The season is past the halfway point, so here's a look at the 3-AAA standings:

  1. Powell (8-0, 12-5); district games remaining - Gibbs (x2), AC, Karns
  2. Gibbs (7-1, 13-3); Lost to Halls; district games remaining - Powell (x2), OR, Karns
  3. Karns (7-2, 12-8). Lost to Halls twice; district games remaining - AC, Powell, Gibbs
  4. Halls (6-3, 9-6). Lost to Powell twice, split with Central; district games remaining - OR, Clinton (x2)
  5. Anderson Co (4-5, 9-12); district games remaining - Karns, CC, Powell
  6. Oak Ridge (3-4, 8-9); district games remaining - Clinton (x2), Halls, Gibbs, Central
  7. Central (2-7, 4-10); district games remaining - CC (4/12), Clinton, OR
  8. Clinton (1-5, 10-13); district games remaining - Central, OR (x2), Halls (x2)
  9. Campbell Co (0-10, 2-15); district games remaining - Central (4/12), AC (x2)

Pretty competitive district at the top this year. Top 4 should shuffle a bit over the next week or so, especially with Halls owning tie-breakers over Gibbs and Karns. Halls should win out, but Powell, Gibbs, and Karns still have to play one another; the battle for the regular season title is pretty wide open.

Gibbs in the drivers seat at this point, having beaten Powell last night at Gibbs and tonight at Powell.  

 

Powell and Karns each have two losses now, and meet only once for the season - next Thursday on Senior night at Powell.  Whoever wins that game controls its own destiny by having the head to head tie breaker for the #2 spot, and the right to play at home through the semifinals of the district tourney.  1 and 2 host and then the finals is played at the higher seed that is left.

I'll add on to HTV's update:

  1. Gibbs (9-1, 18-4); Lost to Halls; district games remaining - OR, Karns
  2. Powell (8-2, 13-8); swept by Gibbs; district games remaining - AC, Karns
  3. Karns (7-2, 14-8). Lost to Halls twice; district games remaining - AC, Powell, Gibbs
  4. Halls (6-3, 11-9). Lost to Powell twice, split with Central; district games remaining - OR, Clinton (x2)
  5. Oak Ridge (5-4, 11-10); district games remaining - Halls, Gibbs, Central
  6. Anderson Co (5-6, 11-13); district games remaining - Powell
  7. Central (4-7, 6-10); district games remaining - OR
  8. Clinton (1-8, 10-17); district games remaining - Halls (x2)
  9. Campbell Co (0-12, 2-18)

Gibbs is in the driver's seat, after sweeping Powell. Powell, Karns, and Halls all have a shot at the #2 seed, I believe. If Powell or Karns win out, they lock up that coveted #2 seed. I can't remember the tie-breaker order in a 3-way tie, but if Halls wins out, Karns beat Powell but loses to Gibbs, all three would end up at 9-3 in district play. In that scenario, Powell swept Halls but lost to Karns, Karns beat Powell but was swept by Halls. If the first tie-breaker is head-to-head record, I think Powell wins in that scenario; Powell would be 2-1, Halls would be 2-2, and Karns would be 1-2.

 

HTV, correct me if I'm wrong on that tie-breaking procedure.

Here is a look at standings with less than a week to go:

  1. Gibbs (9-2, 19-5); Lost to Halls and Karns; district games remaining - OR
  2. Karns (9-2, 18-8). Lost to Halls twice; district games remaining - Powell
  3. Powell (8-2, 13-9); swept by Gibbs; district games remaining - AC, Karns
  4. Halls (8-3, 14-10). Lost to Powell twice, split with Central; district games remaining - Clinton
  5. Oak Ridge (6-5, 12-11); district games remaining - Gibbs
  6. Anderson Co (6-6, 12-14); district games remaining - Powell
  7. Central (4-8, 7-15)
  8. Clinton (1-10, 10-19); district games remaining - Halls
  9. Campbell Co (0-13, 2-19)

Karns shutout Gibbs last night, which makes things interesting. If Karns beats Powell this week, they will clinch the #1 seed. If Gibbs takes care of Oak Ridge, they can finish no worse than 2nd. If Powell beats Karns and AC this week, they will finish no worse than 2nd. Halls can still clinch 2nd (assuming they take care of Clinton), if Gibbs loses to Oak Ridge and Karns loses to Powell.

After last night's games, here's another update.

 

Gibbs shutout Oak Ridge (14-0), Powell pounded Anderson County (16-3), and Halls shutout Clinton (12-0).

 

If Powell beats Karns tonight, Powell and Gibbs share the regular season crown. Gibbs is the 1-seed (host), Powell is 2nd (host), Halls is 3rd, Karns is 4th.

 

If Karns beats Powell, Karns and Gibbs share the regular season crown. Karns is the 1-seed (host), Gibbs is 2nd (host), Powell is 3rd, Halls is 4th.

Rain has wrecked havoc on the district schedule. Karns was able to get their game in versus Clinton (10-0 win). Halls-OR will take place Sunday @ 7:00. The games at Gibbs will be played on Sunday as well (Powell-AC @ 2:00, Gibbs- Central @ 4:30).

 

Loser's bracket games will follow on Monday.

Karns and Powell are the unbeatens at this point. 

 

Tonight at Gibbs, Gibbs plays Anderson County with the loser eliminated, and the winner taking on Powell in the second game.  Tomorrow if necessary.

 

Tonight at Karns, Oak Ridge plays Halls, with the loser being eliminated and the winner taking on Karns in the second game.  Tomorrow if necessary.

 

The winners of those two pods play one game for the championship on Thursday.  

 

One observation - the pitch limit rules have completely changed how pitchers are being used thus far in the district tourneys.  .

Oak Ridge eliminates Halls and Gibbs takes out AC. In the upper bracket final, Karns defeats OR, punching their ticket in the final (and the region).

 

In the lower bracket, Gibbs defeated Powell, so they'll have to play again today to see who will play Karns in the final.

Whoever wins tonight gets to host Farragut, while the loser goes to Maryville.  

 

Neither is a piece of cake.  Farragut is still Farragut, while Maryville is score a lot of runs.  The Church kid - freshman for Maryville - is the real deal with a bat in his hand.

    • 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.
