Next man up

Nothing too shocking here really. Dayne has been with Wave Wrestling from the start and is focused on wrestling so CBHS is the obvious choice. His older brother Tate was also a Wave Wrestling product but ended up at Bolton for a few reasons, particularly because he wanted to play baseball as well and that would have been tough for him at CBHS.

what do we have now 100+ in their feeder now. Fun years ahead for Papa Bear!!

Nobody from Bradley Pride 😱😱😱😱

If not for having 300 kids on the team HCWC wouldn't score the number of points they always do. Truthfully, TNAAU Region 1 had the most champions and has closed the gap considerably with more champions than the other Regions.

 

Bradley will be just fine though, there's a reason they have 25-26 titles and everyone else is still chasing.

I agree with most but I also know that the reason Bradley has most of them was their kids club hot 200 plus involved for years. Al Morris senior was a catalyst for many of those. Losing him has hurt them and their numbers have begun to decline. I'm not ever sold on any kid being good or bad at a young age until they grow and get into high school you never know. Usually at a young age you're smaller kids are more coordinated. Wrestling is the sport where you can out work a better natural athlete. I remember going to kids tourneys in Georgia and staying late into the night watching the old Bradley kids club and leaving and they still had kids wrestling. Now it seems you have more skill less numbers in certain clubs Higher Calling doesn't have just Cleveland kids in it. Their middle school team is where most of their kids start showing real promise. Ocoee and Lake forest are both not as strong as they had been in the past. I think that's where Bradley will have to catch up. When LFs Belcher stepped down a few years back it started showing. Bradley had several studs these last few years. I don't see how they can over come losing that many good wrestlers this time with what's in the pipe line. Might take a few years before they will be were they have been. In the mean while the rest of the state keeps coming. I like the upper east tn programs and what I've seen from them. To me Middle TN with the population and financial support I see in other sports is a puzzle why they haven't won more team states in wrestling. Is it too many schools cause they are mostly large AAA schools and some A. Individuals seem they do well. Teams not do much. Maybe this is their chance to overtake the east. Who knows.

I love this Hot bed of the SE!! In the Chattanooga area... wrestlers are much more recognized by peers, family, coaches of all sports, teachers, adminstration, community boosters, and media all around including Cleveland and North GA. Heck, there's more in attendance in some single dual matches than basketball games and that's the way it's been for 40 years in this traditionally strong area...

 

That's why I applaud the likes of PF, Alcoa, greenback at one time, Halls, Gibbs, several Blount county area schools, the Hill, DB, Tennessee high, Greenville, Tullahoma, Blackman, Stewart's Creek, Mt Juliet, Cookeville, Wilson Central, Beech, Clarksville, Franklin, Indy, Summit, Greenbriar, page, eagleville, The Bros and of course the Simpsons of Arlington, Ryan and MBA.

 

Keeping your pipeline committed to the area HS may be a part of the challenge for some coaches in Rutherford, Wilson and Williamson Co schools. Not sure about the Clarksville area or toward region eight of late.
