Joe Anderson is a huge loss for Maryville. You don’t lose a 4 year starter of his caliber and not feel some sort of repercussions from it. Not saying they won’t still be really good, but that’s a hard one to replace. Brown & Seiler are both really quality players themselves though. Bearden has most kids back from last year, yeah? If so, I would have to call them the favorites, although OR is also looking really strong. We’ve scored 100 2 games in a row, and that’s not easy to do in HS. Granted, the opposition wasn’t really up to par, but still.

Don’t know much about the others, but I do expect Clinton to be pretty tough. They gave OR a run for their money a few times last year. Not sure who they lost off that squad, but Garner may be the best player in the whole region. That kid is something else. I’m just concerned about getting to play out the season. Everything is just so unpredictable right now with the virus.

Losing Joe Anderson and AJ Davis was huge. Joe Anderson is a press breaker and AJ Davis was a great on ball defender. A pest.

Looks like Bearden and Oak Ridge are still the leaders so far this year with no losses in district play.  Can anyone compete with Oak Ridge in district 3?  Clinton, Central, Powell?  Can anyone beat Bearden in district 4? Maryville, West, Farragut?  

I think in 3 Clinton has the best chance. They seem to match up pretty well with us. After them I would say Central, but we’ve beaten them by 20+ both games. The upcoming game @ Clinton should be a good one. I think Maryville can beat Bearden, but we’ll see. Honestly, it’s high school basketball, so all it takes is one bad night of shooting and you can have an upset. That’s basketball in general though.

Who are the picks for district player of the year?  My picks would be Milloway or Miller from OR for District 3 and Pruitt or Bredwood from Bearden for District 4.  Surely the best player on the top two teams would win it.  Both Bearden and OR went undefeated in league play.  Any thoughts?

Also, how are the brackets for the district tournaments shaping up?

Who is Maryvilles best player? Usually it goes to him

Depending on what happens tonight when was the last time the non-Knoxville schools (AC,Campbell,Clinton and OR) were the regional qualifiers from District 3?

Hasn't happened since 2000. Not sure if it has ever happened.

    • 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.
