Westmoreland gets to prove itself again Friday against Macon at home this time should be a good one   I think Westmoreland does not have to win to keep everyone s respect but it does need to be really close but a win would send Larry legend back down the road with his head tucked between his legs 

 

We'll know soon enough. Macon beating Gallatin 82-69 compared to Westmorland losing to Gallatin 49-45 could be a sign of whats coming.

I doubt it will get in the 50’s.  Westmoreland is very good on defense.  Offense advantage goes to MC but Westmoreland is terrific on D.  Best defensive  team we have seen all year.  They pressure the ball and take away driving lanes.   Wish I was there to watch it.

This was never really a game tonight macon showed they are a contender for the state. 46-29 was the score in favor of macon. Westmoreland only scored 1 point in the third quarter that will bite u every time. macon is a better team by far and Westmoreland has a chance to go a long way this year but not sure they can compete with many teams if they make it to state. Macon will b tough again next season as well and Westmoreland is a team on the rise.

I agree that Macon is the better team but it kinda made me laugh when you said you wasn’t sure they could compete with many teams in the state tourney.   Oh how quickly people forget.  Wins at MC and Upperman at home shows me that they can beat any team in the state with a good night.  They held MC 20 below their game average twice this season.   A defense like that will put you in the game with anyone.  It was a around a 7 pt game at the half.  That third quarter killed them.  And MC is just too good of a team to close that gap in the 4th.   I think the Eagles could easily go deep into the  tournament.  Hopefully there is a round 3 of this matchup.

Macon had their worst game in 3 years against Westmoreland at macon and after beating them for over 5 years straight without a loss to them they did kinda take the eagles for granted. Like I said Westmoreland is improving a lot but im not sure if they will make it to state or beat anyone if they get there. these 2 teams could play 10 times and macon would win 9 of them.Macon will not have an easy road by any means but if they play with full throttle and have no injuries I think they will make it to state for the 4th year straight. And I would bet the farm the eagles  could not beat upperman again.

No doubt MC will be in final 8.  That was never debated.  I am not a Westmoreland fan but I can see without the blue glasses.  Westmoreland forced MC into a bad game!  Twice.  One quarter changed that game last night.  I never said MC wasn’t the best team.  You just don’t give the other team credit.   How many teams will Macon play that holds them in the 40s twice?  I am betting NONE.  And Westmoreland followed up the first win with a win against Upperman.  They also beat my Lady Cavs.  They have more than proved that they can beat the top teams in AA.  Ask Coach White if that team isn’t dangerous.  Good luck the rest of the year.

im not saying macon will make it to the final 8 but they are very capable of it. Im not saying Westmoreland isn't good cause they are tons better than the last few years but they always struggle at the end when they do have a good team. to b quite honest im kinda glad they beat macon the first time cause it woke them up a little my point was if u will look on page 1 of this post after the first time the eagles beat them was I if they do it the second time ill b a believer. That didn't happen u can have a good D but u also have to score.

can u hear me now ?

Macon was the better team friday night, is what it is. Some of our girls that typically have a key impact didn't play very well at all.... But don't get it twisted sister! We are still a very good team! They will get the kinks worked out and get back on the right track!!

Typically high school girls basketball, the dominate defensive team will win early in the season, then once everyone else hits a groove offensively ,margin of victories shrink and losses increase.Westy will need to learn how to score and the coach will need to make adjustments. To win the big games one has to score ,period.

Got to make it to state before u cam compete. This is the best lady eagles team I have seen in many years and they will b good next year but they got to get scorers. u have to put points on the board to b a state contender not just D.

    • 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.
