Not football related, but the best news I've heard in a long time..... Former Rebel, 2009 MHS graduate and current missionary to South Africa has been rescued from his captors Josh Sullivan: US pastor rescued by South African police after gun battle with kidnappers | CNN Psalm 34:17....."The righteous cry out and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all of their troubles".....

So it’s everyone’s fault except for Cleveland’s? I’ve heard Cleveland fans blame the TSSAA, the girl’s parents, haters, etc…I’ve also seen Cleveland’s fans say everyone else does it as well. Is any of this the coach’s fault? Seems like a lack of judgement to wrestle someone who showed up two days before the state duals.

and no doubt she will benefit from that...but 91.3% of them say they gonna spend more time sumwhere on the way out the door Booger just sayin

Hunter Mason to Chattanooga

Greeneville or Elizabethton?

I have spent many years going to Fargo, most all of the elite kids go, unless they are on a World Team, injured or only focus on Folkstyle. I have been to all the major tournaments Fargo is one of the toughest, and very highly regarded by college coaches.

AC will get smoked by Alcoa

Let’s be completely honest and say that Oakland is an “open zoned school” in the middle of Rutherford County, which is one of the fastest growing counties in the USA. Yes, they have some good coaches but when a school has that much talent available to them it does not matter what offense they run. Ask yourself, if the Oakland coaching staff took over the Cocke County program would they win a state championship and have as many athletes going to NCAA D1 programs?

What does he do, Barney? Specifics, please.

Why is Green Hill open when the coach had only been at the school for one season?

blueraider fans flippin that love into hate quicker than one of those democrats turnin on one of them world savin battery cars Booger just sayin

What a joke. Cleveland bent backwards for this guy.

Allow me to begin by saying that the TSSAA is a complete joke! With that being said, I will say that they have two (2) major issues that must be addressed. Those individuals that are full time employees of the TSSAA are nothing more than educators/government employees that have absolutely zero business experience and are being ask to operate/manage a multi million dollar business with absolutely no experience. Quite frankly they would be fortunate if they could turn a profit at the local church bake sale. Honestly, they should have never been put into the positions that they currently occupy and should be terminated immediately. The second major issue is with the Board of Control which makes most of the real decisions. The individuals that serve on this board are nothing more than gang leaders that are protecting their local communities/turf and have in no way ever shown that to want to do what’s right for high school athletics in The State of Tennessee. Now that I have told you that the TSSAA doesn’t have a clue as to what they were doing, I must say that it appears as if they didn’t do anything extraordinary but merely enforced a rule that was already on the books. Yes, Cleveland can file a law suit against the TSSAA but who is going to pay for these legal proceedings? You must remember that Cleveland High School is a government entity and the TSSAA is a government agency. Would it be that two government departments would be suing each other at the tax payers expense? That would be the same type of foolish behavior that has been going on the Washington DC for the past forty years that is finally being exposed to the general public. The sad thing is that it appears as if the majority of people are perfectly happy with the chaos that surrounds the TSSAA.

My favorite Cleveland wrestling story is Cleveland is better than everyone because they work harder than everyone else and they still would have been just as great without Alan Jones pouring money into the program. They were winning state championships way before Alan, right? LOL! Claiming Cody Chittum to be their own is also a good one. Shane Turner never had anything to do with Cody’s development. Cody has only been successful because he wrestled a little for Cleveland who works harder than everyone. #MadeInCleveland

The girls team had their state dual championship stripped.

+1000 Central Middle School won their championship this season. No Banquet. Don't see any on here crying about it.

You’re the one crying about what happened at Ocoee? If it was that big of a tragedy do it yourselves.

I enjoy watching well coached teams beat a bunch of bigger faster athletes because their coach knows how the game should be played. What I don't particularly care for are small minded, big mouthed, aggressive people who think that their opinion is the only one that matters, and if they say it loud or often enough everyone else will believe it too, yet I DO get a kick out of pointing out the fact that often those who do most of the belittling are the ones who know the least about the topic of conversation.

