I mention this in another post at the beginning of the season, the conerstone for west was the defensive coach that left the squad. He was truely the best coach on the staff (including Woods). They miss his leadership and he kept Woods in line. I have seen this , I played for him and he has my respect in the things that he has contibuted. They will need time to adjust. We can't expect the same team as last year we graduated way to many, just face the fact that we may not be as good as we were last year..... right now.

Who left the staff? I know that MOWest was well coached defensively.

I'm not sure if it is fact or fiction. Just told that by a friend in M'town.

 

I can't imagine either team wanting to play on Monday with a game the following Friday. If a player isn't ready to play a game like this on Wednesday there is something wrong. Players who wouldn't play on Thursday, they wouldn't be healthy enough to play on Friday so I don't think playing on Thursday would matter. I would assume both teams would want to play a regular season game on Thursday.

 

I think this game is one that you throw out the records. M'town has to be confident regardless of what their record is this year since they are the only team to beat M'ville since the Clinton presidency.

 

A lot of the posts have Maryville winning big but football is a strange game. West is well coached (regardless of what some posters have said) as is Maryville so I think this week's game will show the true colors of each team's coaching staff. Great thing about high school football...each week is a new adventure.

ive heard a couple different possible dates for the game. ive heard, thursday, friday, saturday, or monday. if they choose to paly this game on saturday that would be the worst move in high school football history. who in their right mind would plan a game on the same night as the tennessee vs. florida game. that is ridiculous, that game would probably set attendance lows. but i dont see how it really matters when the game is played whether it be monday, or tomorrow, Maryville is gonna beat the snot out of mo-west, because this is their revenge game. mo-west doesnt have near enough skill to compete with a tough Maryville team this year. im still goin with two tds or more, its definately possible, mo-west isnt very good.

well....tkb25 you need to watch out you sound obsessive I think your taking it a little to far with this whole bradley james thing. He hasnt really done anything this year and seeing how your number is 25 and his is also your probably jus ta friend or something that is giving him credit and what you are really doing is making him look bad b/c when you say all this and he doenst play good it makes him look bad. so would you plz shut up b/c you prob dont even play football. and if you were have decent you would still be playing or coaching. you dont know what goes on in lockerooms and how things are done so until your on the field playing and going through what the coaches and players go through just keep your mouth shut. BUT ok back to what the post was about football... Maryville and West hmm maryville very very very good West = decent west defense looks kind of slow from what ive seen but i think if there offense can get a rhythm going they could hold there own with us. but all in all i say mowest is ready to play coming off a lost to jeff county and maryville is wanting some revenge but maryville comes out on top by 21 or more. but it will be a hard fought game on both sides... this is a great rivalry to watch GO REBELS!!!

I don't usually say much on these boards, mostly I just like to listen to what people say. Just for the record, I am a parent, a fan, I have not missed a game in 6 years and see most of the practices. I hope that qualifies. As far as Coach Woods and his staff is concerned, you will not find better Coaches, on or off the field. He teaches them alot of things they will not learn in the classroom and it may be that some of the teaching staff at West don't like him because he earns the respect of the players and they seem to have a long way to go in that area. As far as playing kids because of money or because he likes the parents or something, thats just stupid and everyone knows it. If you are upset because your kid is not playing, he needs to work harder. If he wants to start, he needs to work even harder! And if he wants to get a hold of the ball, he better want it more than anything else! I've been upset before about my sons not playing as much as I thought they should, but those Coaches know alot more than I do about how they play football. You have to have some trust in thier judgement and believe they know what they are doing. We have alot of talent on this team and they just need a little time. Mo'west vs. Maryville? Never underestimate your opponent.

    • 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.
