60-15 rout by Christian Brothers over St. Benedict for the the Division 2 West Regional wrestling title. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2012/jan/19/purple-waves-wrestlers-rout-sba-for-west/

I think your bet is well placed. I SBA has some good wrestlers, my favorite being Lamer, but the Brothers have a strong group.

What happened to Jesse Jones at 182? I heard he dropped out with an injury?

You should try one of the NAGA events. It is submission wrestling and Jujitsu. I saw several high school wrestlers at the one that was held in Nashville last fall. http://nagafighter.com/ In Memphis Urban Kickboxing host the MAGC grappling tournament usually about twice per year. EGO Extreme Grappling Open http://extremegrapplingopen.com/ has tournaments in Nashville and throughout the middle US. Living Defense Martial Arts host BJJ/grappling tournaments in Little Rock Ark.

NAGA just held a submission wrestling/BJJ meet in Nashville. I saw a number of HS wrestlers competing. It as almost as safe as wrestling for HS athletes. MMA is different. Getting punched in the face while trying to set up a wrestling move changes the equation drastically. Also, some of the injuries, cuts, and broken bones would be unacceptable to parents. I personally don't think MMA is a sport for minors. There's plenty of time after they turn 18 if they are interested.

I like the new weight classes in upper weight range. I think it better reflects boys actual weight and makes for more even competition.

Will Jones go 195 this year?

About 20 to 25 teams I remember a few of them. Blackman TN Brother Martin LA CBHS MBA Grissom AL Hoover AL Germantown Cordova Brentwood Briarcrest Arlington Hixon ELM

I believe Barrett Walthall (CBHS) wrestled at 182 at the Germantown Pre-Season placing second.

I heard White Station in Memphis cancelled its program. Several White Station wrestlers competed at NAGA in Nashville two weeks ago which I doubt they would do if they were wrestling.

There were many good matches this weekend. It thought Cordova looked good. You did a good job in the finals lots of slick moves against a quick strong opponent. You going to Black Horse?
