Blackman has won the last two AAU Club State Titles. Bosken was on CoachT giving them props on this message board last year, so despite the poster, there is respect from their coaching staff.

It sounds like Baylor was able to accommodate his request to have the ability to graduate early and enroll at Tennessee in January.

Are the Admin that were employed when Dilfer and Mawae were head coaches and the, “alleged infractions,” took place still on staff at Lipscomb? Is Mawae the only person at Lipscomb who “resigned,” during the Deuce situation or were there others? (I have not followed closely)

Good info. The plan for G-Mac and UT Coaching Staff is for him to be on campus in January of 2025 as a student at the University of Tennessee.

Has there been discussion on how G-Mac is going to enroll early at Tennessee? Will this be his last week of high school basketball and BA allow him to graduate early, so he can enroll at Tennessee next January?

Thanks for posting!!

Just got back from the Ag Center and just clicked on NFHS to watch the replay and it will not play?

Done! Thank you, @oceansize42

I think you are lumping me into the wrong crowd or taking my comment out of context. I have posted three times, and I said I had respect for HCWC, coaches should be paid, and that you made a great investment for your son and his wrestling future. My comment about the funding/donations was intended to say that the program had not been at a high level until the most recent staff took over and got all the kids in the area back in the wrestling room which you and your family (like many others) are benefitting from. It’s great for wrestling in the State.

Sir. Respectfully. If you and your son are there for “coaching and partners,” (which I agree are top notch) it is because of the funding/money that was raised (and matched by a donor) that pay the coaches who went out and brought in the kids which they now teach, coach and motivate at a high level. Your family is receiving those benefits due to the funding that paid the Club Coaches salary (Only 2-3 Clubs in the state do that). It’s a great investment by HCWC and you as a father to your son. Like I mentioned in my first post in this thread, hats off and respect to how the program has evolved and rolling.

For the record, I am in favor of coaches being paid (I would pay them too) for the time spent during the season. Just asking for clarity on where the fee goes.

For clarification, because every club across the state is different. Where does your $250-500 for the club season go if you are paying for gear, travel and every event? Does that go to coaches?

Hats off and respect to all programs, coaches, parents and local businesses that help raise money to support Wrestling in the State of Tennessee! The sport is booming, and will continue to get better. Do Club Programs have to pay to use the Wrestling Facility or is that donated by the school/city? Do coaches run clinics in the facility and keep proceeds from clinics/camps from attendees, which is income or donated back to the Club Program? How much are the Club coaches paid? There are probably 2-3 Clubs that pay their coaches in the State of Tennessee. (That # will increase in the future, and some of the coaches are doing a phenomenal job and have earned that pay-check for their Programs) Cost for Wrestling: AAU Card/Membership Singlet/Shoes Travel to Tournaments (Entry fee for fans)

Did Ryan and Summit wrestle in any Tournaments other than the Drennan Tournament this season? In that Tourney Ryan finished 3rd (without Tran and Lemaota), Brentwood finished 5th and Summitt 7th (without Demorest and Posey).

That’s a tough call. Unfortunate ending for Summitt too. 4th place with the best team that they have ever had. That Cleveland match took a lot out of them, but battled tough in the consolation bracket.

I know it is all hypothetical and we all enjoy the discussion of message board predictions, which are always fun, but even with Baylor’s 138 and 144 out, they could still win it all. If I remember correctly, Joyner was up 7-3 and then got pinned in the third period by Cross (awesome match!). Baylor wins the Dual at McCallie if he finishes the match and they would have been the #1 seed. (I know. He lost. Baylor lost. I get it. McCallie earned the spot by wrestling great!) It will be fun to watch on Saturday and I am not ready to count out Baylor just yet.

Bond weighed in at 117 vs McCallie on Thursday night. It will be fun to watch!

Agreed 100%. Strong Region in 2023-24!

Region 6 with Brentwood, Nolensville, Ravenwood and Summitt down the stretch will continue to be fun to watch.

Are they in the process of appealing the schools decision or are they already gone?

Summitt 34 Nolensville 33

Wow, @BobCorker. "Few years ago," and "several of their guys,." What year and weights?

Over the years of Baylor taking out of state transfers, have they wrestled for Team Tennessee in the off-season? I know some of the wrestlers were only there between 1-4 seasons depending on what gap needed to be filled on the roster, so there was not necessarily loyalty for the State of Tennessee in some situations, which makes sense.

Will you soon be posting a screenshot of a text sent from Knox that says, “Rex, you still up?”
