Weathers is a great freshman talent. She reminds me a lot of a younger T. Darby. She is not as seasoned as Tess or Chloe at this point. Loretto as a team doesn't handle the ball well enough to beat Greenfield. Loretto's size could give GC problems. But again they better handle the ball better. Summertown is also pretty solid. Could upset Loretto in region finals.

Thanks sis. How you been doing?  Holler at me if you ever come to a Greenfield game.

U weren't impressed by a bunch of freshmen and sophomores driving 2&1/2 hrs and sending yalls 1 and 2 seeds home.....interesting 

Huntingdon should have won that game. A coaching mistake ended the year for them. I knew McKenzie wasn't going to win and I expected them to lose by 30 to 40 because we have been so up and down this year. Me and croppy have talked on these boards all season about how down District 11 was. So coming, into these games I expected Summertown to beat the Fillies by 10 to 20 and Loretto to beat us by 30 to 40.  But both the Fillies and the lady rebels played well. Weathers could have had 40 points if she wanted to and if she would have made some more of her shots then she would have had that. We forced her into a lot of contested shots and mistakes that a typical freshmen would make. Before this season McKenzie had never won a regional game since 2003 and the way our girls showed up and showed out during the region is something to proud of. I don't think that Loretto and Summertown can beat Greenfield or GC. I was not impressed by them. Now maybe next year they can but we have to finish out this year first.

He wasn't impressed with 27 points and being face guarded either..... I think he expected Weathers to dunk the basketball and Loretto to win by 40....

It was a very hard 27 points to come by.  Most of those points came in the fourth quarter when we got tired and the person that was guarding her had to play with 4 fouls. If she is a miss basketball finalist as a FRESHMEN that she must be an amazing talent. But she is not a Chloe Moore, Tess Darby, Eddie Darby, or a Macey Lee. Weathers has a great potential but she lots of room to grow her game.

Rebelman weren't you the one boasting at the start of the yr how good McKenzie was and then recently how good Huntingdon was with Fuller back?   

I on the other hand, am very impressed that  2 teams made up of freshman and sophomores could ride a bus 2&1/2 hrs, play like crap and still send the 2 mentioned above home.  Oh, and we're gonna keep talking about this yr (Summertown/Loretto) but I guess u guys (Huntingdon/McKenzie) should go ahead and be thinking abt next yr.  

Peace!

The fact that it was a hard 27 makes it even that much more impressive.... if she was being  face guarded and still went for 27 points, that’s kind of impressive.

This is the same bunch 2 years ago that Summertown would not score threes against Dresden and would send Summertown home in the rain, Dresden went home.  Last year they said Dresden wouldnot let that happen again. 9 thress two years ago and 10 last year and more points with just threes then Dresden scored.  Its going to be a long next two years.

Fillies were a different team with Fuller. Hey we make that long trek last year and won the regional, it was worth the drive. Y'all over in dist 12 are young but so is everybody in region 6 & 7. Fillies only lose 1 starter. Next year is gonna be fun

We were expected to be good this year but a lack of conditioning during the season and off season and not working on fundamentals in practice killed our chances. We are thinking about next year lmao because we think that we can go further than this year. Huntingdon will be better next year so watch out.

    • 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.