Read on some other posts that Iowa St guys are leaving due to how practices were being ran. The guys felt like their knees were being jeopardized and injuries were occurring in the room? Don’t know how true that is… And as far as Chittum goes yeah he committed to Minnesota prior to doing so well at Fargo. Once he earned his stop sign that was when Tom and Terry came calling. He would’ve stayed at Iowa but the Ferrari’s were supposedly coming and Cody didnt want to be a part of that circus. To me, I never felt like Cody fit in with Iowa St? I have a feeling he will be suiting up for Coach David Taylor.

Didn't Stephen Buchanan just become the first kid that AA'd for three different schools? College athletics is just different now. AND Cody has only been to ONE college, Iowa State. Committing is not the same as attending school. He has every right to look out for himself and his future. Wish him the absolute best. Some of you guys are nuts.

Man I would like to see Hunter Mason at App St next year. Odds are he would start at 141. If Little makes 133. App St 1st 3 weight classes would probably be TN kids

Yeah ok, keep getting on here embarrassing yourself

Dude everyone seen what? I rarely post on here. Find one post on here of me disrespecting any program. You on the other hand are a clown and everyone on here can vouch to that. You are the reason the cleveland fanbase gets the perception that it gets. You are hilarious everyone has seen what? You got me confused with someone else

If I were a Cleveland person I would totally question letting these girls get on the team that late in the season. The only strategy that makes sense to me is if letting them on the team would keep them on the team the following year (I am not sure if one of the girls was a senior this year or not). Those are smart coaches in Cleveland, if they were trying to cheat, this seems like a really bad way to get away with it. I doubt they were trying to cheat, something did not turn out the way it was presented to the TSSAA when they asked for a ruling on wrestling those two transfers. I trust the AD at Cleveland, he is no dummy and not a "cheater".

Could it be that they were declared eligible and this wouldn’t be an issue until they moved back and were competing back with the team they left? maybe with the information they had, it seemed on the up and up but the circumstances changed.

From what I can see this is the results: Freshman: Dewontae McMillion 1st @ 285 Tristan Collier 3rd @132 Sophomore: I don't think there were any All Americans. We had Sophomore wrestlers there, but it is not showing anyone for TN. Not sure why. Junior: JoJo Uhorchuck 1st @ 120 Tanner Tran 2nd @ 106 Samuel Comes 5th @ 120 Braylan Cosper 7th @138 Senior: Ethan Uhorchuck 1st @ 132 Jay Eversole 5th @ 182 Jonathan Davis 5th @ 285 Mason Butler 8th @ 182 Congrats to the Uhrochuck brothers. Very impressive and very cool to have two champs like that. Congrats to all the All Americans for attending a tournament like this and getting it done. It was full of hundreds of great wrestlers from across the country.

So let me get this straight, it’s the TSSAA’s fault that they approved two wrestlers based on the addresses the Cleveland provided and the girls did not actually live there? The TSSAA is far from perfect but this one falls on Cleveland. Their AD must not take his or her job very seriously. For Bosken to be such a great coach, why would he have risked wrestling them if they didn’t even need them to win? Cleveland wrestling has done great but if this whole mess tells you anything it is that the coaches and AD over there are far from the sharpest tools in the shed. I bet they get hit with a postseason ban for at least a year, maybe two just speculating based on similar rulings brought down by the TSSAA (Lipscomb Academy football).

So this is posed as a question, correct? Answer is NO! Guilty of relying on TSSAA to competently perform their assigned duties of rendering official opinion regarding eligibility of transfers, YES. Cleveland’s coach and Athletic Director sought and received an eligibility clearance before state duals, on which they relied before wrestling what were later deemed ineligible participants. Trusting TSSAA to competently perform their duties does NOT make Cleveland cheaters. The girls that outperformed Clarksville on the mat were the ones cheated out of what they rightfully earned.

Prayers, positive vibes and many prayers for you and your family, RebelWoman87. We are here for support

Read the legal proceedings of the Brentwood Academy vs TSSAA legal case when it was determined that the TSSAA was a state entity/arm of the State of Tennessee. While I don’t have all of the facts at my fingertips it seems as if this was determined due to the TSSAA employees receiving their health insurance and retirement pension from the State of Tennessee..

Lost 47-15…but congratulations!

