The problem with the Tennessee rule is that you must compete out of state to qualify for the big events .In other words, Tennessee offers no qualifying events for high school or jr. high kids. Not only that but if you wrestle varsity (even if there is no match that week) you may not compete for a non tssaa event. Jr. varsity can do whatever but if they wrestle aau or usa or whatever, They are ineligible for the next scheduled varsity match. It would take 2 events A) Qualifier Invitational to become eligible and get the invite. I have always said TN has to loosen it up with travel restrictions.

allowed to wrestle as long as its not closed for hazardous road conditions.

I love Trevor and his family but at 5-1 I have 20 dollars.......lol

insider trading lol

Weight/weigh-in sheet given at weigh-ins is the final adjustment for the coach. Whatever you put a kid down to wrestle before weigh-ins is what they wrestle. If you have an injury you may substitute a young man. If any wrestler is substituted for at any time the starting wrestler is ineligible the remainder of the day.So if I give you 120 john at weigh ins. 120 john gets hurt. I can forfeit and give up 6 or I can replace john with a wrestler not on my official starters list. Weigh in sheets must be turned in prior to weighing in. Not during. If a wrestler misses weight he is done just like at the state. He may not wrestle up a weight class. If a coach says he wrote it down wrong.......sorry shoulda double checked it. Wrestler misses weight sorry bro you let your team down, but made the 2nd string guy happy. If at a dual tournament and you forfeit any match that match must remain a forfeit all day. This encourages wrestling not a dag nabbit chess match. The coaching is done at practice and talking kids through moves during a match. Not on the score sheet. So sick of bump ups, forfeits, and in general not wrestling the good matches. Line them up and wrestle. The coaching will show and the wrestlers can get their head right for that big match. The way it is now encourages forfeits and bumping.............And that really sucks when everyone is seeing that big match up and it doesn't happen.

Had a big post written about respect.....but my kids wrestling speaks for itself whether good or bad.138 is where wilkins is now anyway and wrestles up when needed to. please be respectful towards the kids.

both scales heavier than what my son used to pre weigh at home. 1.5 lb difference between the two scales. check scale was there but still heavy. hsdad I don't think ive ever seen you say anything nice to anyone.

I was watching another match when they shut it all down. My wife said that she thinks it was Kenwood facing Clarksville. I know it was Clarksville he was severely distraught, he was doing a legal move but felt responsible. Prayers with the guy and his family.

tenth of a lb. My son said he almost cryed for him, they have wrestled together since they were young and are pretty good friends. Need to change that rule to allow a 10 minute grace period for the regionals only( just because it affects another tournament) "The State"

Just feel bad that someone got really hurt, from what i was told isit was a punctured lung?

Don't know. We went for the first time last year, It was a tough tournament and well run. Maybe a big camp or a big tournament somewhere. Even the Iowa team trip didn't have the teams from Pennsylvania and Ohio. Don't get me wrong, It was still tough. Maybe people are saving for summer camps or....... who knows just guessing. Just a bummer to see the low numbers at theses well run tournaments.

Western do you know why the sophomores are beating sophomores and freshman in the state finals ? I believe it's because they knocked all the juniors or seniors out in the quarters and the semi's. The young aau wrestlers are finally reaching our high school levels and standing out. If you were there and actually saw the wrestling that went on in Iowa, you would realize what a great accomplishment this was. I would put 1 or two placing in the super 32 out of each weight class. This wasn't your everyday ragtag tournament. There was actually some real talent there. Quit Trolling!!!!!

What I thought was great was that , we drive all the way to Iowa, compete against all those teams, The only loss for Zack was against Brock from team TN. Brock is awesome. What about Landers pulling it out against Fuller. I believe a couple of the 7-1 kids only lost to TN kids. I could be wrong on that so don't kill me if I am. Great hard wrestling this weekend from all. Iowa, Tennessee, Montana, a step above the others. Maybe some respect coming soon for our kids. Heard one mom from another state talking loudly about us backwoods rock carrying people from TN. She needs to visit TN then go back to Iowa and figure out who is really backwoods two tooth having Iowa !!$$#%$%!!!!!!!!!!

There are usually a ton of TN wrestlers that attend this event. It would be hard to get all of them to list here. My son is out of the age range now. There is usually very good talent there, though. Most of your top talent from the aau Tn clubs usually go. I have seen in the past kids from OH, FL, KY, AL, IL, PA, AR, GA, IN, MI, NC, SC, and I am probably missing a few. Like I said it's been a couple of years since we went. I only remember 1 year to where the number of kids there wasn't what I expected. The tournament can run into the late hours. Other than that, it was great. The arena was great, parents upstairs, wrestlers and coaches downstairs. We always told our kid win or lose keep your head up, If you lose any then we are going to Gatlinburg, to ride go-carts. If you place you can pick dinner tonight. Turn it into a mini vacation for him/her. They will want to return over and over and over. In short ( normally well run, good talent pool, good venue and fun tournament ) I think we went 5-6 times. They try to separate the states the best they can. Good luck and have fun, I believe you and the family will. Don't eat at that goldan corral up there it is horrible.

We want to know before we enter. If there are enough entrants why not go for the team titles in Ohio. Great one day takedown tournament.
