Coaches, fan, wrestlers, etc. Jan. 13th should prove to be one of the most exciting matches in Tennessee Wrestling. Over 2,500 people were at the Bradley match last year and the Raider Dome only seats 2,200. To guarantee a great seat we are offering 100 seats on each side for $20 dollars a piece. The $20 dollar ticket will get you in with no waiting in line, will come with free soda, hot dog, and popcorn and will be there no matter what time you arrive. If you are interested in the seating contact coach hatcher at coachhatcher@gmail.com or call (423) 303-0760. Call while tickets are still available.

Coach, We got your roster. No need to fax! See you on Monday.

Congrats to Cleveland Middle for their 66-15 win over Bagley and their 81-0 win over Ocoee Middle.

Baylor is unable to attend the duals on Dec. 13th due to finals on that Saturday. We just found out so we are trying to replace them immediately. If interested contact Coach Eslinger asap at heatheslinger@yahoo.com

Cleveland will be hosting a pre-season tournament for beginners and freshman only this Saturday, Nov. 15th.

The match will be Monday, Nov. 3rd at 7 p.m. in the Jones Wrestling Center. Cost is $5

There are still openings for the Ocoee Middle School tournament which will be held on November 22. There are currently 7 teams entered. The tournament will offer a Varsity and a JV division. For information contact Al Morris at 423-716-7887 or almorris@bradleyschools.org.

This Sunday's UTC practice will be held a the Soddy Daisy wrestling facility at 5:00 p.m. This will only be for this Sunday. Pratice will resume at MacKenzie Arena next Sunday. For more information, contact Javier Maldonado at 623-225-9085.

I agree, it is a bad date for the kids that are taking their ACT but it is a good date for kids that are not, especially those looking for some matches in preparation for the Super 32. Last weekend would have been a bad date also because of fall breaks and we couldn't host one next weekend because of the Super 32. We're trying to accomodate as best we can. We should still have a pretty good turnout. The Alabama Wrestling Club is bringing 20+, Lions Pride from Nashville told me yesterday that he had about 15 confirmed, Cleveland will have 25+, that's a decent turnout with just 3 clubs. I've gotten other registrations already, not to mention that Soddy always brings a good group and hopefully Bradley brings their guys like last time. It should be a good tournament with good competition. Just a reminder, if you are coming, make sure to email me (coachhatcher@gmail.com) your name, division, and weight class by Thursday. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Mike Hatcher

I am getting all of the results together. I will hopefully have them posted by sometime tomorrow. There were about 65 kids there on Saturday and a lot of great competition.

This will be a great opportunity to get some matches in before the season starts, as well as a great opportunity for the Super 32 participants to get ready for November 1st. I have been told that the next one will be even better attended. I have another post on here with all of the information. Thanks, Mike Hatcher

Cleveland will be hosting a Freshman Tournament on Dec. 22nd and a JV tournament on Dec. 29th.
