Celina with a real nice 5pt win over Hampton. Great bounce back after losing to York last week. It was in Celina, but beating a team of Hampton’s caliber is still impressive (as Hampton is one of the best 1A teams in the east and expected to be in Murfreesboro at seasons end). 

How did Hampton look? I know they have been playing well. The east is going to come down to Hampton and North Greene. I definitely could see both squads making it to the glass house. No one else is really that good. The other two contenders could be Harriman and Oneida.

Hampton matched up pretty well with Clay and it was a good back and forth game to watch. They have good size and can shoot the lights out from deep i’m surprised they didn’t utilize more set plays for their shooters with their big guys screening off the ball. They will be a tough out for anyone in single A. I thought they had solid bench players and guard play , but Strong was definitely the difference maker with 46 and 12.  Both teams should make it far and maybe meet again later down the road.

I am guessing that you have not seen Pickett County play yet. My personal opinion is that they are 1 of the top Single A teams in the state. There are not many teams in 2 or 3AA that could play with them this year

He was talking about East TN in general. Hampton definitely has the potential to compete with Pickett Co. , and will have a size advantage on them. I’ve seen both teams play and Pickett still has to worry about getting completely healthy first or they will get beat by plenty of single A teams.

Very doubtful. Pickett Co hasn't lost to any team under 4A. Their three losses were to 4A teams. They have 4 wins over 3A teams. Will Amonett has been out but Heath Wattenberger has been very impressive starting now. Will should be back. They have 4 starters who are great 3 point shooters so if you try to double team one player, someone else will drain a three. They had 12 alone in the first half in one game and mostly subs played the 2nd half and added 4 more...against 3A Cannon Co This may be the best PC team since the 1995 state champions...led by Mr Basketball Joseph Amonett who is now our coach. This team has his 3 sons...two senior starters and a freshman starter. Beat by many single A teams? None yet and it's more like there are few teams in single A that could beat them.

Have you even seen Hampton play to make that statement like TheTruthHurts22 has?  You shooting off at the hip and bragging about losses to 3 teams that have a combined record of 19-19 like they are world beaters just because they are larger schools (All three wont be in the conversations in their classification either).  Lets see how Hampton does against Powell this Monday before you throw out the very doubtful comment

I know this of topic but how good is Livingston Academy? Meigs beat them by 52 points, I know this Meigs team is pretty good this year but I was really surprised by the score 87-35

Hampton is definitely a team I wouldn't want to run into in the first round down in Murfreesboro. They play 94 feet,their long and athletic, shoot the ball extremely well from the perimeter and they're bench is very deep . Very well coached and they know how to adjust well to each opponent. Having said that Hamptons only downfall that might hurt them is their conference is pretty weak outside of North Greene which could end up down in Murfreesboro as well.  More than likely that will be your regional championship game and regardless I don't see Hampton or North Greene losing on the road. There's a big difference between what either of those teams will play their last two or three games compared to the likes of a first round matchup against Peabody,Union City or a Clay County for the second time . But there's no question Hampton is talented enough to win a game or two down in Murfreesboro if not the whole thing.

Looks like Hampton lost to Powell by 22 so the record of that 4a school may be deceiving...Pickett lost by 3.

    • 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.
