Meigs just played bad tonight, I was surprised that they lead by 7 at halftime and the second half foul trouble made it even harder. I still think it comes down to Meigs and Sweetwater. Central has put themselves in a uphill battle losing to a not very good Kingston team and the district tournament being at Meigs helps them a lot. 
 

Meigs at Sweetwater next week will tell us a lot.

Meigs played about as well as they could in the first half and only led by 3 after the three pointer at the buzzer. Etowah shot lights out (like they almost always do against us) in the first half. You’re right, foul trouble hit us hard in the second half. Four of five starters had 3 or more fouls early in the fourth quarter. That’s no excuse. I can’t stand losing to them, but kudos chargers.

I absolutely think etowah should be in that group with Sweetwater and Meigs. They have a couple different options, just like Meigs, who can score 15-20 on any night. Like I previously said earlier in this thread, I really want to see us beat Sweetwater and Etowah, especially before tournament time rolls around, just to get over that mental hurdle.

Good to see Mcminn central beat Ten Mile like they did.

@Dadof2 TSSAA posted where the District and Region tournaments will be held next month: Meigs and Marion County and Region will be at Marion County!!

I know this would be highly unlikely for the boys but there’s a chance that the district 3 girls could sweep district 4, would the girls move back to Meigs?

If that happened they probably would have the championship game at Meigs.

Anything can happen but from the way Marion is playing I don't see them getting past the 1st round.

It would have been better for a Chattanooga team to host or even Polk.

 

Most definitely, and weather could be a factor to, everyone having to go over the mountain. And Marion might don’t even be in it boys or girls.

Tonight Tyner played a very tough 4A team in Walker Valley winning by 11. WV actually lead by 4 at the half but the "Rams-D" showed up in 4th and put it away.

It doesn't get any easier as Tyner plays 4A-Howard tomorrow @ Howard. The kids are looking good under adverse conditions and are preparing for a tough District and Region tournament!! Coach Ward is doing an exceptional job with the youngsters!!

    • 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.
