If Gleason gets a good game from Burton and when Atkins is knocking down shots, they are a tough team to beat. They can beat anybody if they get a good game from those two players. 

Oh no, we aren’t counting out Gleason at all.  I think anyone would prefer to play Gleason over Greenfield though. Neither will be easy.  Dresden will be a tough game as well for the second place team.  Greenfield/Madison is probably the only easy game left.

Agree on the Greenfield/Madison "bye."  I don't think the winner of tonight's game will have too much trouble with Union City either, after that all games will be a war!

For sure! If I’m Peabody and Gleason I’m just happy I’m gonna be opposite Greenfield in semis of Region! I think the match up favors Peabody also if they can keep Gleason from running thru set after set! Peabody’s pressure will be the difference in that game! If Peabody can disrupt gleasons sets they win, if Gleason comes down and runs thru stuff over and over again then Gleason wins! I think it will be close thru half time but then I expect a run from Peabody as the pressure keeps up! I for sure wouldn’t want to finish 2nd tonight in championship GC vs. TCA, good chance it will be over for you by Saturday for sure! I’m just convinced Greenfield with 2 kids that can get you 20+ every night and another one that is getting 10-15 will be to hard to beat at UTM! Other kids have really come along also!

Hey Babalou! Lol Those are some great points but I think Greenfield knows that GC or TCA will be a tough out!

I hope you’re right.

GC pretty much controlled the entire game tonight.  Don’t exactly remember the final score but TCA made a little run late to make it a little closer.  Thing the largest lead was 19.  GC defense tonight was elite.  Think TCA scored as many in the 4th once the game was over as they did the rest of the game.  Looks like GC is peaking at the right time.   Greenfield definitely will be in for a dog fight in region semis with TCA.  Really good team

Greenfield better be pulling for Dresden. I don't know if Greenfield has anyone to slow their posts down. TCA, IMO has a good coach only thing I would do a little different is not sub quite as much. GC has pretty much cut their rotation down.

    • 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.
