CONGRATS TO MY HORNETS!!!! Found a way to win the game! 

SGC jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first half. Both teams went to the locker room and found the defense!. Most people do not enjoy a defense struggle but I do! This was a defensive showcase for both teams. The turnover towards the end game really hurt Milan because they were driving. 

I tip my hat to Milan. They had a chance to win this contest. They held SGC to 10 points when they were averaging 40ish on the season. 

Also, Milan can build on that defense! WOOW! they are salty!

Milan must find something on the offensive side of the ball. 

SGC will play host to the Cavs next week.  I look for a close game with them. 

Again, another classic game between our programs and SGC makes a little history tonight with the first win against the dawgs at home! 

Good night.

Absolutely agree with everything you just said. Was an amazing game. South Gibson is a good football team. They play good defense and didn’t shoot themselves in the foot on offense. They will have a good year. A couple of things last night were encouraging for Milan. 1 is the defense. They are playing great. Kept us in the game til the very end. 2 was the heart and determination they showed. Played til the last whistle. My main concern is the offense and our inability to put together drives. We seem to rely way too much on big plays. Hopefully we can find a rhythm and consistency in moving the football.right now it looks like we draw our plays up in the dirt before each game and that’s what we go with. Keep working boys. Keep improving. You can do it.

I respect your opinion BPM, so my question to you is how do you see this region turning out? I really thought that Covington and Milan would be 1-2 in some order, and it still could shake out that way, but it will be tough for Milan. What say you?

My honest opinion is that Covington will win the region again. Also I think this Milan team is very talented and has the ability to win the region but they won’t. Several problems, some of which I won’t mention on here, that will prevent that. I think that Westview and South Gibson will join Covington in the playoffs. I think that either Milan or McNairy will be left out. 

Milans biggest problem is inconsistency on offense. It seems that the coaches are trying to get the ball in the hands of their playmakers and let them do their thing. Which is normally a great idea but there is no scheme or consistent ability to block being shown. Offensive line play is poor and needs to improve. Defense is a bright spot. 

We are 1-2 and 0-1 in the region but I have seen some improvements the last two weeks since we played Peabody. If we can keep working and keep improving maybe we can stumble into a playoff spot. If we make it in we could cause some havoc. Just my two cents....

Doesn’t south Gibson go to Crockett next week?  Not host them

Yes, we are @ Crockett. I had my wires crossed last night. 

We BETTER be ready to play. Crockett runs almost the exact same offense that we run and when you play a team like that they see everything that you do every single day in practice and it makes everything tougher.

    • 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.
