Any results from last night's matches?

I was talking to a good friend today from the west side of the state. He said his wife found an official TN Wrestling Referee's Certification in a box of Cracker Jacks. I guess this explains what was witnessed at the State Duals.

Also, teams shake hands at the end of each match.

I'll tell you what their thinking......their thinking about themselves!! So many of the TN refs. make it about themselves and not the kids!!! This crap has got to stop!!!

Agreed!!!! Man up! It's no difference when a 152 wrestles a 160 and that 160 cut down to make weight and then weighs 163 to 165

Does anyone have any info. / teams for this event?

Team Scores 1. Christian Brothers (Memphis) 665.0 2. Lincoln-Way Central 598.0 3. Archer 594.5 4. Neosho 478.5 5. Lincoln-Way West 409.0 6. Granite City 387.0 7. Willowbrook 349.0 8. Staley 326.5 9. O`Fallon 306.0 10. Timberland

What happen to Buckey Johnson? Thought he was granted another year.

I'm thinking 113

It's a done deal! He's going to Blair. He has family there.

What teams will be there?

Soddy 40 Cleveland 25

Is it true Hayes is hurt?

No it was not the same ref. That ref is horrible, but Simpson should have been hit for stalling several times. Every time Johnson stood up Simpson threw in legs.

What's this world coming to? So let me make sure I understand this. I guess, only their "TOP" wrestlers will be taking their exams?? All the rest get to go wrestle.

"heard yesterday that Watson is hurt so prob want see that match" What happened to Watson??? How long will he be out?

Too many nationally proven freshman not to rank them this year. I won't make a habit out of it though. I don't like doing it but in some cases it is just silly not to. However, things like 103... just not sure where those chips will fall yet. Heck I don't even know most of the starters yet. Too many nationally proven freshman....???? Who are they...?????

The JV Div. is the same as always, everone line up behind the big red machine of Baylor. McCallie can talk about their team all they want to. Who's back, what weight they're going to wrestle,etc......it don't matter!! Baylor Father Ryan McCallie Christian Brothers Then everyone else....

Heard MBA hosted a middle school tournament this past weekend. Anyone have the results or comments?

Bond didn't win a state title on the mat. He won one on a protest. Pretty sure it was in 2004 or 2005.

On the DII side of things, Baylor will be strong as always. They always have a way of reloading. Father Ryan, McCallie and the Brothers will still be behind Baylor trying to figure out who will be in second. I've heard several times that the Brothers have a strong frosh class coming in this year. Does anyone from the west have any details?

Thanks Jethro, The Fly isn't gonna bother me......Flies are always involved with a bunch of sh........ oops, I mean .....crap!! Hopefully I'll be back! Let me say again the tournament was great! The hosts were great. The BBQ is awesome!

Who is "WE" that's trying to get better? Not sure the exact number of teams that were there and where they were all from, but I can tell you what I observed. Shane and Rabbit (Soddy Daisy) are NOT high school coaches. Higher Calling (Cleveland) didn't even have a coach there, the wrestlers were coaching each other. West Tenn. (CBHS) Baker, Baucke, Hataway and House none of which are high school coaches. If CBHS, Cleveland and Soddy's coach was there, I must have missed them. Who ever YOU are.......you are doing something different!! It's called breaking the rules in an attempt to get better!!

Great trip to west side of the state! Great tournament with good competition and very well ran. Looks like the boys from the west are getting much better. One thing I don't understand is how "known" high school coaches were allowed to coach their "own" kids. Correct me if wrong, but isn't this the period where high school coaches are not supposed to have "contact" or give instruction during matches or during a practice?

Alright GHOUSE, you know a lot of middle school kids, how about you throw out a few names.
