Wouldn’t want to play Summertown or Loretto at end of season - neither will has seasonal standout records like last many years  but both got lots of talent and pedigree - no gold balls for summer camp and either could get hot at right time 

Hope all Coach t fam have safe and fun 4th and especially all ballers ( I know how it feels when one gets hurt )

I would put Elizabethton 2 and I would have Gibson County in the top 5 somewhere and Loretto in the top 7. Gibson County’s varsity went 6-1 at MTSU and has had a very strong summer camp. Got some improving to do but they are ahead of schedule now. They had the best MTSU camp I have seen since I have been going. Greenville I have heard good things about and could be a top 5 and Huntingdon has played well this summer. Lots of really good teams in Tennessee this year. Also what Page?? And Huntland will give fits to teams in Single A this year.

What's up Pioneer42!  Any updates on Dyersburg?

Doing well and hope you are the same. I seen Dyersburg earlier and they have some talent some younger and they will be much better than last year for sure. I do think they have to get better chemistry among their team and I think they will. My take is they will lose some games early and will be better late once they have had a bunch of game reps and getting accustomed to each other better and developing better chemistry. Strayhorn is a gym rat and they will be in the gym a lot for sure. I wish them well. Strayhorn is a good guy and has always treated us well.

Fillies played Dyersburg @ UTM camp. Very competitive game. #24 from Dyersburg took over late in the game. Very athletic young lady. Little raw but super quick with a nice 3pt touch.

Yeah she put up 23 as a Freshman against us last year. Covington is another team in their Region that will be better by year end. Very athletic.

So who's your top 5 west tn teams?

Gibson County, McKenzie, South Side, Westview, South Gibson and Huntingdon are six good one’s and they are not ranked the way they are listed. TCA, USJ and Dyersburg will be good as well. Crockett and Dyer County I haven’t seen, but I do think Crockett will be pretty good. Covington is very athletic and will be tough by year end. The Greenfield District I will give the nod to Dresden. Do think Greenfield and Gleason have younger players and will need some reps.

Does Dyersburg have enough to compete with Crockett County in that district? Crockett should be good. If Dyersburg can’t play with them, Crockett will walk through that district. Dyer Co looked down this summer.

Dyersburg will have some talent. They had two good ball players setting out last year. I think that one was a transfer and another that was hurt I believe and they have a couple of younger players that will help I believe. We hadn’t played them yet, but word was around West TN was they will be much better than last year’s team. When the sophomore they have is on her A game, she is very hard to stop. She put up 23 or so as a Freshman against us last year. I expect them to be tough.

    • 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.
