LOL - Man of Millions trained me in Coach T - I have to honor him every once in a while by being sarcastic. Sometimes I feel like Haywood County gets overlooked a little bit. I know the East has dominated in the past and Elizabethton and Greeneville are proven title winners, so I surely get it. The East needs to earn respect. Coach Smith is still young, but has amassed a 66-22 overall record and is 57-8 last five years, so he is doing something right. 

Grasshopper, slow and steady wins the race!

I'm from east Tennessee  and I still wanna watch this game!  If I can find it streaming I'll drop in and watch some of it. But I think haywood will end up getting the Dubya. But I want Tullahoma to have their first state championship game. Good luck to both teams!

Good luck with that. The T$$AA teamed up with a streaming service and gave them exclusive rights to it. If you want to watch a bad product, with no commentary, that you have to pay for, go for it!

Here is where you can hear the audio call from me and Ken Keller. Youtube.com/tualighttube.

I've broadcast Tullahoma football for 30 years and this is the strongest team we've ever had. This matchup with Haywood seems to be pretty even on paper.

Don't discount the experience Haywood earned last year by winning their semifinal game. Tullahoma is playing its first semifinal game since 1987 but has been to the quarterfinals in three of the past four years.

The Air Force base does not directly contribute to the facilities or program at Tullahoma. The city financed the building of the new stadium (it was not a remodel), and the quarterback club bought the jumbotron, etc.

Come on Haywood fans, make the drive and let's join together to give these young men a tremendous atmosphere Friday night.

I’m a neighbor of Haywood, and will not travel since my Covington lost last week to Dyersburg. However, I plan to catch this 4A game on FM 95.3 out of Brownsville.

Go Tomcats.

Tullahoma has to share the talent pool with a 6A team at Coffee County central. We are the second largest school in 4A. We tried to play up to 5A for this 3 year classification period but we’re denied. I think we will have 5 A enrollment numbers by 2023. 

Wrong!  Tullahoma chose to go down into 4A classification.  Get it right.  The rest of our sports dropped too.

And the sorry superintendent screwed up the build.  We could have had what giles county has for cheaper but we let an ego manic run the job who has no idea what was going on.  No restrooms up or anything.  Trailer on the bleachers.  He left us with exactly what he was Con Man.   Giles Stadium with a great press box, restrooms, private rooms amazing and cheaper.  Same company did both one was a design bulid for giles.  Tullahoma got a design trailer park by Lawson

Wrong.... The enrollment numbers for 5A classification started at 1115 students. Tullahoma only had 1090 as of the count date.  We are the second largest school in 4A this season.  https://cms-files.tssaa.org/documents/tssaa/2020-21/2021classification.html#di-football

    • 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.
