I believe they held the regionals that year at HV. Yes our next district game is against you all on Jan 11. Looking forward to it hopefully we both have success between now and then. 

Very much success to your team also. (Between now and then). South Greene will be among the other Greene County teams and Greeneville in the Ladies Classic here in Greeneville. Check out the schedule and see if you can set aside some time to attend. Upperman will be playing here, so it's a good time to visit and see what you may have only been reading about on Coach T. Lots of other good teams from Tennessee and Kentucky.

I hope so too. Hate to see any kid miss a few games because of injuries. She's the most complete player in the conference no doubt about it

A good recap of last night's game. You might want to bookmark this site, as it covers teams in my locale that are in the conference.

Mention is made of Addison's injury in the article. I also have it on good authority she broke her right arm. 

Thank you for recognizing Addison. She has a heart for playing that is as big as your house. IMO, she definitely was in the running for All-State.

We did our usual.  Up 1 at the half followed by a bad 3rd quarter for us. Same thing happened against Unaka. SG will be tough with Williams back. 

There is no guarantee that Addison Williams will play again for South Greene. She has played on two bad ankles since early in the season and now has a broken arm. 

If she does not play another game for South Greene, she will still remain one of my favorite Lady Rebels of all time.

She was helping out bringing water to the rest of her team, during timeouts. She has been a great teammate for four years.

The game was a tough one and Happy Valley played well. The main difference in halves, was not so much how Happy Valley was playing, as it was South Greene hitting their threes in the second half.

Good luck the rest of the way.

Nice win tonight over West Greene at home 56-34. We shook the 3rd quarter monster off our back tonight after being down 22-20 at halftime.  

Warrior,  I think you have a pretty good team.  The record is deceiving when you have to play murderers row.  4 of the district 1-1A  teams are among the best in the state.

You're right KING we ain't a bad little bunch. Nothing  special but we aren't a push over either. District 1 1A is stupid good this year.  Glad we are in 2A lol

    • 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.
