152 8-Ian McGehee (Memphis University School). ???

How do you leave Darius Williams (CBHS) 189, 2007 off, career 99-6?

Granite City Tournament has been called the Red Schmitt for years. Named after their legendary coach. I was lucky enough to meet him before he passed. Tough tournament. Nice showing.

I don't post much, last one for awhile. Not sure I understand your "legacy" picks. I know I look at what teams have guys returning from previous year, placers, etc. as the year progresses, results come in and things are adjusted, always fluid. You gotta beat someone to get attention. State or National level. That's how it works, at least for me. Just because a team qualifies for State Duals, that doesn't get that team ranked. Still, you gotta beat someone. No hating OW, I know your a Bros fan, at first some thought you were one of ours. We coaches put a lot of thought and effort into this vote, we take it seriously. Learned years ago you cannot win a discussion on this board. Good luck in Region 8. Introduce yourself when you get a chance. I've known y'all head coach for a long time...I am officially out.

OW, your mind would explode. I am one of the voters, we wrestled almost every team that is in the poll, either in a dual or a tournament. This is the only actual poll that coaches from all over the state vote, the only poll that isn't just someone sitting in their underwear at a computer screen making up a top 10 list. So, basically, it's the only poll that even kinda matters. All year, you pick at and complain. Enoiugh. We all spend time reviewing results weekly. Like one HOF'er once told me back in 2000 when I inquired to why we, CBHS, were not ranked (I wasn't a voter back then), Luther told me, "Beat someone." Chris Lewis CBHS Wrestling

Correcting a couple of mistakes, Christian Brothers is from Memphis, not Nashville, and the other, Trevor Brown defeated Story of Science Hill 13-5 in finals. Bradley, tough team, always fun to wrestle y'all, good luck the rest of the season, Miller, great tournament, always good competition.

Nick Marable, perhaps? Also, Michael Marable whipped Meredith in the finals of the GP West in 2004. Daniel Baucke 3x state champ, Fargo AA, Air Force Academy...

Congrats Nick! We are all proud of you!!!!

Soms, any idea on how to contact these men?

Anyone out there have a copy of the finals from 1980-1987. I am trying to archive and digitize old film of our programs history. Much has been lost over time. Anyone with video or contact ideas will be greatly appreciated. My email is clewis@cbhs.org Chris Lewis CBHS

Going on right now. 149 Alex Johnson (Navy - CBHS) 17, Mark Marchetti (Army - Father Ryan) 2. link http://www.campusinsiders.com/network/patriot_league/live

Btw, third placer in D2, Dallas Broughton, lost to Dooley 3-2 in semis of GP West, Reagan is a beast, but Palmore took Reagan down at GP West, they had to re wrestle about a minute plus because of a blown call and bad time, Palmore has also beaten Gaither 3x in last 2 years, Tidswell (4th in D2) has beaten Schrader, Blansitt and Musa. TD2, your arguments don't hold up. D1 v D2 would be fun, but it minimizes these young men's accomplishment. Both divisions have great wrestlers.

It has to do with financial aid v non financial aid. The private school in D1 do not give financial aid.

The officials are the ones who vote for OW. All are deserving, there are many that are deserving each year, these are the men that were chosen. Many years it has been given as a career award, not for the best tournament performance. Oliver and Debien were obvious choices and are both deserving and had great tournaments. You can debate the significance of quick pins v. Tech falls, etc, but don't take shots at kids that have no control over OW voting. All are accomplished and worthy. Oliver had an outstanding tournament and wrestled his style, Popp his, Connell his, etc. FYI, Nick Marable was never given the award, even after winning Fargo and defeating a multiple time state champion in the finals. He seems to have survived this snub and done ok. Chris Lewis CBHS

Five current Division 1 wrestlers (Baucke, Johnson, Johnson, Baker & Walthall) and a member of Team USA (Marable). Not bad from a school in a basketball town, Memphis, TN!

Christian Brother High School, Memphis, TN is looking for a Dual tournament on January 4, 2014. Please contact if you have anything available and are interested in issuing an invitation. Thanks, Chris Lewis clewis@cbhs.org

Marable was a Cadet National Freestyle champion in 2003. Not Greco. Thanks Wrestling USA All American from 1968.

Congratulations to all the guys the competed this week at Nationals:! Murphy, Debien, Beki, Evans, Solomon, Chalifoux, Fisher, Eckhart, Simpson, Oliver & Wittman. You guys stepped out on the big stage, made the commitment to train and represented you state well. Coaches Hatcher, Phillips, Koballa and Baucke, thanks for all the time you put in with the guys and the sacrifices you make for TN wrestling. Personally, I want to thank the coaches for their advice, coaching our guys, tips and laughs. Future is bright, most AA'a ever, but we can do better. Chris Lewis CBHS

Congrats Mike and Karen! Great people indeed.
