I heard they voted on the freshman at the seeding meeting. I think its a great award but next year perhaps they should vote on it after the tournament. The best match was a good one but it should have never went to overtime in my opinion. They went out with :02 seconds left and on the resart, Oakland got called for stalling as time expired which sent it to overtime.

Got to keep it centrally located!

I think TMSAA wrestling programs are not allowed to wrestle club programs?

Now THAT'S the right question!

I couldnt believe that call either.

I would never read all that unless it was posted here in one place.

Not a very classy post. At all.

I see my misake now. Oops!

Im saying the week of the 4th is June 29th through July 5th. The week before that is June 22nd through June 28. SO reading that, Dead period should be from June 22nd through July 5th. The PDF I saw said that and then contradicted itself by saying: " Dead Period ................................................Jun. 21 – July 4, 2015" Am I looking at that incorrectly?

"The Dead Period, which is to be observed by all schools, is the week of the 4th of July and the preceding week – 14 days" "Dead Period ................................................Jun. 21 – July 4, 2015" So dead period this year begins on Saturday and ends on Friday. That is not the week of 4th of July and the preceding week. Just sayin.....

Lol champs. You are making a fool of yourself. I am Matt Sells. If you want to talk about Blackman, find me at the state tournament and ill be glad to fill you in. Sounds like you are a McCallie parent who is upset about the results of the dual. What's your name? You brought up the penalty for filming. Not me. I am just curious if there is one. I don't think there is.

So what's the penalty?

haha...thats what I thought.

So I'm curious, since Sommers is a just a fan, please tell us what the penalty is.

Make no mistake, and everyone know it. Blackman loves Coach John!

Over the years it seems to me that a meet with four teams is a quad. Three teams is a tri and two teams is a dual. None of those are really proper but all are understood. We don't need no grammar no more anyway

I kind of wish they would have had a medal presentation so people could get pictures. It would also help keep people around long enough for the heavies to finish wrestling. Good tournament tho. Ran pretty quick and good atmosphere.

Agreed

haha Congrats centennial!

Because I like worrying about things like that. Your last post was like a year ago...did I hit a nerve? The rest of you have some good points. In youth wrestling, the kids are taught to go shake the opposing coaches hand. I have noticed that most collegiate wrestlers do not. Was just curious when it was appropriate to stop. That ok with you 2blLeg?

So lately I have decided that there is not much interesting going on the wrestling forum so I have taken to make it more so. At GP West, one of our wrestlers beat a guy by a close decision and after the match the other kid was so dejected that he simply walked to the circle, bent down and pulled off the leg band, stuck his hand out backwards without making any eye contact, made limp hand contact with the winning wrestler, and finally walked back to his corner, shook his own coaches hand and walked off the mat. The omission of shaking the opposing coach's hand I took as a sign of disrespect and immaturity. It also hurts the reputation of his team in my opinion. Anyone disagree?

On topic, is there video or a pic of the cradle at the end of the 145 finals? I heard Hamilton was in big trouble at the end.

Just drop it guys. Coaches won't air it often but sometimes Little Johnny will pay for a parents comments. That's the beauty of having a place like CoachT.

I suspect the five match rule will come into play for some guys?

Didnt know I was gonna start such a storm. - First, no apologies from me in the matter. I am still shaking my head. Injuries happen in wrestling as does illness. It's a part of the sport.. The decision I made to post about it was not intended to disrespect the program at Centennial. They have a great program and that's that. With that said, I think many kids deserve every opportunity to get their name out there. As many know, there is no better recruiting tool for your high school kid than for him to place at the biggest tournaments available. It is that mindset that I worked under when commenting in the first place, If the logic presented is correct, all a kid needs to do is worry about his team goals. Then after team duals at state he can consider himself? If he does that and respects his team then he will get a scholarship? See where I am going with that? There's a delicate balance of team and individual in wrestling and certainly I do think that EVERY wrestler that competed at GP West is better today than they were Friday morning. That shouldn't get lost in the mix over the goals of the team. JMHO Best of luck to Centennial and their wrestlers!
