South Pitt 

Huntingdon

Lake County

Cornersville

Coalfield

Greenback/Oliver Springs tie

 

Cornersville was only an honorable mention this year for the top 10. Thank you for putting us in 4th, but I like where we are. We will see what the season holds and maybe we can sneak up on some folks again this year.

You don't know if Greenback would have beat Cornersville last year or not. Cornersville was better than Whitwell last year but didn't get it done. Here we go again with the east is superior junk again. We will see. Dresden destroyed a good Greenback team a few years back. I guarantee you that it's not a touchdown difference in the top 3 teams this year. Not so sure Greenback will be as good as the last few years. Yeah, Greenback should be 4 in the polls but the press will keep you in the top 3 all year. I like your thinking though at least you support your team.

The Dresden team that beat GB a few years ago would have mopped the floor with the teams that has made it and won it the last few years. A healthy GB team last year would have beat cornersville. we lost two of our best players last year one before season and one in the playoffs. If you go back and watch our games you would see that those two made a lot of our big plays and scored most of our points unless we were playing weak opponents.

Last year WhitwellCornersvilleGreenbackSouthPitt were all this close.  This year hasn't even begun.  But I will say it should be close again with 2 teams from each side of the bracket capable of bringing home the gold.  

I agree, I hope we can get things going bye playoffs and make it three from east side.

If our receiver didn’t get hurt last year, we would’ve beaten Whitwell and Cornersville. And that Dresden team you’re talking about would whoop y’all Falcons plus whoever wanted to play them by a good margin. I know firsthand. We don’t know how the GB team will be this year but it won’t surprise me one bit of this team is better than last year. And the east is superior until you take back the Gold ball.

    • 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.
