I can't answer for the 182 final but I know the heavyweight from Fort Campbell won his semifinals match 4-3 but as soon as the match ended he was in excruciating pain. He tore his ACL last season, so maybe it had something to do with that? So therefore he didn't compete in the finals. The wrestler at 182 was suited up, walked out there and shook the Union kids hand then they raised the union kids hand. Not sure what the deal was.

HWT for Ft Campbell was indeed hurt, FF finals match for precautionary reasons. I know some people in KY and they say he's been battling injuries this season. Just came back not too long ago.

 

Would've loved to have been there yesterday, seems like it was a two horse race between Bradley and Union. Love the videos on Track. That Escalara kid from Union is only an 8th grader! Crazy.

We're lucky we even had this tournament. Last minute scramble to rebracket with 20 trans not showing up. Cbg you should have jumped in there and made sure the brackets were done correctly as seeded, and avoid mishaps like this

The last thing the people running the tournament needed was to receive any assistance from me.  Mark Durham from Indianapolis, IN & Pat Simpson did a great job running the tournament on Trackwrestling.  It's difficult at best when you have 50% of the teams back out due to inclement weather on the day the event was scheduled to take place. The team race would have been interesting if all 38 teams had participated as scheduled.  When you have several #1 seeded wrestlers unable to participate it changes everything and makes it an entirely different team race.  The final team results may have remained the same and the winning margin may have even been greater but those strong wrestlers unable to compete would certainly had some type of impact on the final results.

182 would have been a rematch with the 3x state champ, Full-ride D1 college bound & undefeated Union kid having a rematch with the Clarksville kid he beat earlier in the day, only to get a FF.

    • 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.
