Was very impressed with what I seen, beating Riverdale by 4, GC by 21 at the glass house, just a name a couple.  Beat several big AAA teams,  playing 9 players, gonna be a very interesting season..

Clarkrange is a very good team. No difference between Greenfield, Loretto and them, IMO. Losing our PG on day 1 of summer was huge. We were undefeated during AAU season and literally you could count TO's on one hand in AAU play. We literally had about 25 TO's in the game against Clarkrange. Not saying we would beat you because your team is really good as they were last year but we have lost several games since she got hurt. Beat some good teams but she is a beast PG. The Monday's are really great players and are some kind of quick and handle the ball well. Really like your team's chances as I did last year. Last years state game against Greenfield was just a bad game, IMO.

Should make state,big"if "can get on opposite side of bracket from Greenfield and Loretto may possibly make championship game.

Don't think so. I agree it helps to get a good draw as we did last year, but Greenfield and Loretto are not unbeatable. We smoked a team (4A champs in AR) by 22 that just beat Greenfield and Martin 2 weeks ago. Clarkrange is quicker than Loretto, IMO and just as quick as Greenfield.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but who is the PG for GC you keep talking about? I only saw a couple games last year and I don’t remember another kid handling the ball at point besides the Lannom girl. Is she a freshmen? Didn’t get to see any AAU/ travel ball either. Not that spring stuff matters much anyway.  I just found out that Peabody PG that would be starting for them this year, her mother’s job transferred her to Memphis so Peabody has been playing without a true PG this summer. I don’t think the west will be as tough as last yr with the exception of Greenfield. I don’t even think Gleason will be any improved either. Looks like same ol same ol ball from Gleason. They are a year older with several decent seniors but I just haven’t seen much improvement in them the last 3 yrs.

Kacey Sweat. Very good PG. Didn't play PG a ton last year with Lannom and Kj. She played 2 and 3 mostly. She had 12 in the state game against Summertown. We have a sophomore that has been playing PG this summer. She is going to be good but has had some growing pains. GC will be strong offensively Inside and Out. We didn't lose an AAU game period with her. GC stays healthy wait until February comes around. Dresden, Peabody, Gleason, Huntingdon will all be good. West TN will be tough again. I have seen them all. Childress is better than ever at Dresden and Fuller is back healthy at Huntingdon. UC won't be a pushover. Our district will be weak with a two team race with us and yow.

Straight from the TSSAA bylaws:

"50% Rule – Participation (includes practice or games) during the school year on a non-school team prior to the school season by students that will play the following season on the high school team is limited to 50% of the number of players required to play the game. Only the specified number of students participating on a non-school team prior to the school season may be placed on the high school eligibility list (TSSAA Portal Roster) the following season. Those students cannot be interchanged on the school’s team roster."

I believe the key to this is "prior to the school season".  To play or practice with more than 3 players from one high school team in August/September/October would be illegal no matter who is coaching.

    • 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.
