Interesting.  

Bet that radio guy was just awful to listen to.  :popcorneater:

And that's one Powell folks still wish they had back.  Powell had cut the lead to 5 running the football in the second half, gets the ball back with 5 minutes to go in the 4th quarter at it's own 40 and decides to get pass happy.  

Holding, another holding, incomplete, short gain then 2 more incompletions and before we know it it is 4th and the Alcoa Aluminum plant and opportunity gone.  

But Maryville always just found ways to win those games.  That's why they are who they are.  

During that era, Halls, Powell, Central, and West were all talented enough in given years to win 4A state championships, but none of them could ever get past Maryville.  

HTV, thought just ran through my head. Who was the OC/QB coach for Powell that game? Might have been why we went to passing. lol

Barney,

You are a clown. You constantly mention WB and Heritage like we are on the same level. Heritage has had many winless seasons and WB has never had a winless season. Oh, and we have dominated them for over two decades. It isn't even close. We have also dominated other "bad" local schools like Karns and Campbell County.

Greenback has scored two touchdowns this season and the Govs are in position to make the playoffs for the second year in a row and finish 5-5 for the first time in over a decade. Get out of here with your nonsense.

With a little luck playing Cleveland you may just make the playoffs, I'm pulling for you all. Your confidence in their program sure means a lot, I don't see it but I'm sure glad someone does.

This kid lit Heritage on fire last week. I am so surprised his family would waste his talents at the ArmPit of Knox County Football  Karns. I swear they should have Karns, Heritage, Union County, William Blount, Sequoyah, Lenior City, Clinton, Seymour and Jefferson County in their own special conference for teams that will never in a lifetime be good no matter what they do.

Maybe because his parents live in the Karns zone is why he goes there.  Just a thought

wasn’t that game in the 2nd round and Cody watts? was the qb and they also had lee smith? Central would’ve been state champs probably from 03-05 had it not been for the red& black road block.

Central had great teams, playing in the highest class, in 1990-1991also. Lost in the semifinals to the state champ both years.

Karns are coming off a good week of practice im hearing. expect this to be closer than most think

Can Karns stop the Wing-T? While I hate this offense it must be heck preparing to go against the misdirection and when Rhea County is clicking it is hard to stop. And this year, with the added passing game you can't just stack the box. RC by a bunch.      GO EAGLES!

    • 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.
