 University High-Johnson City

Cosby

Fayetteville

Eagleville

Loretto

 McKenzie

MAHS

Manassas 

 

This will be the 8 teams!

Loretto isn't going into CA and beating them. Mark that down. McKenzie is good, but if Summertown shoots 40% in that game, McKenzie would be gone. I will go with them beating ER. Fayetteville isn't beating Clay in Celina.

I wouldn’t sleep on that Oneida team especially at home!

Well, they are now @ home no more. :wink: They did win their Sectional matchup. They drew Loretto though in the state quarterfinal game. Loretto is 31-1 & tough so I think Oneida will be whipped pretty good in the opening round of the state tourney.

Yeah that’s true about girls but I’m talking about the Boys sectional matchup. I believe Oneida will not only end Cosby girls season but the boys as well :eek:

I thought Cosby boys would beat University High in the R-1A Championship Game. University High beat them so I'm not sure about Cosby now. I think you're right. Oneida boys definitely have a good chance of knocking Cosby out of the postseason in their Sectional matchup tomorrow night even though I picked Cosby. LOL!

Oneida is peaking at the right time. They beat a Harriman team that had beat them 3 times this year for Region Title. I don’t know much bout Cosby but I do know that Oneida will be packed out tomorrow night and should be a great game.

Ok I am picking the West's games because I don't know anything about the other games. 

Columbia Academy over Loretto: I have seen CA once at McKenzie and to me they looked like a legitimate state contender. Very fast team and great shooters. Loretto has a big kid in James that is great athlete and a PG that is a lights out shooter. I think this is a close game but CA gets the edge.

McKenzie over East Robertson: McKenzie is a quick and athletic team, where all five starters can hit the three. Will be a sold out crowd at Bethel. McKenzie is a very underrated team in Class A.

Humboldt over MAHS: Humboldt has all the pieces that a great team should have. Quick athletic guards and a big stout front line. Humboldt is a very tough place to win at especially in the postseason.

Manassas over Peabody: This game will be a lot closer than people think it will be. Peabody has played Humboldt very well this season. They have a Mr. Basketball candidate in Harris and he can do it all. Peabody has had other players step up big for them in the postseason. Manassas pulls away late to win.

Cosby folks y’all better get to Oneida early! I got a feeling y’all ain’t gonna like Oneida after tonight. It’s gonna be a great fun atmosphere for a high school game!

There was a lot of parity in girls basketball on the eastern side, but the dang middle and west has some strong teams.  As for tonight, I think the Indians defend the home court

King I sure hope to have the boys joinin the girls in the Boro. We will find out after tonight but the turn around that this boys team has had in 2 years in remarkable! 2 years ago they may have won 5 games and to have the chance at the State tournament tonight is pretty dang good!

Same could be said for UH - 8-20 two years ago to 28-5 this year and a shot a state tonight! I know all the teams and coaching staffs work really hard, but to see some "Cinderella"s" with a shot is pretty cool.

    • 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.        
    • 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.
