All of them?

I had sons that were seniors both those years.

McCallie's last regular season dual victory was in 2004. They beat Baylor in the state dual finals in 2006. The regular season team score at McCallie wasn't close with Baylor winning every close match. Enough of the toss ups went the other way in state duals finals for McCallie to win the championship.

No McCallie?

Congratulations to Baylor for a preseason #4 ranking behind Wyoming Seminary, Blair, and Malvern Prep. and to McCallie at #10.

Thanks for the research

I meant to focus more on the 13 top 4 finishes. Has that been done before?

13 placers at 4th and above with 6 champions. Has that been done before?

Baylor is currently in 2nd place. A good showing for Tennessee so far.

Wow- what a surprise. Welcome back BCB. I like your idea but I bet that doesn't happen.

That's a good question RK. Apparently you believe Mrs. Manson needs to take it up a notch. I'll have that discussion next time I see her.

Christian Brothers 12th, McCallie 8th, and Baylor 5th. Impressive showing for Tennesee contingent.

There is no doubt there are brilliant kids in public school doing amazing things academically. They've made choices and are excelling within those choices. However, at the same time, there are a lot of people making the choice to pay a lot of money for the perceived academic benefits of these private schools. If those benefits aren't there then a lot of people are wasting significant amounts of money. Either way, if a family believes there is value in attending these schools, and they happen to have a kid who dreams of college athletics, are you saying that the kid should have to give up a year of eligibility, thereby jeopardizing their college athletic opportunities, in order to transfer to the school of their choice? Other than Ad's and coaches who want to minimize competition I don't see how that benefits anyone, particularly the kids.

Only missed two. Pretty impressive.

That's a pretty creative and selective memory.

Is the point here that an athlete should be punished for wanting to improve their opportunities both athletically and academically? It may come as a surprise to many on this board but there is much more to the decisions and sacrifices these families make than only wrestling. If a school wants to compete then compete. Penalizing a kid because his family chooses to improve his educational opportunities is a pretty cheap way to do it. Regarding the 170 match, it brought back memories of FR/Baylor matches of old- the name Provenzano rings a bell. If you believe that last night one side acted with exemplary sportsmanship, both on and off the mat, while the other one did not, you are mistaken.

Hmmm- McCallie loses by 16 at home to Baylor and they're still ranked ahead of them. Makes sense to me.

The last time McCallie beat Baylor in a dual was in the state dual finals in 2006.

The Big Red takes it 40-24.

Big win for Baylor on McCallie’s home court.

Baylor’s Mason Reiniche has commited to wrestle at the next level for the Cornell Big Red. He follows previous Baylor wrestlers Jordan Leen, who was an NCAA champion for the Big Red, and Corey Manson. Congratulations Mason- seems like a perfect fit to me. Coaches Koll, Grey, and Hahn done good.

Boyd Buchanan has put together a great coaching team. The above mentioned Manson told me recently that he is confident that it is only a matter of time for Boyd Buchanan to be state champions with Shane at the helm.

Does this mean that McCallie will win the Baylor dual?
