  1. Tennessee as a wrestling state IS growing. Regardless of what the trolls on here would have one believe. And while you're correct, high school success doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme, I think what you fail to mention is IN STATE high school success doesn't exactly measure long term division 1 success. I don't remember the last time TN had 7 or 8 kids ranked in the country. I don't remember the last time we had MULTIPLE medalists at Powerade, Beast of the East, Brecksville etc and the other tournaments that have tradiationally been reserved for the St Paris Grahams, Blair, Clovis, Wyoming Sem, St Eds, level teams. The fact that our kids are starting to medal at these semi regularly now I think is a great indicator of where we are headed as a state and a good measuring stick as to what this current group of kids are capable of doing at the highest levels. I think to tell these kids who not only have dreams of going D1 but have already signed commitment letters (Fowler, Desselle, Hilton, Hart, Little etc) that "Sorry, despite this universtiy telling you they want you on their team and they value what you can bring to the program, you're better served going D2 or D3 or NAIA". Isn't just doing them a disservice its doing Tennessee Wrestling a disservice as well. We should be promoting these kids getting out to major programs. Not discouraging it.

  2. Central football coach decision makers think they are hiring a coach for Maryville or Oakland. They need a young energetic coach who will inspire kids to stay in zone at Central. Too many of the guys they want just trying to squeeze some extra $$$ Make a decision

  4. I hear Cannon County is pretty good in your Region. I didn't know until a few days ago that Cheatham County was in Huntingdon's Region. I would think Cheatham, Huntingdon, Summertown and Loretto favorites to be in substate. Heard Loretto and Summertown with another big battle last night. Probably the best rival in the state.

  5. If they weren’t capable of succeeding at the next level they wouldn’t be being recruited. With all due respect, I’ll take the judgment of an ncaa div1 coach over your skepticism.

  6. There’s a lot of basketball left to play and everyone knows tournament play is where it counts. But the Red Rebels lead the district now with the big win last night.

  7. or they give you a lineup card with last names only. It takes time to properly fill out a scorebook for broadcast purposes. Coaches that delay giving lineup cards to PA or broadcast media are just rude. They think they are playing chess with the other teams coach but it's just a stupid game

  8. I appreciate it Hawk. The first half was about a good of battle as you will see. Both teams were throwing punches. Both teams led a few times. Gibson County got hot in the second half and started hitting a bunch of shots. Thought our team played very aggressive especially offensively. Sad deal to see the young star PG get hurt. Very good player and really fun to watch. Prayers for this young lady and the players, coaches and her family.

  9. I dont think this is helping their case. With Bradleys rich tradition in the sport, you would think they would have someone who the community knew traveling with yhe kids club. Shawn Cordell, Rusty Blackman, Ben Smith, Steve Logdson.....etc Lets be real.....they don't take it that serious. Thats why SD did what they did to them. An obvious value in the youth program.

  10. Yeah, the timer on the live stream is not linked to the official clock. They try to get it as close as possible, but it's not perfect. You can hear the buzzer just after the takedown was scored. Super close and a great match.

  13. Would Westview's old DC leave South Gibson for Westview? Everyone knows he wanted the job before they hired the last guy.
