That doesn’t sound like taking up for his wrestler. It sounds like crying at a call he didn’t like.
I watched it. It was absolutely the correct call.
Thanks for the response.
I respect your opinion, and did not see the call in question and was appreciative of feedback.

If Coach Knox was actually quoted saying that one of his wrestlers lost due to an official, will he be fined? I know that in college you get fined for complaining publicly about an official.
I do not know the answer, but it looks like he was taking up for one of his wrestlers, so I was curious about the call.
Allan Jones would happily write the check for that fine as they will add to the state championship trophy case again this year.

What happened at 160 with Fowler and McTorry?
2022 medalist Cy Fowler fought back from a loss in the semifinals and will go for a third-place medal against Clarkville's Jack Stein.
“He (Fowler) lost in the semifinals, to an official,” said Knox.

Spent five minutes on it, and will look more in depth this evening.
106:
Phillips (Baylor) vs. Cash (BA - dropped from 113) will be fun to watch in the semis.
Tran (Ryan) vs Ritchie (McCallie) rematch in the semis.
113:
Hardman (Boyd) upset Bond (Baylor) in the Regionals, so Bond and Lampert (Ryan) rematch from State Duals (OT) will be fun to watch in the semis.
120:
Calvin (Ryan) vs. Frazier (MBA) or Gumlick (Lakeway)
126:
Reep (Lakeway) or Gobbell (Ryan) vs. Ropski (CBHS)
132:
Roark (Ryan) vs. Helton (Lakeway)
138:
Askew (Baylor)
145:
The most fun weight class to watch in DII now that Tisdale (Baylor) has dropped and healthy. Eversole (Lakeway), Russ (MBA) and Deane (Ryan).
152:
Sturgill (MBA) vs. McGhee (MUS)
160:
Bronson (CBHS)
170:
Bates (Boyd), Oberlander (Ryan) vs. Bowers (CBHS)

Has anyone heard rumblings of LA talking to Scott Wells about joining the football staff and restarting the wrestling program?

Thanks WG. D2 rankings are interesting. I would move some of the guys around. The glaring one to me is the #3 HWT who didn’t win a match the entire weekend. He was pinned twice, one in regional and one in state. I venture to say it would have been 3 times had he faced the MBA HWT. I am waiting to see how regionals will pan out this weekend.
DII has not been updated since 1/27, so they have not made any changes to their rankings since then.

Any predictions on kids moving weight classes?
113: Ethan Lampert from Father Ryan wrestled Jacob Bond tough to OT, so could be another 113 to watch.
120: Hudson Frazier from MBA wrestling at 120?
126: Alex Ropski from CBHS wrestling at 126?
152: Hopefully Micah Tisdale from Baylor is back healthy and has a chance to compete.
182: If Jonathan Moore from MBA stays at 182, he will be a tough match for some guys over the next two weeks.
Anyone else?

And the Raiders are likely better next year.
The finals match at the Ag Center was fun to watch and the Cleveland/Bradley fans brought it strong!

Gotcha, I was wondering because I mean you can only have 1 per weight, and since Tran is prob standing at the top of the podium it doesn’t really matter what the JV guy does when wrestling varsity. There’s been many a times through the years when a JV guy at a school is caught behind an absolute stud and can’t go anywhere and has to wait his time. Let’s see how Marchetti does against the 2 and 3 guy(oh wait he got beat pretty badly by the Baylor kid) we all know that in A and D2 after the first few there are many weight classes where the others aren’t all that good.
…and as a back up, he left a Dual State Champion with the rest of the Father Ryan wrestling team.

