i hope grace gets destroyed, go oliver springs(only time i will cheer for os)

no come on is this not basically the same thing as d1 and d2, if u have three classes that makes three first place winners and even more bickering and arguing about who would win if they were combined, it is good like it is come on the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence but it may be better to stay where we r. the sport will grow on it's on with more and more schools having middle school and aau programs

what large mohawk kid if it is the one i am thinking of he is a senior this year. grrenback lost only two seniors last year and have the best player in the distirct and probably the region out in center with baker, hopefully he will get a college offer with this season, he is good enough to. but from what i heard it should be harriman and greenback but don't count out rockwood experience may come with reminders of their tradition of going to the state tournament

whether he can make weight or not the greenback 103 is tanner not josh

there is a boy from greenback that is a senior named kaleb baker, that plays center that can flat out fly, i believe he was clocked at a 6.5 or 6.6 60 yard dash, and he hits for a very high average, the is one downside with the kid though not much of a power game. this kid could start about anywhere in east tennessee and be good there, he is one of the better players not many people other than in east tenn. single a have heard of

mat back i have no clue about william blount but from what i saw of the halls j.v. and freshmen they have some fairly good kids in the waiting, but i am guessing just a down year. now maryville i can't explain cause they should have a good team and i was told that blake at 152 did not wrestle for maryville. when i was at "THE NATION" we had really competitive matches with both schools, and i hope it is like that again for the sake of wrestling in this area it needs more than Greenback and Seymour to keep people interested. i would like to add go NATION

yeah i agree with old pirate but it is sometimes harder to get noticed if you are at a small 1a school like a midway or even greenback rather than a school like maryville

i have only participated at this tournament one year but it was run to perfection, and had some very good wrestlers not only from tennessee but from virginia as well.

don't know if u r still looking at this topic or not, but two years ago when i was in high school i took it upon myself and sent tapes and went to tryouts. make sure he is comfortable running the 40 and 60 yard dash, cause it is a solid part of it. but there are division 2 schools that could be a better fit than a d-1aa. like a tusculum carson newman or a lincoln memorial. possibly naia like king. hope this helps

which class are u talking about or all east tennessee, cause greenback could be good this year. i believe rockwood lost almost everyone last year so this may be the open door that district was waiting for to knock roockwood down.

the way i see it there are only a couple of weights locked up barring something catastrophic happening. 119 with biddy 125 with mr. boone, 135 with grahm, 171 with mr. young, 189 with croy, and 215 with patton. these guys are proven winners and they should win now they may be tested but they should come out on top. all the other weights could go to two three or even four young men so i can't predict that, but i would like to add go nation.

u have to figure that the nation has a shot to have a state qualifier at almost every weight. silas and eddie will be hard to replace but if there is a coach that can find a way it is ridge. it would be nice to see bunkie wrestle again, last time i saw him wrestle was my 8th grade year, and he was impressive. good luck boys i will be there to cheer u on

from what i know about last year's season this year was pretty good comparatively. aside from Quarrels at maryville, u would be hard pressed to find a better head coach than "wild bill." i know there were forces beyond his control at greenback that caused him to leave but you all have a great coach, just listen and u will improve in the years to come

i have a problem with this topic the season is not even over yet. i could see if it was the week of the championship or semifinals, but come on now. anything can happen. sp or tc might not be there, after they play each other to what i have been told will be a very rough game. may be surprised the next week. a prime example of anything can happen is the new england patriots in the super bowl, but the giants played with guts and came out fired up. that may be what happens to either sp or tc. but let this week finish before any more predictions are made people, honestly

greenback returns a lot of guys to look out for at state. to name a few sluder, jeremy miller,jackie miller, jess hooper, and well basically the whole team if they work hard like they have in the past
