pd I have to disagree. I have taken my whole team to Coach Lou Rosselli's camps at Edinboro and at Ohio State and they are excellent camps the instruction is second to none, the conditions where always great, and my kids had a great time wrestling and working out 8 to 9 hours a day and goofing off with the camp help. Those summer trips is something graduated wrestlers always bring up when i see them or they come by my house to let me know how they are doing. Those were great summers every year for 10 in a row, we had a lot of fun and really improved or wrestling. Coach Rosselli really lets the kids see what they are really capable of doing.

I don't think P.F. is in our region for small schools. Should be G-devils and the HV-warriors

No one has seen M.E. up in the upper half where the two preseason events were held.

There were a lot of very solid looking wrestlers at D.C. sat. D.B. looked good, H.V.

looked great for a second year team, they were very impressive. Host school looked

good. S.E. will have another solid team. W. G. and C.D. both had good numbers and

will be solid before the season is through.

Does anyone have any knowledge of the club. Where and when they practice. Are they wrestling

any where just what is going on.

Why 50% forfeits in any state. Needs to be 110.

Pummel you get it, not all seem to as henry said he does not think this will happen.

ND and RB are not for it he does not like the ideal. the other 45 or 50 small school

coaches who like it does not really matter. I know reg.1 likes it and reg.2 is on

board. I think reg.1 has one coach that didn't like the ideal. I believe there would

be a large majority of small schools that would favor the separation. In 2006 at the

coaches meeting this came up and I believe there were about 60 coaches in favor

and 12 or 13 against. These were both large and small schools at the meeting.

This will help or sport in the state it will not hurt it. But most only care about who

is really no. 1 that is all that is important. Growth, survival girls wrestling growing

wrestling prospering these are things that are good in theory, but who is the real

no.1 that is what is of utmost importance.

If you do not care to travel. Look at Lou Rosselli's intensive training camps at Ohio State university.

Lou is a great guy and a tremendous coach. He will get things out of your kid he never thought

he had in him. It is a great experience. Went 4 years in a row.

That will make them stronger and better men. They have my respect. Whether 1 or 32

they fought the fight.

We have a true state. That is a really bad thing to say. These kids work hard and if you

ask I bet none of them feel slightest cause there is a D1 and D2. This attitude is what hurts wrestling in the end. As long as we are good or the best sc@#$w the rest. It only counts if you a 1 and thats it

we have to have only 1.

I think a small school state is the very best thing that could happen for wrestling.

There would be 60 plus teams and i truly believe it would help wrestling grow which is

what we want to happen. I believe we would pass 200 programs in a few years and

approach 250 in a few more years. It has caused wrestling to grow in all states around

us, so i am sure it would never work here in TN. We only need a few to be good not

all, wrestling will die if the communities attitude does not change.

This is an attitude that is killing this sport. If you do not always wrestle the perceived best

then you are not really accomplished. No one said that any of these kids are the very best

they are undefeated they beat everyone that has been put in front of them. That is great accomplishment

what else could they have done, all of these young men should feel good as should there

parents, coaches, teams and there schools. Congrats guys and way to represent yourselves

in our great sport.

S. Mc we do it for your entertainment. Have you been undressing in the middle of any

crowed gyms lately. Hope you are doing well.

I went back through my posts and out of 105 only about 7 was about officiating and only 4 of those were complaining. i may have missed a few though. I never ever thought i was a very good coach.

I also never thought i complained about the officials that much. Your normal get ticked

off and get over it, I was not really commenting on the call you made Sat. More on blindrefs comment

End of Discussion. You also do not know me well as a coach, if you did you would know that

I always told my under achieving kids that in my then 34+ years around wrestling i had only

seen maybe 4 matches that i thought and official had done something that cost a wrestler a match.

Now in my 38 years around wrestling I still have only seen a few matches where a ref had cost some

one a match. I always taught may wrestlers which were at a vast disadvantage because of poor coaching that the out come was yours to try and control not the opponent not the refs. We did not whine about

officiating, as I remember I questioned very few calls. But i am getting old and my memory is going.

Also if I were physically able I would as you say give something back to the sport and officiate.

As i have given very little in my 38 years of involvement. If I have offended you Rod or you Stan accept

may apology. As I know it does not mean as much coming from a low rung whiner of a has-been

coach who continually cost his kids championships through his own inadequacies.

 

Thank You Bill Potter

It helps

As i said the gods have spoken!

 

Go to Tssaa.org and you can find the info about becoming an official there.

gods have spoken refs are always right they are the only ones who know the rules and

the sport. Coaches know nothing of wrestling rules or the sport of wrestling. END OF

I would like to thank Coach Buzzy Mann Dobyns Bennett High for doing an excellent job

hosting this year we were done and out by 8:00 both nights excellent job everything

ran smooth. I would also like to congratulate Science Hill on a great season finishing

3rd. and dominating the region tournament. I would also like to wish all the young men

representing Region 1 the best next week in Franklin. Be safe on the trip and wrestle hard.

Start 5:30 Friday should end around 9:30 or 10:00 Sat. start 10:00 to 10:30 finals around 5:30

I am from the East end of the state, the refs here are very average at best. Of course some better than others. A few years ago a very well respected Chatt. area ref came to Reg. 1 area to call a tournament and he was taken back by the level of non communication between officials and the relationships between officials and coaches. The ref told me he had tried to help some of the other refs at the tournament and they had basicly told him they new it all, they needed no help. He was really shocked at how they treated him. This guy has been calling for 37 years or more and does an incredible job. I have also been up in the ohio and Pa. areas and there training is much more extensive for refs than ours is, you have to call Jr. High and AAU-USA levels for a few years then go on to high school. Take annual tests and be observed by a ref panel.

Thanks Boro

What happened at 215 to Lewis from SH. Was he DQ'ed out of tournament.

We would all like to say Congrats to Coach George "Buzzy" Mann on getting his 300th coaching

win last night at Jeff. County. Great job coach it could not have came at a better time with

a state birth on the line. Congrats to The Hill it was never in doubt who was No. 1 the other

spot was up in the air. Congrats to Jefferson County and Morristown West on good dual seasons. We all know that The Toppers and The Indians will represent region 1 well at The

State Duals.

What is going on in the AAA region duals. Jeff and DB should have been a good match. The fight was for second. There should have been some good matches post results as you get them Please.

Where did everyone wrestle in region 1 over the weekend and what happened.

I see the duals have been change to Monday at jeff. Starting at 6:30 I guess.

I hope to able to attend.
