They’re building something special there. They have 4 Varsity games scheduled & 5 JV. They are trying for a 5th Varsity game. Beat them now because they will be good in the future. They are building a football field there I think but the rich pricks of Farragut won’t let them get lights so they are possibly looking at property to build a stadium & field with lights

What teams are on the schedule? Will they be in a private school, Division 2 region?

I can’t believe they’re not playing any division games, especially since they are in Division II-A East. It looks like most of the teams there have already made their schedules, unfortunately. I don’t know if they were just late to the party or if no one really wanted to play them. I’m sure they’re going to find another out-of-state team. I don’t know if it’s possible, but last year their varsity team took on Bearden’s junior varsity team, and it counted as a varsity game for them. I wonder if they would do something like that.

Also, they have a pretty solid team for what it is. They got a lot of additions during the off-season. I mean it’s a young team, but they still have a few seniors.

People are reluctant to play them as Concord, Pickett.Co & Hancock. Co are on attempt 101 to restart football. I wish all 3 the best of luck

They will be able to next year

From what I gather, they are only playing a JV schedule this season and next year a full D-II East class A schedule. I was told that they are investing a lot financially into the football program at Concord.

I’ve heard those rumors too. There has been a lot of money sitting for a while, ready to be used for the athletic department. It’s a very cramped campus with not a lot of space, the majority of space is parking. However, I’m sure they could somehow create a turf football field for the soccer team to play on, and maybe build a baseball and softball field where the old soccer field was. But I don’t know. I’m sure they’ll figure something out if they have to purchase more space.

Farragut does not like them & the nearby residents do not want them playing football at night at Concord so they are looking to purchase land elsewhere for their football stadium

I mean, yeah, I know the residents had an issue with it, but what really can they do? If they do buy land elsewhere, that will be interesting. I wonder how far it will be from the campus. Eventually, they moved the school off the church grounds, which I know the school is expanding every year, so eventually they’re going to have to do something.

    • Yeah, JCM went from missing a field goal in the Quarterfinals to win it against Milan, to dropping 5th is nonsense. JCM will beat Union City, and I expect them to beat Peabody as well. Huntingdon, JCM, and Milan are the 3 playoff teams in that 2A region. Peabody/Union City will be the 4th. Union City won't have the speed to keep with up with JCM. Too much turnover going on at Peabody right now. Let's move to 1A: Hayden Williams has improved offenses each year from a scoring standpoint. In 2021, Bolivar averaged 12.5 points a game on offense, went up to 21.7 points in 2022, and then 33.5 points in 2023. Humboldt only scored 11.8 points per game in 2023, and that's with their big offensive lineman that's at whatever school he is at. In 2024, Humboldt scored 24.5 a game. When you looked at Humboldt's schedule, they only lost to Greenfield by 7, and beat Gleason by 2. With Williams getting a full offseason under his belt, have a better understanding of what his athletes can do. Won't shock me if they're able to score close to 32-35 points a game offense based on Williams' track record. I won't be surprised if Humboldt finishes 2nd in region, obviously they'll have to challenge Lake for that spot. Humboldt does need to solve things with their middle school program and make sure they get that in check. I'm curious to see what will happen because there might be some hope back in southwestern Gibson County. And if Humboldt is good, West Tennessee football is good.
    • Woah!  More TD passes than incomplete passes? Surely they won that game right? No? You lost to a freshman rb surrounded by other freshmen and sophomores so congratulations on that. Not to mention ya'll had your receiver healthy i been hearing about for 3 years. Nice of him to finally show up. Didnt make a difference though.  Guess that's why Bruceton decided not to renew the rivalry. Didn't want 8 in a row. Rough.  Wonder what the excuses will be this year when they're 1-4 and half the team quits...again. 
    • Glad to see Coach Roberts back coaching
    • Im Happy to answer. First, I’m not the least bit concerned with other sports. I’m concerned about the one I know and love. Theres not one ounce of me that cares, even the slightest, about what they do in golf, track, or any of the other individual sports. WE have to make sure THEY are doing right by OUR sport. Now then, a minority of people love the idea of going back to the true state championship? Why? And if you’re good with that, maybe we should go back to carry-format for consolations, eh? Most of the states that do a single state champion do so out of necessity of population. Only California, New Jersey, and Indiana are true wrestling states that could have multiple divisions but don’t. Here’s the list of states with only one state champion that I could find; California, New Jersey, Indiana, Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Rhode Island, and Vermont Aside from California, Jersey, and Indiana, point out which states would need multiple divisions. So we are really only talking about three states who consistently rank much higher than we do as a state. Here’s why one state champion would hurt wrestling in Tennessee - We. Are. Not. Those. States. I know, I know. Everyone here wants us to be. I remember the Cow Palace debate ad nauseam - “Iowa doesn’t have their state state championship in a cow palace, neither should we”. The answer is the same here. We aren’t those guys. Weve gotten much better. No one can say otherwise, but simply put, we NEED as many young men and women as possible to have exposure to and participate in the sport if we are to continue to grow and if you’re telling me that having Sam Everett School of Innovation in the same division as Baylor wouldn’t hurt participation in that sport, you’re wrong. Moreover, if you think it has anything to do with lil Johnny or lil Kelly not having the talent or haven’t worked enough, then you're as small minded as you sound and I pray that’s not the case. It’s opportunity. It’s big picture. Get your eyes off the trees and look at the forrest.  Small schools don’t have the talent pool to draw from that the larger schools have. That’s a fact. They also generally don’t have the exposure to the sport as the larger school, which means it’s harder to get kids out to participate. Period. So if having multiple divisions allows smaller schools the ability to hang something in their gym about having a state qualifier, medalist, or champion inspires another kid or two to come out and give it a try, then explain to me what the harm is. I’ll wait. You want to be in a position to one day be like California, Jersey, or Indiana, then we have to have the multiple divisions now to keep growing at the clip we’ve grown as a state. The more kids that wrestle, the better off we are. If that A kid that squeaks out a medal once or twice flips that into a college experience on any level, then returns home and gives back, Thats growing. That’s good for the sport. That same kid in a division with the wreckers from the top tier A, AA, and D2 schools wouldn’t have that opportunity   Save your “participation trophy” comments. That’s not what’s at play here   People aren’t dumb. While there are ABSOLUTELY single A kids that can compete with and have tremendous success in the AA level, I’d wager most understand the difference. Just the same as AA with D2, lather, rinse, repeat.
