Tonight (Thursday Jan. 22) at LaVergne, Blackman's Nate Williams will meet LaVergne's Jeff Adcox for the third time this year. Nate is Matman's # 3. Adcox is Matman's # 2. In their first two meetings, Adcox won (1st) in double overtime (had top position), and (2nd) 1 - 0. Williams won the GP Tournament this past weekend, coming from the 5th seeded spot. This match alone may be worth the drive to LaVergne. Wrestling minds, what are the odds on this third match-up of the season?

while in some sports they say it is hard to beat someone multiple times, in wrestling, it's different, even if there close matches. the psycological advantage that one wrestler begins to get over another can be very powerful. i'll take adcox in another close one. delawarr, let us know how it comes out.

I have wrestled them both and had very close matches with both of them. I think that if Williams stays aggressive then he will win because Adcox always wins by stalling the whole match. Williams is a better wrestler, Adcox has just been lucky to beat him the last two times.

Adcox controls and yes Williams is more aggressive. They are so close that it will come down to who wants it most this time.

nununu and wrestler152, you called it. Williams took Adcox 1 - 0. 1st period - no score; 2nd period - Williams maintained control; 3rd period - Williams escaped early in the period. A well-wrestled match.

 

In their three matches this season, two points separate the score between them. Adcox took the first 1 - 0. Adcox took the second with 2nd overtime criterion. Williams took the third 1 - 0.

 

Hamm, take note.

From a report that just came through, Williams and Adcox wrestled to another one-point-difference thriller again last night (Thursday). Williams got a takedown during the first period. Adcox pulled off a reversal during the second period. Williams escaped in the third. The match ended 3 - 2, Williams. This was their fourth match of the season. Adcox took the first two. Williams took the last two. These guys seem to be propelling one another in the direction they both want to go. They very well could meet again in the finals of the Region V Tournament in a couple of weeks (assuming they are seeded in opposite semi brackets).

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
