Actually, looking back, I did pick Clinton in the consolation game. So I did miss one game. Tuesday is going to be so much fun. I'm leaving work at 3:45 so I don't miss a minute. Does anyone have an update on Dixon? I can understand why maybe certain people would not want to speculate, in case the Bearden people are reading this.

I don't know his status but he is a major, major reason Clinton has made it this far. Of course everone hears about Whitt and Dye but I think that Dixon is the glue holding that team together. With the guard play of Dickenson, Sibley, and White, if Clinton does not have Dixon or he isn't 100% healthy then someone from Clinton is going to have to step up and play defense on there guards and score some points.

mocs, I also like the way you can predict with eaz. Even if you do not get the game correct you still have a good reason on why you have predicted them. If Dixon is hurt against Bearden I do not see Clinton winning that game, but if he is healthy (which I think he will be because who miss the oportunity to play in this game) then I don't think that bearden can keep up with the tempo of Clinton. Halls and Maryville should be a well fought battle and hopefully Halls can pull that one out. I think Powell will win with fairly easily even if Snoderly is there and will end up playing Oak Ridge in the second round for a dousy of a game.

 

Powell

Oak Ridge

 

Halls/Maryville-I don't make predictions for my team I think it's a jinxx

Clinton if Dixson is healthy

Lord, given Mocs all this pub, his head is gonna be so big now during the region he will be spitting out predictions every 5 min of the game. lol i will have to hear it all night. B)

 

But my predictions are:

 

1.Clinton. This game will come down to who makes the most shots and who makes less turnovers. Prob the best 1st round game.

 

2.Halls. This one will be close and exciting. It might end up being the best 1st round. Halls has a good game by Borum and Sharpe they will win. Borum's old court.

 

3. OR. this game should be like the Powell/Heritage. OR wins by 15 or more. Farragut is big inside but OR is just too good with domsic.

 

4. Powell. Period. Maybe by 20. could be 30. lol no but seriously they win with ease.

 

A 3-AAA sweep. another district tourney it seems.

 

 

Halls/CLinton- Halls.

 

Powell/OR- Powell. NO bull crap charges at the buzzer this time.

 

Powell/Halls- Powell. Series tied 2-2

Everyone seems to be picking a 3aaa sweep. I'm all for it, but I think Halls gets clipped in the 1st round. That's not a knock on Halls, they're as good as the other 3 teams in 3aaa, but I think Maryville proved that they were the best team in 4aaa in the regular season and just had a bad game in semis. Halls just got a tough draw. I think Sharp, Borum, and May will keep it close, but unless 1 gets really hot, I think Maryville will get it done by a small margin.

    • 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.
