As a former tiger i played from 2013-2016 (graduated 2017). TC was alway one of the hardest and toughest teams we play and scrimmaged. If the tigers come out with a level head and play smart it will be a great ball game. If the Jackets come out and go up 14-0 early it will be over. Ive ben to some of the tigers practices and helped with the kickers and we have some great athletes just don't know if we can matchup with what TC has. All in all i believe it will be a great game.

I agree you guys have some really good athletes but yall will be lucky to score 7.... TC is a really good team and their defense is really really good.... Macons QB isn't a fan of contact sand TC d-line will be in the back field A LOT.... Only way Macon scores 28 is if the TC jv comes in the 2 qrtr.. Not being a d bag either just saying TC is a special team, I'd say they will be back in Cookville this year!

Don't are Macon scoring 4 TD’s on TC defense only way to beat TC is with the pass down the field. Macon offense is the kind that TC LB’s eat up. If Macon gets one touchdown against TC starters that's a moral victory for the tigers. Only Watertown has scores a TD on Trousdale starting. defense.

Bold prediction there 52. Defense is stout but their is a lot of improvement to be had. Not sure that they have face a high-powered offense either. Meigs Co. and Peabody both will give TC fits if they are fortunate to meet those teams. Offense needs to establish a passing threat, which starts with the line having the ability to protect Hicks. Then Hicks can gain some confidence in his arm. I have no doubt the kid can throw the ball but his opportunities in doing so have been few and far between. Before this year, him at QB was more of a wild cat formation.  The WRs are there and they have possibly one of the best TEs in 2A in #7 "Juice" Claiborne. But up to this point, there hasn't been much of a need to abort the run.

The Road to Cookeville will be a challenge and I'm not willing to say they will be there. Do they have the Talent, yes but game play has got to get better. They for sure have made huge gains from game 1 to now but continuous improvement is needed. Their best has got to get better!

That's one thing I've learned about High School Football. If your not striving to be better every week and improving on anything you feel your not up to par in,  It will kill you when it matters in the playoffs. Maybe even before you get to the better teams.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • 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.