I wanted to go ahead and get an updated set of rankings out before the state duals this weekend. This should take into account matches from the region duals (other than FR vs CBHS which hasn't happened yet). I also went ahead and added in some notes and commentary on results from the previous week's results where they may have factored into rankings. I am sure there will be plenty of movement following matches this weekend.
106
- Tanner Tran (9, FR)
- Axel Ritchie (9, McC)
- William (Oliver) Phillips (9, Bay)
- Luke Kibblebeck (8, Lake)
- Ignatius Smout (11, CBHS)
- Luke Brock (9, MBA)
Notes: JD Patton (10, CCS) appears to have shifted down into this weight but only took a forfeit at the weight. Leaving him at 113 until he gets some matches in. Luke Brock (9,MBA) beat Bentley Edwards (BB) and slides into the ranking on that win. Axel Ritchie (McC) pinned Kibblebeck (Lake).
113
- Jacob Bond (10, Bay)
- Nolen Hardman (9, BB)
- Cash Waymire (9, BA)
- JD Patton (10, CCS)
- Luke Johns (9, MBA)
- Brody Connell (9, McC)
Notes: JD Patton (10, CCS) may be dropping from this weight. Hardman (BB) pinned Johns (MBA)
120
- Joseph Calvin (11, FR)
- Hudson Frazier (10, MBA)
- Joseph (Tate) Williams (11, BB)
- Jed Pierce (9, McC)
- Cole Gumlick (10, Lake)
- Hudson Salvaggio (11, CBHS)
Notes: Hudson Frazier (10, MBA) moves down into the weight and picks up wins over Williams (BB) and Gumlick (Lake), 7-1 and 5-3 respectively. Williams (BB) pinned Gumlick (Lake). Gumlick (Lake) also dropped a 5-3 match to Jed Pierce (McC) who enters the rankings.
126
- Brody Gobbell (10, FR)
- Spencer Reep (11, Lake)
- Luke Braman (12, ND)
- Chase Hart (10, Bay)
- Matt Bryant (10, Good)
- Harbor Bent (9, BB)
Notes: Luke Braman (12, ND) moves down from 132, dropping a 13-6 match to Reep (Lake) and pinning Bellet (MBA). Hart (Bay) dropped a 5-2 match to Pierce (McC) in the dual at 126. Bryant (Good) won a few matches up at 132 and 138. Harbor Bent (9, BB) enters the rankings on strength of wins over Bellet (MBA) by fall and Jolly (CCS) 7-3.
132

Did Baylor not wrestle yesterday in East Region duals? Nothing on track.
Baylor wrestled McCallie on Friday night. Awesome match and atmosphere!
The “Day of Duals,” included a couple of small schools, and did not affect seeding.

152 - What Rutherford isn’t beating McGhee nor Tisdale. I actually think Tisdale beats McGhee this year.
145 - That weight could go a lot of different ways. Toughest weight for sure.
132 - Helton wins easily. Don’t think you will see Roark this year.
At 152, McGhee vs Tisdale will be one of the better matches in the State Tournament.If the above poster’s info about the Baylor 145 is true, then that opens up that weight class in the State Tournament.
Roark made his debut at 132 on Friday night against MBA and got a quick pin. His opponent on Track looks to be incorrect in the match results, so not sure who he actually wrestled.

As always Baylor is loaded at a number of their weights!

Quick note on father ryan, Casen Roark would be a difference maker for that team, but is battling an injury.
Summit and Cleveland looked like a one match swing. In another two months both teams may look one match different.
It was a great early season weekend of wrestling in Cleveland. Great venue, and spot for high school wrestling.
Bradley, Cleveland and Summit will be fun to watch all season! Some hammers in the lineup, and a lot of good matches heading into February.
As previously mentioned, Ryan will hope to get a few guys healthy. Casen Roark (State Champ), Sawyer Rutherford (3rd place) and Tim Brunet (4th place) in the State Tournament last year did not wrestle and unfortunately two injuries to starters this weekend. (The forfeits we’re previously mentioned) No excuses in this sport, it is next wrestler up, but also reality they will have to develop depth, and hope the guys are healthy soon. The scheduled is loaded.

What high school does Hilton wrestle in Tennessee? Thought he was in PA?
Paradice has yet to wrestle for a high school in Tennessee, correct?

Also,
Logan Paradice 18 at 132
Omary Alverez 13 at 170
This has to be a record or near a record of TN kids ranked.
If Baylor continues to take high school state champions from other states and 4-5 transfers from out of state each year, I would expect the, “Tennessee ranked wrestlers #,” to continue to increase too.
Did any of Baylor’s wrestlers represent the State of Tennessee this off season (other than Mason?) or did they all go back home and wrestle for the states that they were from?

TSSAA places entire Lipscomb Academy athletic program on probation due to social media post, school to appeal
in Division II
Posted · Edited by SportsTNFan

Based on the article, it looks like LA has self imposed sanctions and looking to appeal on Wednesday.
