No. They may well be though, we'll know at the state tournament. Ryan was missing 3-4 starters against Summit. Summit may have been missing some too. Just pointing out the absurdity of pre tournament rankings. Makes for interesting board banter, but it will all shake out at state.

Has the date been set for next year?

Do McCallie, Bayor, etc not participate in this?

Same.

I am sure Derek will have some input on the kids program, not sure that it needs much of a ramping up though! That program has been plenty successful and appears to be poised to continue to do so. However, always open to your feedback on what you think we could do better... should be interesting. Probably important to keep in mind that the TWF's focus really isn't youth wrestling, it is spring and summer freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. They have chosen to leave the youth wrestling stewardship in TN to the TNAAU. Hey, just gathered he'd be involved since it is such a big part of his resume: Harrison devotes much of his time away from King to multiple northeast Tennessee youth wrestling programs as both a coach and administrator. He serves as the assistant coach for Team Tornado Wrestling Club College Division and is the head coach for Team Tornado Wrestling K-12 Division, both positions he has held since 2009. Between the two programs, Harrison works with boys ages 8-18 and teaches Freestyle, Greco, and Folkstyle wrestling. But glad to hear you think y'all are all squared away and don't need his help. More time to devote to getting the High School ready.

Congrats to Christian Brothers for getting their guy. He seems to be really involved with youth wrestling through the TWF, maybe he'll ramp up their kids program too.

What's the story here? Anything official? Have they narrowed down their national search at least?

Man, that Logan Whiteside must be some bad dude.

SCOTT WELLS … Brentwood Academy … 2x state champ; 1998-99 … ’98 OW … 4x cadet national champion at Fargo; 2x in Greco/Roman and 2x in Freestyle … undefeated two seasons in Tenn.

Two big wins for Chalifoux there.

Seriously? First two posts and this is what you bring? An easy fix for you, don't go. Personally, I think $10 a month is way cheap to take advantage of that room.

I seriously doubt Logan went 110 for any other reason than that is where he was. He went 104 at Philo.

Far from over.

Absolutely. Love to have him.

NCW club is for boys k-8 and sign up is November 30 @ 4:30 in the Father Ryan wrestling room. You do not have to be a member of the Catholic school system to participate on either the club or the middle school team. Please feel free to contact me with any questions

Nashville Catholic starts October 19. We won't know if we have enough wrestlers to fill a complete, or near complete, lineup until then. It would not be fair to you guys to commit and then find out a month later that we can only fill 7 weight classes. If we can field a team, and you still have openings, we'd be glad to attend.

From an article in the Tennessean today on Jashon Robertson. http://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/college/vols/2014/08/18/jashon-robertson-vols-freshman-starter/14256455/ "Wrestling works wonders," Robertson said. "I've seen guys on my team in high school who had a year or two of wrestling, and they came on the football field a totally different player. It helps with your balance, hands, just leverage, everything. It perfectly relates to football, especially the mental aspect of it. There's something about getting off your back — when somebody has you on your back — and being down in the fourth quarter that completely correlates, that mind-set you have to fight and get up." Add Robertson to hundreds of football players who have played in college and the pros that credit wrestling with helping them get there.
