Peabody vs McKenzie (West Semi Finals)

Recommended Posts

I'm a milan guy and I called this game after the 1st games of the year when mckenzie beat the stangs and peabody beat the Dawgs. Told my brother,  these 2 will meet in the semis as undefeated.  Peabody let me down with the loss to the stangs. Rebs like to have let me down with the Close one against Fayetteville.  This will be a great game that I wanna see. I'll be there as a football fan only . Think it will be decided by who misses an extra point or who decides to go for 2. Definitely gonna be a west tennessee history making game and yes I hope the officials let them play and don't get flag happy. Good luck to both teams.

Mckenzie is a really good football team. They have some ball players. I’ve been saying for years that this Mckenzie JR class would win a state Championship before they graduate. In one sport or another. My concern for them is having to play in a district that is down. I’ve seen it happen with Huntingdon. Players only have to play half a game for over half the season. That never makes you better. It can bite you in 4 quarter game. 

Peabody is a really good football team. Big and talented. They handed Westview their only loss this year.(Westview is the best football team in 2a.) Huntingdon played the most complete and best game they have played in years to beat this team. 
 

Everyone knew this was coming from the beginning. It should have as much electricity as Huntingdon/LC game a few years back.

I agree I think this will be a great game. I have seen Trenton play multiple times and they are definitely a championship caliber team again this year. From what I’ve seen and read online McKenzie seems to be as well. Both teams have big time players. Good luck to both teams as well.

You can post them rebtard. Do I need to spell it out for you too ?  I don’t have access to stats. Do coaches or players study stats to make a game plan or come to conclusion if a team in good ?  No they watch video 

Do they watch film? Yes. But they also look at stats to give them a measuring stick to see how good teams are at specific situations. No, the high school teams don’t have the advance stats, but they can’t ignore the numbers analytics…

I’ve seen both teams. I’ve seen Peabody twice and McKenzie once. My only concern for Peabody is I don’t know how good that team is. I don’t know if they actually gotten better from August til now. I think @pioneer42 alluded that Peabody didn’t play partially just well Friday night at home to a team that has chemistry issues. McKenzie is a good football team that takes advantages of what is given. I like Cassidy’s whip and decision making. I think he does a very good job of playing boring football. 
Peabody’s coaching staff is better, but I’m sure Comer will throw up some wrinkles to keep Peabody honest. Regarding to the schedule, throw that out of the window because everybody in August knew these two teams will meet up…

This game will come down to discipline on defense.  Both teams have big play capabilities and a lot of times those big plays are result of missed assignments.  Keeping their eyes where they need to be and not get caught breaking their responsibilities.  

Going to be a long week until this one.  


On a side note, I ask for travel prayers as I am leaving Tuesday for Arkansas for Thanksgiving.  We will return Friday.

    • 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.
