Walkenvol- I'll say one thing for you. You're consistent. Kind of like Glen Close in "Fatal Attraction". You seem to have this obsession and even though Michael Douglas won't wrestle you, you can't let it go. It's a little scary. If a Bradley wrestler does win a state title this season, it is unlikely that he will lose any sleep trying to find a way to "stake a rightful claim" to anything. I'll bet he just hugs that gold medal and drifts off to sleep. The obsession with who is the best this or that seems to lie with fans like you. You try to pass it off as betterment of the sport, but it comes down to just wanting to see an event. AAA Football State champs vs. AA Champs....Ali vs. Tyson.....One on one basketball games to determine "Mr Basketball in Tn."...all fun ideas, but none going to happen. It's clear you will never agree with Bradleys' stand and I think that's ok. But gee-whiz man, let it go. Serenity now...serenity now...serenity now.

Mobee1, Well said. As a Bradley supporter, you must realize a few things that are just good old human nature. The first is that when you're working hard and earning some success for an extended period of time, you become a target who will be picked apart until something is exposed or misunderstood. It's more fun to cheer against a villain after all. The second is that some people will attempt to instigate an argument or draw others to their way of thinking. When you've finally heard enough and dare to defend yourself, you open yourself up to accusations of arrogance or being "thin-skinned". Kind of a no-win situation, don't you think?

Rabbit, just in case you forgot, they also wrestled a double overtime match in the State duals. Pretty far from a blowout that day. Knowing Steve Henry, I'm sure that he tried to teach you a little humility back in your day. Remember, all the confidence in the world doesn't change that it has to be settled on the mat, not here. Anything can happen. Just ask Jordan Leen, or Zac Dailey.

Don't have complete scores and results, but the Times, Free Press and the Cleveland Daily Banner will in the morning. 1. Bradley (won 9 of 12 contested matches vs. Collins Hills in Final...forfeited Baker at 135 in all four matches due to a rib injury.) 2. Collins Hills (defeated Cleveland 41-21 in their closest match in their pool) 3. Cleveland (defeated Franklin for 3rd) 4. Franklin (defeated Lassiter of Atlanta in pool comp.)
