This post isn't about any team saying Lakeway is better than anyone. They don't play a weak schedule. They traveled to 3 different states played some ranked teams from that state. The district is weak this year. However the job the coach has done with 2 8th graders 2 sophomores 1 Jr and 8th and 8th grader coming off bench is impressive I think. That is tuff to maintain week end and out being 20 and 3 with the cards they have is great coaching in my opinion.

no sore spot, just calling you out for dismissing teams due to the size of their school.

Like opponents including 3 & 4A schools for Loretto:

Oakland - lost to Cookeville by 9, Page by 11, and Upperman by 4.  Oakland lost to little old Loretto by 37.

Lawrence Co - lost to Page by 9, lost to Loretto by 33 & 38.

Knox Catholic has played a tougher schedule than Lakeway, you have no argument there. But your post insinuating that Loretto & Westmoreland are less than because they're smaller schools is uneducated.  I assure you... Bearden, Farragut, and Bradley would have the fight of their season trying to beat Loretto.  And yes, I know what Bearden did in the Christmas tourney.  They're a great team! But they'd have their hands full with little old Loretto.

Again I never said anything about Loretto or westmoreland.  In fact this is the first time I have put their names in my post.   So learn how to read a post correctly.   I said catholic will play anybody including the toughest 4A teams not just tough 1A teams.  You put those 2 schools in this conversation not me.  Lakeway still lost by 29 to loretto and it was probably worse then that.   I also said 1A-4A doesn’t matter when good is good.

Really, ok CAK.  Facts are facts.   Knox Catholic will play anybody, Top 4A teams not top 1A . 

your comment above was a reply to Tide's comment above.  You quoted him in this reply.  He said Westmoreland & Loretto were better than Knox Catholic, you dismissed that saying Knox plays top 4A teams not top 1A teams.  That, friend, is why I chimed in.  C'mon now, no reason to deflect.  Good Luck to your team!

Tide, sorry for taking over your thread about a good coach!

You did what I would done if someone was down playing a team i following. He knows what he said and playing everyone does not put you in same league as Loretto.

Randy Coffman won 4 straight gold balls at Riverdale with phenomenal talent.  It takes a great coach to manage egos of those players and parents.  Since then he has taken over a start up private school in the middle of no where.  Said private school does not board students.  He is a a great coach and a really good dude.

    • 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.
