+ 106 -- Alex Whitworth -- McCallie -TH

If he did, well, what can I say, we were a close group. There was a lot of *that* going on. -TH

TD2, in no way am I trying to attack you here, but there is absolutely nothing true about your post. Well, except for Coach Reeve taking over a team that finished 14th in the country the year before. That was pretty much the work of UTC's only All-American in '83, Charlie Heard - 2nd place @ 118. And, 1983 was his last year of eligibility. That first year was tough. And, it was especially rough on those who wrestled for Coach Morgan. That's all I say about that. Speaking for myself, wrestling for Coach Reeve changed my life dramatically in every way. I started wrestling in 11th grade, in Georgia. Placed 3rd in state my senior year. I went to a year of junior college before my love for wrestling brought me to UTC as a walk-on in 1984. So, those are my credentials on the front end. Started wrestling in 11th grade in Georgia during the 1980s. At UTC, from day one meeting Coach Reeve, I began a college career that ended with me a 2x conference champion, 2x Div1 national qualifier, ranked top 25 going into my senior year in one publication, and a college degree. I saw this kind of change happen with most everyone who wrestled for him. If he had had more resources, sure, no telling what his teams would have accomplished at the national level. There are few more deserving to be in the TN Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame than Ethan Reeve. The man is special. -TH (russianbear's drill partner)

Love it! -TH

In committee meetings, it was decided to allocate 28 automatic bids for Tennessee, state champion and runner-up. Also, going forward, any state that has a qualified wrestler not competing who can no longer simply move up their next place finisher to fill the spot. That entry now becomes an at-large wildcard bid to be filled by the next best available wrestler (from any state) selected by the committee. So, for example, New England can no longer slide in a 7th place finisher at a weight class for their 6th place finisher who is not participating. That spot becomes an at-large bid. New England was receiving 6 automatic bids per weight class, but I believe that has now been reduced because of Tennessee's performance. Also, it looks like Louisiana may be getting into the National Preps soon. -TH

Would loved to had been there for Landers/Munoz. Had to be an exciting match. -TH

The twins from Russia, Borya & Ivan Tearanarhmov, just got cleared by the TSSAA. -TH

If anyone is planning to watch the match via live-stream, know that it is only being streamed through Bleachers. Bleachers is an on demand HD streaming service that McCallie began using this school year. We have requested open registration with Bleachers for the dual, and I've been told it's free. The current drawback is no commentary. As always, the other option is to come down and purchase a ticket. Match time is 5:00 pm in McCallie's Student Activities Center. Should be a fun time. Go Blue! -TH

For what it's worth, Trackwrestling wasn't used by the host school to run the Fandetti-Richardson Brawl online. Trackwrestling doesn't "follow" events, but they do list popular tournaments that are using the online tournament manager. -TH

^ Truth.

Well, by some it's called an "answered prayer" and rules be dam*ned. Not being flippant. There are beliefs that a young person's enrollment, in some schools, is a life-changing event. The belief is so great in the school's mission that no rules should ever be an obstacle to a young person's enrollment. Depends really on the circumstance. That alumnus could be the kid's grandparent. If so, no one should take issue, IMHO. Or, that alumnus could be the employer of the kid's mother or father. If so, .... . I have no idea how the TSSAA rules pertain to it. If a boss says, "Hey, here's an extra $20K on your annual salary for X school's tuition," how would the TSSAA ever know? Or, that alumnus could be a known booster, which case, I'm pretty sure there are rules sgainst it. Has an alumnus ever covered the tuition for an exceptional student-athlete? I'd wager yes. People with that kind of money are well versed in ways to hide a transfer of funds from the TSSAA. Then, it becomes only rumor. As for a more direct response to your post, if you had a wonderful, life-changing experience at X private school and you met a young person who you felt would benefit from and /or be an asset to the school you attended, and you had the financial ability to send that young person to your school, why should there be a rule to prevent it? The only answer for such a rule is because there are adults who want to win more than they want others to have the freedom/right to choose. My stance is for parental rights to choose (public over public, private over public, or public over private) where their children attend school. It's ludicrous that families in America today are bound to a certain school district simply because that may be the only district they can afford to live in. Medieval really. -TH

In general, anything a parent says, especially a father, should be taken with a "grain of salt." We are all guilty of inflating the story. The words financial aid quickly become scholarship among family, friends, etc. However that was communicated to the father, it's all based on what his family qualified for through the financial aid process. He completed financial aid forms and submitted those forms to the clearinghouse, and he identified which schools to release the results. The father knew exactly how much he qualified for through the process. If the school offered him 50% of the financial aid amount, he would have known. If so, I'm sure that angered him. One could easily become proudful at such moments. Who knows. -TH

From what I interpret, he's suggesting the Chattanooga area schools were more efficient/prodcutive in the matches they won. That doesn't equate to tournament points, per say, because tournament points also encompass total matches won. What he's saying, IMHO, is not a measurement of how good a team is at all. There are too many variables to consider. I don't know if the writer, Chandler Morrison, was a wrestler or not. I am happy though, to see the coverage of HS wrestling.

Okay, I know I shouldn't, but I'm going to wade in here First, I'm a public school product. WARNER ROBINS (GA) DEMONS, baby! Second, I was fortunate to secure a wonderful teaching/coaching position at a private school. Absolutely love it. I get to drive to work and home with my sons every day. I've taught both of them in the classroom, and I coach both of them in wrestling. Priceless. Let me say, there are absolutely no athletic scholarships in D2 TSSAA sports. If a family qualifies for financial aid, they might receive it. A private school does not have to give them financial aid equivalent to what a family qualifies. And, the private school cannot give the family more financial aid than what they qualify. Period. So, if you see a good 9th grade wrestler at a private school, you can surmise one of two things: (1) the family can afford full tuition -or- (2) the family has received financial aid at an equal or less than equal amount they qualified for through the financial aid process. Financial aid goes through the same clearinghouse process as financial aid does for colleges. I'm unfamiliar with work-study financial aid programs that some private schools offer. Are there any "smoke-and-mirror" antics that go on? Probably. People look for advantages, just like people look for advantages when they file their income taxes. That said, public schools have angles to work as well, like schools that offer specific programs, which can then be used as "official" reasons for school transfers between public schools. If winning state wrestling championships was my sole concern, I'd much rather be coaching in the public schools where the number of students available for athletic participation almost ensures a sport team the availability of potential stars. A big "tip of the hat" to coaching staffs at schools like Bradley Central, Beech, Blackman, Brentwood, Cleveland, Hixson, Pigeon Forge, Red Bank, Soddy Daisy, Summit, Tennessee, Wilson Central, etc. who excel at encouraging their students to take the risk, as well as their year-round support of youth wrestling. Bottom line, if parents want their sons or daughters attending a specific school, it's their choice. No matter whether it's going from public to private, public to public, or private to public. -TH
