As a Centennial Parent, shouldn't you air your disappointment to your coach in a private setting than air it out in a public forum. Sounds like a middle school parenting move to me...

Blake Got 3rd. he lost a one point decision in the semi's to a good wrestler out of sale creek

Good point

well that's good you don't have a dog in the hunt, it is unusual to see a 3-0 match change so drastically but it was the right call, the ref that made the call is what i consider one of the best in the state if he showed any hesitation by his actions it was probably out of surprise i mean how many times do u see a match swing that fast and that close to the end.

I saw a two count, just sayin....

Nope I saw that match it was the right call. Not questionable at all don't get on here and complain when your wrestler gave up and got taken down and put to his back in less that 5 seconds that Heritage kid wrestled the whole six minutes.

No doubt Wilco schools did a great job hosting the hospitality room last year, best at the state when you compare what was offered in chattanooga. The coaches did have to pay for the meals, so its kind of strange that the T$$AA would butt in and take control of this and I also agree that coaches and refs will probably not be as thrilled this year about what the T$$AA sets out for the coaches and refs to munch on.

with two matches to go soddy is up 27 to 24 lewis is the last wrestler for soddy

Hixson was up 7-2 at time of DQ he had full control of the match, no doubt he was on in the semi's i thought it was going to go the other way but he came out and wrestled one heck of a match. Same for in the finals He did have some good breaks but when it came down to it he wrestled well and deserved every bit of where he ended up at.

He bit the Hixson kid. and got DQ

what happened to the cookville 160, thought he was a pretty tough kid when i saw him wrestle earlier this year.

put on a pair of stripes and ref yourself..... most parents do not understand all the rules anyway. Like this past weekend this happened at a different tournament btw but a reversal was given at the edge of the mat, the wrestler who was being revered was completely out of bounds(all supporting parts) however the one that got the reversal was completely in bounds (all supporting parts), the parents of the wrestler being revered were yelling down at the official claiming that they were out of bounds. The rule states that one supporting part of both wrestler has to be out of bounds in order for it to be out of bounds. I say this b/c in the minds of those parents that ref was terrible however he made the right call. Here's a hint for parents if you don't see your coach going to the table to protest its probably the right call. just wanted to give my 2 cents since everyone else is.

as a hillwood alum who wrestled on that 2005 team, i'm glad to hear that the program is back and heading into the right direction. I'm happy to hear that there is some excitement about the sport over there and it sounds like the head coach is a stand up guy who is working hard to change the culture over there. I wish him the best of luck.

Why is this conversation even going on? Sliger would win, however I do believe he has hung up his shoes and is not longer wrestling in college.

A paid assistant job might be hard to find, however you could ref, what's your e-mail and i'll send you some info.

What's the schedule look like for tomorrow?

about 5 years back Hillwood and Hillsboro had a 17 inning game, had to be suspended due to darkness and later picked back up when the two met up later on in the season. Hillsboro ended up with the W

Hood has descisioned Hays twice in the past.

I agree with Bradley08 as well. I am shocked that people are defending this ref, middle, east, west, it doesn't matter where he is from what he did was ridiculous.

I am pretty sure that the ref that officiated the Cleveland/Clarksville match was a Region 2 representative referee.

Well said, no argument here.

Sounds like you should join the association and don some strips yourself.

IT's on the back side of the arena, there's a hill running away from campus, not a whole lot of spots it will probably feel up some what fast with a bunch of chattanooga folks and UTC students, I guess that's just another advantage of having state in your back yard.

on the hill
