Coaches,

 

The MTSU Alumni Duals will be held on Nov 21-22, 2014 at the NEW Stewarts Creek H.S.

 

15 of the 16 teams that competed last season are returning with the 16th likely to be as well.

 

The tournament is looking to expand to 20 teams to give 7 duals to each team over the 2-day tournament.  The competition will be held on 7 mats in 2 large gymnasiums with a college dual tournament run side-by-side on Saturday Nov 22nd featuring MTSU, Cumberland (NCAA-D2 transitioning team), Arkansas Baptist (NJCAA), Williams Baptist (new NAIA program in Arkansas), Huntingdon College (new NCAA-D3 program in Alabama), and likely Liberty (NCWA-D1 runners-up in 2014), UT-Knoxville, and Memphis.

 

High School teams competing:

 

Bearden

Beech

Centennial

Dickson County

Eagleville

Hardin Valley

Lebanon

Oakland

Ravenwood

Rossview

Smyrna

Stewarts Creek

Summit (likely)

West Creek

White House

Wilson Central

 

preference will be given to teams with a MTSU Alumni connection (i.e. Coach on staff that wrestled at MT or a H.S. with a current wrestler on the MT squad).

 

preference will also be given to teams from Memphis and Chattanooga to be able to split up the pools more even by region.

 

Day 1 will be Pool Rounds based on seeding.  Day 2 will be cross-pools made up of the winners from each pool into a new pool, 2nd place in each pool, etc...

 

Cost is $250 per team payable to the MTSU Wrestling Foundation.

 

If interested in being one of the added 4 teams, e-mail me at coach.knepperATgmail.com

    • Understand the young thing.  I was one of those.  Barely 17 when I graduated from high school and started college.  But redshirting for athletic purposes isn't doing them any favors, in my opinion.  Life isn't always going to be fair.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?
