Any reason a highly ranked Bradley team would not face a Coffee County team in the early season to see where the two potential state teams are at this point?  I am going to say Coffee County did not want to see Bradley and sticking with tradition decided to play lower classification teams, although York and McMinn are very good.

York beat Warren 49-17. Should be a good game. I’m pretty sure Bradley made the schedule smh

Was that score with both teams at full strength?  My thoughts are York is a good match-up for a team like Warren County.  They would struggle, obviously, with teams like Coffee County, Cleveland, and Bradley.  York is very good and well coached, that Bradley game will be good for a half.

Coffee only wants to play lower teams to pad stats and have a good looking record. Doesn’t help them develop and that’s why they never can or never will win a State Title or compete for one.

I agree with that, the coaching staff is solid but the head coach has a history of doing this yearly.  A few assistants still on staff looking out for their own kids does not help but overall a very solid staff.  Good assessment

The staff teaches those kids more than he knows about basketball. He’s essentially a show dog with his antics and yelling while the assistants save his #### over and over with scouting and adjustments. He’s advantageous on the recruiting trail though. Maybe they should play Webb to see who the best recruiter in the state really is. A head coach that only cares about how the stats look and the record isn’t really there for the kids to develop and move to the next level. Those are some very talented girls no doubt and no shots at them. But imagine if he exposed them to some of the other top talented players in the state instead of scheduling cupcakes.

York is really good, I would probably take them over Cleveland and would say they would give Bradley all they want.

Talking to everyone around the midstate, sounds like what every coach and fan thinks about Coffee County and their staff.  Maybe they will prove everyone wrong this year

    • 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.
