No, they did not throw a game. That guy is an idiot. They didn’t play well and in district 7 AAA if you don’t play well you get beat. This is not a cupcake district. Cumberland County high school is sitting at home because they didn’t play well. They are a very good team that did not make the region tournament and it wasn’t because they tanked. The Upperman program doesn’t dodge anyone. I remember years ago when you had Jackson County at their best Livingston and Upperman all in the same district and Coach McWilliams could have thrown a game to get opposite of the other two but did not. JC would go on to win their first of 4 gold balls in a row, Upperman won a couple of Silver balls along with Livingston winning 2 as well and not one time did Coach McWilliams throw a game to avoid playing those teams so keep your mouth shut about Upperman. This guy is just mad because his team got beaten on their home floor by a better team. Back to the topic of discussion…

2020 and 2021 Tennessee did not send kids to National Preps. 2020 the TSSAA moved the calendar so that our States was the same weekend. I’ve never been more angry in my entire life. We were willing to skip States and go to Preps instead but McCallie wouldn’t let us. National Preps is the most important tournament of the year for private school kids and it’s the reason why a lot of us sent our kids to private school. My son got all of his interest and his offer for Pitt from his performance at National Prep as did most of his teammates that are wrestling D1 today. This tournament is that important. Lakeway wasn’t eligible to send their kids to state in 2020 cause they were a new program(which maybe the stupidest rule ever) and they sent Ivey and Roller who both placed(actually both of them had phenomenal tournaments and beat some hammers) and this tournament helped both of them get their offers to UVA and WVU. As for 2021, PA and NJ was still locked down because of Covid so no PA and NJ schools were allowed to compete, so National Prep decided to have an Open tournament about 6 weeks after they normally have it. I forget were it was, but it wasn’t at Lehigh of course. The tournament was open to any private school kid in the country who wanted to show up as this was not a school affiliated event. A lot of TN kids went so we had a strong showing. But most of the brackets were half full as freestyle season had already started. Not taking anything against anyone who placed in 2021 but 2021 wasn’t the National Prep Championships but just a standard open tournament.

The good old days!

Nobody cares what your opinions are. You sit on the couch and don’t even support your team so eat another Twinkie and watch us play tomorrow night!!

Congrats Turtle!!!

Correct happened a sectionals.

Hammontree is a great strength and conditioning guy. I love his old school, disciplined approach that also integrates a real deep expertise. Any athlete who is willing to commit to his program will get better working with him in the weight room.

Looked like a badly dislocated shoulder. I saw his coach trying to pop it back into socket. He was wearing a shoulder brace so I suspect he was battling through a prior injury.

I hate to say (kinda, but not really lol) but it gives us other teams in the other parts of the state a chance now. Who is the best AAAA team out there right now, Bartlett?

Depends on who's visitin Aluminum City to challenge them tinheads Booger just sayin

I’m biased but he’s from good football lineage. John Ross is a former player at Henry County and the grandson of former Patriots head coach Bill Hudson, and also the nephew of current Patriots assistant coach/former NFL player John Hudson. Wishing him all the best at Camden!

Logan did win. Can’t remember best match. But the two best matches ended in controversy.

I think Logan Fowler

Hear the new DC at HHS gonna be the DL coach. Anyone heard anything on this Whitehead guy? All I’ve heard is good things. Heard defense will stay similar with a few of his new things.

Booker could GO! One of the most underrated players in Knoxville during that span of time.

Congratulations Turtle, thought you might like this blast from the past when they won the state in 2001.

Cleveland clearly ahead of everyone, but Williamson County with 5 of top 11 teams is ridiculous depth. Only other region with 2 was Memphis.

And young at that.

Good coach and even better person...you couldn't do better than Woodmore for an ever-present example of how to be a man of character. One of the finest human beings that I know.

hahahahahaah

NO! TSSAA would laugh right in your face. That is fair but TSSAA isn't into Fairness. Nope because Brentwood Academy lawsuit. We all have to suffer. TSSAA likes making money.

It’s still supposed to be a blind draw. Last year York and Westview was a first round matchup after they played in the Championship game the year before. They were clearly the 2 best teams in AA and one was sent home in the first game. 2 years ago the Single A bracket had 4 teams that won their Regional Championships on one side of the bracket vs 4 teams that finished runner up in the Regionals. It mind numbing at times.

This thread almost guarantees Dyersburg vs White Co in the first round of the State Tournament (if they both make it) because the TSSAA doesn’t know how to draw up brackets.

Congratulations to both the girls & boys on the regular season championship and the tournament championship. Lots of hard work involved.

I wouldn't discount the 76-77 Perry County teams. Didn't see the Haston teams play but Mike Rhodes was unstoppable in the state tournament both of those years. Overall, they may have not stacked up against the other teams, but someone would have to cover Mike Rhodes. Bolton had some very good teams in the late 70s and early 80s as well.

Thank you for showing us the mercy rules on how to shut him off. I'll never see him again, want to bet?? I guarantee it...
