I still say 7-3. I think we find a way to beat Haywood in Brownsville this year. Beech is expected to be very tough, if not the favorite in 5A, and they’ve probably had a picture of our logo hanging at the center of a locker room dartboard all offseason. After beating them twice last season, and playing at Shackle Island? That’s gonna be a tough one. 

Brentwood High and Germantown will be strong. HC has not traditionally fared too well against larger schools. Germantown having a new coach could factor in, but that’s still a long road trip and I hear their cupboard is far from bare. 

The region should be a clean sweep.

I can see this as well. Very good analysis. I think we drop a tough one to Beech on the road, and win 1 of 2 against Brentwood and Germantown. Both will be very tough matchups but I just think we’ll be better mid season, barring any key injuries, than we will be at the start. Especially with several new starters, including quarterback.

Says HC when I look at it? I don’t think there’s anything to worry about there, from what I’ve been told he’s 100% solid to us.

Him and 3 other Martin MS players were at the Martin Wal-Mart yesterday trying to raise money for the future stars team. Wonder how the people in Martin would feel if they knew the money they were giving was going to a kid who was going to be playing for HC in a few months??

Don’t see what it matters really. He’s still technically a Martin athlete at this point, and I assume the other 3 players are staying put in Martin right? I don’t see how anyone over there could blame the kid for leaving under the circumstances. The person I talked to about him a few days back said everyone knew he was gone. Either way, I’m glad we are getting him.

I didn’t say the kid was wrong for wanting to go to HC. I probably would too. Just don’t know if people in Martin know it. They might think twice about donating money to him.

If we Henry Countians know he’s coming, I’m pretty sure the people of Martin know he’s leaving. Either way I don’t see the big deal. You make this all-star team due to your performance on the field right? Which he would’ve done as a member of their Jr High team.

Trust me I know personally that people in Martin know he is leaving. Some are supportive and some are not. That's just how it is. The kid and his parents have nothing bad to say about Martin. They love it, the kid just wasn't going to get the playing time at Martin behind Ty Simpson. He will have much more playing time at Henry County and he has several family members in HC.

I’ve heard the same and I don’t think they’re trying to hide it. Like I said, I don’t see anything wrong with what they’re doing, he made this team as a Martin athlete. Plus there’s other players involved as well. I don’t see the issue. Sounds like someone stirring the pot a little to me.

There has been a lot of talk about this upcoming season based on a kid that might be coming from Martin. Whether he becomes what he is hyped to be or not this Henry county team will be successful. If he is given the opportunity and preference that the older kids have not seen, he will not be glorified like what has been shown on this board. The older kids will be looking for their shot in practice.  How the coaches manage this will be interesting to see. The kid is not a super athlete, he is a kid that has worked hard and has developed a skill set uncommon for a kid his age. There are 4 or 5 kids per year in Henry county that have the same ability. They have just not been following the Simpson kid around for two years to all the 7 on 7 camps and other functions developing a skill set. The next 4 years will be successful in Henry county just like the previous decade or so based on the the kids from Henry county.

I get what you are saying and maybe he doesnt even start this next year. And that's fine. But the kid has more talent than you know. The hype is real and I cant wait for Ryan to show out whether it is this coming season or next. The kid right now in the 8th grade has Will Parrish ability to throw the ball when he was in 12th grade. It's just an exciting time in Henry County. The next 4 years for sure will be fun times.

I saw one of the Inman games, and some video. He is accurate and his mechanics are good. The highlight reels show some 35 yard passes over the top that receivers are are running good routes and making good catches. There are current QB’s that can throw further than that and have more athletic ability, but they may not turn into the polished passer the kid from Martin looks to be. 

Saw this post you had made. Had a few questions. First off name a QB on Henry Countys roster right now that has the most athletic ability? Second, if the freshman can throw 35 yards over the top with accuracy why are you concerned with throwing it any further?

    • 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.
