good post. sanctioned or not, everyone who cares to know who won a weight class or team championship....knows. The TSSAA held the tournament and if it has an official seal of sanctioned should not really matter at this time in the growth of the girls wrestling in Tenn.
True, true. If I were one of the girls who won State last year, and was on the first championship team two years ago, I would be filling every college application with that information. I know at least one who has. That is big time achievement for college recruiters. Girls, and parents, should be thinking about the advantages they have in separating themselves from the rest of the pool of applicants to colleges.
Two years ago this board was filled with criticism of girls wrestling boys, and the insightful coaches and girls took the lead in getting the movement going to include a division where girls could learn the discipline, respect and richness derived from high shcool team wrestling. It has been a huge step forward.
