The information on both Travelers' teams is incorrect. Plavich's team is 7-2, reached the finals of the Kentucky Hoopstars Classic in Louisville. That team also won the tournament at Carson-Newman with a 4-0 record, which makes the record posted here incorrect. This team did not lose to the Nashville Stallions, nor did the other team - both teams beat them. Plavich's team beat Spiece in their only game, and the other team lost to Spiece twice, once in overtime. It's unfortunate that someone will get on this board, rank teams without seeing them play, and post incorrect information. If you want to verify a record, tournament finish, etc., call someone who can provide accurate information. If someone is going to post rankings, ratings, etc., on this board, there has to be a commitment to accuracy. I realize much of this is opinion-based, and that's fine, but if someone is speaking with the authority of this board and providing inaccurate information, that certainly damages the credibility of both the person who posts and the board itself. I'm all for expressing opinions, but not providing accurate information while attempting to post rankings, speak with authority, etc., just doesn't fly.

smalltown....

 

I posted only after the Kentucky Hoopstars Classic, and haven't updated teh 15's since, so that is why the records aren't updated...

 

The info I recieved from the Travs 15's are straight from the Tournament results on the official tourney website. If this is incorrect, it is NOT my fault, so lay off...

 

I have not seen the two teams play, nor many 15's (16's and 17's: I have seen EVERYONE play), but I got three opinions since the rankings from those at the Travs tourney, so I have recieved info about the 15's, and this is not a very strong group(s) in their opinion...

 

BUT.............................

PLEASE give me any info you can on these 15's or any others, so my 15's rankings can be as accurate as my 16's and 17's....... I NEED YOUR HELP on 15's, so please POST!!!

Fair enough - the information on the Kentucky tournament was probably wrong. They must have gotten the teams mixed up, reported a score for one team that acutally applied to the other, etc. I didn't check the date - didn't realize you posted prior to the C-N tournament. I know Plavich's team beat everyone easily there except the St. Louis Eagles, who they beat in a close game. The other team was 2-2.

 

I can't really help you with 15's because I've not seen very many of them play. I know the Travelers have two teams, but they did not create a #1 and #2 team. Plavich's team has a lot of guys that played together last year on a team out of Georgia that was pretty good - they acutally split (last year) with the Murfreesboro team that has Brandon Wright. A lot of those guys are from the Chattanooga/North Georgia area.

YAB should be way before Mottep and maybe even in the top 5 yeah they did lose in there sub-state even they got cheated but we are not about to get in to that but you will still be seeing them in Nationals after they came in 2nd in the Super Regional Showcase or something like that but you will not see them in state but they will be there but after making a few changes to the team the Tigers have added some Tigers to the pack. :P

 

P.S. And they should be in the Top 3 if Mottep is in there come on now YAB is the squad 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.
