since I've watched SP football for over 40 years, I would have to say this group of young men have put the work in more than any other class I have ever noticed. You can see the difference by just there looks. Hope it translates to good things on the field this year. Keep your heads mentally sharp and keep working hard.  You all know who you are, so again, Congrats for the hard work.

    • 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.