We both know that there are no words that will ease your pain, but you know that God can and will make this bearable for you and yours. May the hurt go away, and the memories remain vivid until you meet again.

Yes, lower myself. I have learned that it's not possible to change someone's mind who doesn't have one. I've read all your posts on the topic stating that controlling tempo (I won't say stalling) is cowardly and brainless. If that's your opinion you're welcome to it, but when you attempt to insult me as well as others who have a different opinion, I'll point out where you're wrong and won't attempt to spare your ego. Nice try with the innocent act by making me out to be the "only 1 name calling" after the watching paint dry, cowardly, brainless, lazy and other derogatory comments directed toward anyone and everyone who doesn't agree with you. Now I'm done wasting my time with you...fire back if you like, but I'm not reading any more of your nonsense.

I wish that TSSAA would include the pertinent information that THEY were the ones that rendered a ruling that the Oklahoma girls were eligible, but they are not going to own up to their mistake, instead they chose to try and shift the blame to the school, who asked for a ruling BEFORE State Duals and received clearance that they were eligible. If TSSAA had said, no they were not eligible, they would not have been allowed to wrestle.

Buddy those kids having been taking visits all over Knoxville. They gone.

I would also say that Brenot is our closest thing to an AA seeing that he was in the blood round this year.

Words seldom prove anything to an idiot. Pardon me for not choosing to lower myself to your level in an attempt to explain something that you should already know.

TSSAA's excuse will be that only athletics fall under their umbrella of control. Never mind that prior to the beginning of the tournament, the Department of Education that Cheat Perp is controlled by "outed" the fact that assigned grades weren't (couldn't possibly be) posted correctly, because most of the teachers lacked the certification to teach the course. That rule is pretty straightforward and simple...no grades=no play. Players with no grades playing in a specific game=forfeiture of that game. A similar incident happened in Memphis...clerks quit, some administrators fired, some quit before they could be prosecuted, and I think one may have even went to jail. Basically, nothing was done by TSSAA though, the kids and coach moved on like nothing happened. Now that it's out there and Cheat Perp says "we've got this fixed", it's as likely as not that TSSAA will not even acknowledge that it happened. If that's the case, someone should file suit and turn it over to an authority that will at least try to resolve something that should never have happened. Not saying that any team should be awarded the gold ball, but the team that shouldn't have been playing needs to pay the penance.

That might be the most racist #### #### i’ve ever seen on this website @CoachT don’t believe this is allowed on your website?

Also hearing that Hunter Mason is wanting to go to Appy? I’d love to see it. Terrell, Little, and Mason right there in the lineup.

By the time they hire a coach. Most of the kids will be at Alcoa, Catholic and Fulton

Alcoa loses 4 Seniors (1 being a starter in Ayl and the other first off the bench in Graf). They return almost all their scoring so definitely will be in the hunt

No words....This one hurts too much................

Put some respect on Brenots name. He made it further than anyone from Tennessee. U have a kid that wrestles and see the work it takes to get there. And that’s coming from a cleveland alum. Chill out

Tommy Clemmer is still available!!!!!

Miss Basketball for Fields. God Bless and Go Bears (Bearettes)!

Bradley was by far the best team in the state. 4-a teams records against 2025 State Tournament teams. Bradley - 5-0 Coffee - 6-1 Bearden - 3-3 Bartlett - 3-3 Cookeville - 3-4 Lincoln Co - 2-7 Oak Ridge - 1-2 Whitehaven - 0-4 If Bradley gets any help at all with Fields they will be fine.

We have had 2 daughters play for BC and Coach Reuter. Gold Ball, State Champs ring and a wall full of individual awards for both. They had great teammates and got a great education at BC. We are thankful. But, If asked, our family would reflect most on the fact that last summer (7 years after she played for Coach), he and his family drove 3 hours each way to attend her wedding……! Nothing to do with basketball.. Coach Reuter stayed and was one of the last to leave the reception. He attended our girls College games and stays in contact with both of them to this day (2017 and 2019 grads). As for how he treats his players, I speak from experience, not from second hand speculation. Our family is eternally grateful that he coached them hard, pushed them to be the best, did not accept anything but their best effort everyday and gave them valuable training for life.
