Yea, it's pretty ridiculous. And it's not just any old #1 seeds. Legitimate state championship contenders with impressive histories have lost early: 103-Noman (2nd in 06, 3rd in 05) 125-Meyers (3rd in 06, 4th in 05) 130-Johnson (champ in 05)--lost in first round 140-McCroskey (3rd in 06, 5th in 05) 171-Robbins (5th in 06) 275-Murray (3rd in 06) I'm not so surprised that Johnson lost, but if you had asked me two years ago, I would be surprised at where he is now. It's got to be rare to win a state championship as a sophomore and not place the next two years, but that's what he's up against. I think his body just grew too fast for him to adjust to the higher weights. Hopefully, he will pick up a metal to redeem the loss.

There has been a rising interest in putting together some sort of state-wide publication to help wrestling fans follow their sport. So many times before, this kind of an idea comes up around state tournament time, and then everyone loses the excitement when the season is over. I am hoping to strike while the iron is still hot. I have been thinking getting involved in some sort of wrestling reporting for a while, so when I noticed other bringing up the idea, I decided to try an organize the "movement." If anyone has anything to offer (ideas, resources, experience, etc.), please go to the make-shift website below to further discuss the possibilities. Tennessee Wrestling Magazine Homepage
