McNairy's only shot at making it to the playoffs is to win this game. Tall order but it could happen. 

I am glad this game is at Milan. The dawgs can lock up a playoff spot with the win here. If McNairy loses they can still make the playoffs if the beat Covington the last week of the season and Westview loses out. Because that scenario is probably not gonna happen McNairy is gonna be fired up to get this win. Will be a great game.

Due to McNairys lack of defense Milan will score easy. 

McNairy doesn't fair well against good Defenses. So I think Milan by 2 TD'S

I hope you are right. On another note, tell me about Hardin Co. thy lost to you guys opening night but have reeled off 6 straight. The one time I saw them they were impressive. The TE with the Alabama Ofer was the goods. What are yalls thoughts??

concernedbobcat, the offense has scored 42 or more in six of their seven games. It is hard to do much better than that in high school.

MC has a better team than Hardin County. The Bobcats may not make the playoffs and Hardin Co. will likely win their region which says a great deal about their region.

It should be a good game. McNairy is usually better on defense against teams that run the ball traditional. They have issue with teams that do a lot of miss direction runs. But, if Milan can throw the ball Friday, it will put a lot of pressure on the McNairy offense to score against that Milan defense. Also, this is probably the best passing offense Milan has faced since Trenton. So, I think it will be a good test for their defense as they are going to have to stop both run and pass.

Yes this is a must win for McNairy. More than likely, they have to beat Milan and Covington to get in. I believe they only have two paths:

1. Beat Milan and Covington and they are in outright

2. Beat Milan, then Milan has to lose to Westview. McNairy gets the head to head tie breaker over Milan

Hardin County is a good team. I'd say we are about even. The big difference in the game was we blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown. Also, Hardin Co tried running the ball too much against us. We shut it down. They also got too happy with throwing the deep ball, had a lot of overthrows while guys were running open on intermediate routes. They gashed us when they threw those routes with yards after catch. If they would have thrown all night, I'm not sure we would have beat them. They have a good QB, I believe he is getting some looks, a couple WRs that are good, and the RB is suppose to be good but we bottled up the run game. Then of course the the TE is ranked in Top 60 in his class and the #1 or #2 TE in the country by one site. The defense looked athletic but they had a hard time stopping our offense.

    • 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.
