Came to our game at Lawrence County, game went without incident and on our way to buses started hollering rude, vulgar language. We get on buses and leave and they proceed in 2-3 cars of them to swerve in and out of our cars hanging out window giving the bird finger, cussing and get in front of buses and hit their brakes repeatedly. 2 ladies had to take the shoulder to keep from getting hit and cops were called and they were pulled over. And 3 players were suspended because of it, funny when a parent went to GCHS to complain the AD and assistant principal knew nothing about it. I’m sorry that GCHS principal had to deal with all that during her illness, she’s a fine lady. So I’m personally just glad our game is over, wished we would have won to feel less mad about the whole situation but it is what it is. I enjoy the rivalry part as much as anyone for 49 years now, but what happened last week took it to a dangerous level. I remember in school we stole banners and had tacky language between Marshall and Giles but there was a level of respect that’s just not there anymore, it makes me sad. But social media is probably to blame for most of that!

Yeah that’s uncalled for.Did the right thing by calling police.Yeah social media puts a different spin on things these days.I hate social media to a point.I miss the days where a rivalry was a friendly rivalry and the worst things we did was send black roses to the rivals school the week of the game.

Yes I agree with you, social media has totally changed the rivalry into a very ugly battle now and also along with a lack of parenting at home for some as well. See ya next year bobcat93!

Also I left out Giles players destroyed our visitors locker rooms last night, with fire extinguishers. Doesn’t change the outcome of our game but shows how unclassy  they can be, wonder how coach will handle that. They should be made to come clean it up, instead of us having too.

So they sprayed the fire extinguishers?

1st time watching the Tigers played this season and it seems that OC has a spell over Osteen. Marshall is the better team but good grief we were undisciplined. I was thinking we would win the region but no way we beat Nolensville now. Still think we are a quarterfinal team this year. 

Giles will be a tough out for whoever gets them as a 4 seed out of their region.

There doesn’t seem to be any discussion about MC players throwing bottles and stuff out of their bus at Giles county fans as they left the parking lot Friday night Love my tigers??? Are you going to be willing to suspend your players like OC and administration did? Plus the vulgar language and hand signs they used toward player parents standing as they left? Nor the mention that your number 3 wanted to fight long after the game was over. Let’s be balanced in our story.

I don’t condone any of that stuff and I can assure you it will be handled accordingly. But it seems to me that doesn’t justify a parent climbing into the bus wanting to fight kids either. But look all I’m saying is we need to get it back to a respectable level rivalry, I just don’t compare kids saying vulgar words ( which is unacceptable as well) to your kids trying to run us off the road and cause multiple wrecks and vandalizing school property! I’m not going to discuss anything else with you, both teams need to play ball and leave the rest alone! So I’m sorry I don’t feel at all “ balanced” in my storytelling! 2 wrongs don’t make a right, but y’all started it at Lawrence County and now it’s escalated to this mess!

For crying out loud you sound like one of your students.  "You started" sounds like a kid.  You are a teacher so please act like one.  Sounds like kids from both kids where wrong and unfortunately this seems to be the youth from all over now a days.   Not a fan of either coach but I don't think any of this is their fault

I’m not a teacher, and I don’t condone any of it but what you think about me I really could care less! I’m a grown adult that wanted to remind people our kids had left them alone until they “ started “ the trouble at Lawrence County. It’s exactly the youth of today all over I agree with that but I’m in no way affiliated with teachers, just a long time Tiger alumni and fan. I know our coaches are not happy about any of it, and it will be handled accordingly. So why don’t you worry about your team and not “start” anything else with me! I’ve dealt with you before in case you had forgotten. And no the coaches can’t be blamed from either team, you try to teach kids life lessons but unfortunately sometimes they still act out , especially when you can’t be around 24/7.

    • 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.
