Well said,Youthcoach. I agree. By the way, I've enjoyed watching Blake wrestle. Tough!

Youthcoach, The ref's a cheater and/or an idiot? Football just ended? An injury to his arm? I have absolutely no horse in this race, but Wow! You are the epitome of the biased fan/family member or whatever. Just pitiful that you have an excuse ready for every Loss. I can only assume that a competitor like Blake will be embarrassed if he reads this. Do you have the same list of excuses for every guy that Blake has whipped through his career? I wonder if all of them had an injury or a horrible ref to blame also.

This is Too Good! It's great that now the D2 schools have to deal with this guy and his arrogant bias and constant unnecessary defending of Cleveland's program! Welcome !!

For me, the best part of the season will come when mr.wests son graduates.Then, when next year comes around, everyone won't have to endure dad's endless babbling and bragging.. There have been hundreds of Very successful wrestlers as well as many successful programs in Tn wrestling history. Yet most parents knows when to just humbly enjoy it and let OTHERS praise your son or program publicly..Some people just can't handle success with style.

You are SO Easy to manipulate...SO predictable!

And..Knowing Coach Yost, his low key manner and respect for Coach Phillips, I doubt he would publicly comment, even if he was bothered by it.

Oh!.. I knew for a Fact that he was VERY HIGH on the list to take over for Coach Henry at his alma mater, where he would have actually been recognized as the Head Coach. Do you think he realized that he would temporarily be a Puppet at Cleveland, just to keep him away from Soddy until the Raiders actually needed him? I mean, maybe he did. Maybe he enjoys looking at Phillips back during these dual meets.

No, not really like Coach Jackson, or Coach Henry. They each moved on to their new positions and allowed the new Coach to assume full leadership of the Wrestling team. While Coach Phillips is the A.D., he also wants to remain the Alpha Male on the CHS Coaching staff. Don't listen to me. Just go to any Big event and watch.

Mat, you nailed it..The only thing that may escape you is that his posts, while masked as Blue Raider Biased, generally are intended to make excuses for, or draw attention to his son. One of the worst Stage dad's I've seen on here in a long time. Hey, the kid deserves some praise,..but let someone else do it, dad.

...yeah, and I've never seen some tough guy get on here and resort to name-calling because someone happens to not feel the need to use his real name on a message board. You're like a more aggressive and vulgar version of Soms! Get over yourself..

Easy, Dave Thomas! . . Sometimes revealing your real name can cause everyone to get a cravin for a Single with cheese and a large Frosty!

"What happened earlier in the season really doesn't matter"??? I'm a Public school supporter and fully appreciate what Cleveland accomplished this weekend and all season long. But let's face it, they had not one, but TWO chances this season to defeat The Bro's and couldn't quite get it done. Give them their credit and stop insinuating a hypothetical victory if only you had a 3rd chance. Geez.

Really? You've never heard this discussion/debate before? Like 2-3 times every year for the last 15 years or so. Literally tens of thousands of posts over this exact topic? I don't think there has been a single new or original idea on this debate in over a decade, just recycled banter with neither side ever giving an inch.

It's not often that you'll see the thumpin in the State Finals that is about to take place. I know Cleveland won some Small school Duals titles 20 years ago or so, but have they ever won the Big one? Because they're about to!
