The high school doesn't need the 8th graders. I have to agree with Duke dodgers. The only girl who will get playing time is Sahara McKinney.  The 8th grade post has a bright future but to say she is better than benfield at this point would be a stretch lol

What’s crazy King is Sahara is the best athlete in the 8th grade boy or girl. She will be fun to watch.

Mckinney deserves all she gets. She prolly has as many hours on the Court as anyone at Cloudland HS/MS and has worked her tail off. Well Maybe besides her Cousins that already play on Girls Varsity squad. Yeah the 8th Grade Post player is gonna be a dandy as well. She is super strong and determined. Just needs time on the Court with those girls next year. Actually that 8th Grade team has a bunch of Talent. I’m sure Birch is looking forward to the next 4 years as Lady Lander Coach. I know I’m excited about it. Heck from this years Jrs down to the 8th graders they prolly haven’t lost a total of 20 games in Reg season ball in 5-6 years. Those girls had that game Sat in their hands as well as the State Championship last year. They were ahead by plenty in both games. But didn’t finish it and that’s what counts. A lot of broken hearts Sat but it’ll only help them in the Future. If this years HS team can get a Sub State game at home I’d say we make a State Appearance. Maybe get a good draw down there and make some noice. Wouldn’t surprise me to see them go a couple or 3 times in 4-5 years to come. Just my opinion tho

I think Ryan is going to hit a growth spurt.  Both her parents are tall and she has a high % behind the arc.  I think once christman adjusts to playing against high school posts, she'll come into her own. She might even get a few minutes later in next season.  Sahara,  barring any unforeseen circumstances may have have her Jersey retired.  I've not seen a guard that talented since courtney Clarke.  My daughters have won nearly 40 youth club games in 2 seasons,  so there's a few 6th graders who will give this 7th and 8th graders some depth once they get to high school.

The future looks bright. King when I watched the high school play Unaka I liked Ella effort and energy off the bench. She made her minutes count

Free throws have been the death knell of this Jr Landers team for the past 2 seasons now. And it's just a darn shame, because they've been superior, in every other facet of the game, to any other teams they've faced.

free throws can usually be fixed with proper technique and hard work just takes a lot of time and good teaching of the fundamentals of shooting unless it becomes a mental block this usually only happens to 1 player not a whole team

just saw where johnson county beat the lady landers tonight was this johnson county's first ever win over cloudland

Congrats to coach Tolley. He's a friend of mine and one of the best coaches in the state.  I had a feeling this might happen in mt city.  This is not as big an upset as one might think!

JoCo has been playing really well the last 2-3 weeks and that is a hard place to pick up a win. You're right this is not a major upset. Cland is still on Pace for a shot at Murfreesboro

    • 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.
