Help me out here. You say these are the best kids from across the state. Was there an all call out to wrestlers to put their name in the hat to be drawn out or challenge for a spot on these two teams? I’m not trying to be a smart azz about it but I don’t remember seeing it. There was only one girls match and it seems we missed a couple weights in the boys match.

It’s all good. Hoping the best for him at that level. He’s a great kid.

Logan went to Georgia to get mat time. Unless Logan is sick or hurt he will be at the super32 and he will be at 170. I will add he didn’t surrender a single point while going undefeated. He spent a total of 20 seconds in the bottom position the entire day.

Great job guys!

Can you send pictures?

Thanks for doing it Biff.

Do you know for sure that is the reason people backed out? Just sayin.

I spoke to an assistant Principal from Creek Wood high school yesterday. He mentioned an opening for a head coach for their wrestling program. They have a couple middle school feeders. They also have a nice wrestling building. Good luck to coach Murphy on his future endeavors.

Young Rocky is a prolific bass fisherman. Won a few titles while in high school. Could be a motivator.

How is the bass fishing around Chattanooga?

Where did you get your information?

Thanks

Asking for a friend, is being a faculty member on staff a requirement?

Michigan has been doing this for some time now.

I do not know.

To clarify, There were 2 instances where I remember this being the case. Nothing like 50%. It was more a matter of a kid wrestling a weight the majority of the season and then dropping for post season.

The state duals was Feb. 5. The dream team meeting was the following day Feb. 6. The process goes like this. Coaches put their wrestlers name on the dry erase board at the weight class their kid wrestled during the season. If their kid had dropped he has to be put at the weight he wrestled the majority of the season. Each coach has a chance to speak on behalf of their wrestler. A vote is then taken. If there is more than 2 wrestlers a process of elimination takes place based on the vote totals, often times resulting in a second or third vote. Some times there is a tie. It has nothing to do with popularity and sometimes the person making the dream team places lower at the state tournament than someone who lost the vote. It was explained to me the idea was to put together a team based on regular season and not post season. Any head to head after the meeting is irrelevant.

If you have the time to do that I would be interested to see those numbers.

I know that wasn’t directed at me but I’m going to respond just the same. D1A had 2 undefeated wrestlers squaring off at 160 in the finals. Over 100 seasonal wins between them. One wins the match 14-0 over the other. In fact nobody scored a single point on him the entire tournament. I would call that dominant. Yes I voted for my wrestler. That being said, hats off to Mr. Cannedy for a great career and the Greenville program for such a dominant performance overall.

Coaches vote. There was zero criteria offered.

Cannedy won it in A

Castleberry concussion at practice. Sad for him as he is a senior

Try Frank Simpson

Josh Peck did a great job getting that program started as well as their youth program. They have a lot of young kids.
