Still didn’t answer the question. What “average” team played them close? You know nothing about the teams they played from Alabama and can’t point to an average team that played them close. We play who we had to in the region. And if I remember correctly, Gibson Co beat Huntington by 5 during the year  

Greenfield or Clarkrange are the favorites but to get on here and yap about things you know nothing about like your comment, is hilarious and insulting to the ladies at Loretto. Like someone said earlier, they beat last year’s runner up 4 out of 5 times they played this year. And with a roster that has one senior, Loretto will be a fixture in this thing for the next few years. 

Summertown starts 4 sophs and a freshman!  Loretto and Summertown will be around for a long time.

Summertown and Loretta both real good teams and could win it all. I think the average team he is talking about is McKenzie because the way they played the regular season. But they got hot at the end and played well especially against Loretta. They would have played anyone good that night. Thought the Summertown win against Huntingdon was a good win. I was there and Huntingdon was a different animal when Fuller came back. Both of you guys will be around a while for sure. We know yow can play. Our distinct is not the best either and will get worse next year when TCA goes private. You can't help what District you play in.

Correct me if I am wrong but Loretta lost two of their starters.  I know one for sure.  I think if they had them, they WOULD be the favorite to win. I saw them play McKenzie and struggle with them.  They did not shoot well and IMO relied too heavily on the freshman phenom, and she is a phenom!  If she is off, and they play like they did against McKenzie, they may get beaten.  That being said, they pass the eye test for sure.  Every girl looks like they can ball!  I thought they would manhandle McKenzie based on how the two looked in warmups, but they proved otherwise in the game.  However, if they all show up aggressive and don’t leave every possession up to the freshman, they have potential to win it all, this year and for a few to come.

I think Single A is wide open. Going to be interesting as all have a shot at the Gold. I hope GC plays like they did at our Christmas Tournament and the way we played Westview at home and against TCA in the District Championship.Thought we played better offensive second half of MBA.

You want to know the truth about it, Huntingdon would have been very dangerous up here with Fuller back. That was a big win for Summertown. Huntingdon got a ton better as year went on.

Toughest draw was Clarkrange - Greenfield. Clarkrange is best team I have seen play this year. They are superfast with the Monday twins and everybody on the team can shoot lights out. I dont think any other teams bench runs as deep as theirs. If Greenfield controls the tempo they could win but of they try to run with them it will be another story.

We played them this summer and they relied in the three with penetration and kick outs. Didn't have a lot of post action against us. We had a couple of girls out that week and they beat us by 10 or so.. They beat Macon as well I think and either beat Riverdale or played them close. Riverdale only beat us by 6. But that was summer ball and little different but you could tell they had talent. They will turn the ball over some and create some TO's. Difference in our summer game was they hit four more threes than us.

Seen yalls game with them at MTSU and several of their games through the season. Totally different beast when season started. If anybody is game planning them based on summerball they will get a rude awakening. There isnt a team in that division with a bench as deep as theirs.

I just said we played them and they are good no doubt. We got Summertown to worry about now. Not worrying about game planning them now. I will assure you of this. There is two ways to look at this. Your view is basically Greenfield got a bad draw. I see that. But Clarkrange also got a bad draw too.

Have'nt seen Clarkrange so just going on word of mouth and reputation for this season, but I have seen Greenfield on a number of occasions. If anyone can control tempo of the game it will be Greenfield, with also my opinion the best point guard in the State,  against I think any of the opponents. I agree Clarkrange got a bad draw and that's taking nothing away from Clarkrange.

    • 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.
