My knees getting better every day. If my recovery keeps going as fast as it's going, my doctor says there is a small chance of me being able to wrestle at regionals.

Caleb Leonard from Halls. He got first at Catholic Invintational, and sixth in state last year as a sophomore.

Yes all of the coaches were there to help.

Just to let everyone know. The players themselves were the ones who not only ripped up the artificial turf on the sidelines, but were also the ones who installed the sod on the field thursday. Hopefully by not hiring anybody to do it we were able to save some money for that new field house. lol

Halls has 2 up-coming juniors that both started last year as sophomores that were transfers Caleb Leonard transferred from Gibbs and Daniel Hodge from Anderson County

There's a lot of defeses out there. The 5-2, the 4-4, the 3-3-5, or the good old 4-3 just to mention a few. What formation is your favorites. Which do you think is the most effective?

Tyler is tough. He can throw the ball and he isnt afraid to take a hit. He's one of those guys who can throw for a td and then run one in the very next possesion.

I think Halls will do a lot better than last year. Maryville should retain their unbeatable flair. My list is basicly the same as yours except that I think everybody should be looking for Clinton to do much better. They've had pretty good jv teams the last couple of years and I think they might be on their way to a winning season.

I doubt Coop would come back with a sincere attitude and say sorry. He'll probably just focus on basketball and baseball now.

Your probably right, Coop quit, but ill bet he'll be back

Personally I believe this would be a great idea, most guys in DII who win state their sophmore and junior years have it made pretty easy their senior year. If there was one state, the level of competition at the state tournament would be much higher and we would see less 3x state champs, and we also would see less state championship matches that fail to even make it into the 3rd period. You people cant tell me that you wouldn't want to see some of the best in DI wrestle against a DII champ that had breezed through their senior season.

Our program at Knoxville Halls is on the rise. Coach Sayne took over this year and we went from winning two dual meets to having a pretty good winning record, not to mention the fact that we went from not even placing as a team in the kil, to coming in second this year. three of our guys went to state this year (all sophmores) and our heavyweight placed 6. Not to mention the fact that our team is comprised of almost all sophmores, we still have two more years

yeah Frankie's always had close matches with Reveiz (including one for third), but Frankie has this weird mental block with Reveiz. Frankie's beat people who have killed Reveiz before, like at that tournament ( i dont remember which one, sorry) where that state champ from florida showed up. when shane wrestled the florida guy he got his but kicked, but frankie ended up beating the florida guy by 2.

The closing of school facilities like the school's weight room and wrestling room really puts a damper on a wrestler's training if they do not have transportation. For a lot of underclassmen and juniors and seniors without cars or money to go to private training facilities(like paying 30 bucks to work out for two weeks at the rush), this dead period almost prevents them from practicing. Not saying that the truly committed wouldn't find a place to work out or wrestle, im just saying it makes things much harder on them I do have one question, though. If a wrestler plays another sport, such as football, could they get their other coach to open up the weight room so that they could work out during the dead period, and vice versa during the football dead period?

Does anybody know any good teams to join to learn how to wrestle freestyle?
