As a rule I pull for all West TN teams in Murfreesboro. Not this year.

Still another sour grapes comment. As I said Before had y’all beat TCA at least once in the finals you would have never said those comments.  Now another sour grapes comment now that y’all are done. But hey look at it like this. Maybe baseball will be like your football team. Y’all can say you at least beat the state champion this year during the regular season.

The whole fan base other than TCA got tired of watching him contesting umpires after every play or two. For the record, I know and go to work outs with some of the TCA basketball players and know their coach and I will root for them when they don't play us. But the arrogance and the non-caring and giggly attitudes of your "baseball world" after the close line of one of our best players who got knocked out for 20 minutes and was lost the rest of the post season really showed it's true colors.

Man I have No kid on the baseball team but I support TCA sports. I was Not at that game but I was Told that the throw took our kid out of position who by the way is a freshman and there was a collision. Our fan base was concerned. I feel that with you guys despise privates so bad that everything is turned up notch with your fan base. I have Seen it in football many times over the years. If people were giggly then I apologize for that. But people were concerned. But the arrogant attitude you referenced comes from winning. They made to state semi last year and are set this year. But GC should no that arrogance get get you beat. Just like football GC beat Peabody and got arrogant. Still say it is sour grapes. Didn’t here this talk in girls basketball. Oh that’s right y’all won.

Actually it isn't sour grapes. We got beat last night and got put out and it just happens. The kid on TCA that was involved in the collision actually got into it on another incident after our guy got taken to the hospital. He obviously got tagged out and he obviously thought he got tagged too hard. So it is was it is. Tempers flared with fans as well. I myself would have been very concerned if it would have been a TCA player or any player regardless of the outcome of the game. But for the record again, I for one think a lot of TCA people. I have the girls coaches personal cell number and have talked to him on several occasions and he is a class act. I know that our players and your players a couple are very close and root for each other when we are not playing each other and will probably work out together today. I hate what happend happend in baseball. I was at the park the whole time after the incident and I didn't see a lot of love lost. But I do appreciate your apology and wish you the best for your team and thanks to the one's that were concerned because we are very thankful because the kid and his parents and family are class acts and it could have been worse.  Very sad for the kid that he didn't get to finish the season and his HS career ended the way it did.

    • 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.
