189 FR md 4-8

 

Makes sense, thanks!!

So the team score is Father Ryan 12 Baylor 4? I am confused on your scoring update.

Any updates would be greatly appreciated.

Impressive win by the Irish. Why did Bateman not wrestle?

Yes.

I agree - what the heck?!?! No need to make apologies or excuses for Brandan. He is a student and player on BA's team. It's not like we are taking unfair advantage.

 

I think we would still be the top team in D2 without Brandan. However, we wold be hard pressed to compete on a national level without him.

Thanks USA1 for understanding my point. Very good team representing the state well around the Nation, but I didnt want Mr. Wright's accomplishments to be downplayed, because someone thought they would do the same without him. I hope they do well through out the season.

Jek, I could not agree more with your post about BA and their ability to play as a team. The other players on the team are carrying their load and all doing the little things to win, but don't tell yourself that BA would be were they are right now the topic of basketball conversation without Brandon Wright. I think without Wright BA would still be one of the teams to beat in Division II, but in my opinion they would not be on top in the state and winning the National games. Brandon Wright is the real deal in the state of Tennesse and BA would not be the team they are right now without him.

Father Ryan student section back in the day when they played MBA was pretty rough. "Mama's Boy Academy." There were numerous posters that had pretty rainbows on them saying Go MBA, and the chant "We have girls." They had a point guard that looked like Opie (sp) from the Andy Griffith show, and every time he touched the ball the crowd chanted "Opie, Opie, Opie" MBA used to chant back, "Thats okay thats alright you will work for us some day." Lots of their chants had to do with Ryan being Catholic alcoholics. It was all in good fun. I always enjoyed the basketball rivalry.

A big ref cheer although kind of dirty, so I do apologize, I did not make it up. "Hey ref get off your knees your blowing the game."

Congrats to Manson, it would be nice to see more Tennessee wrestlers in the rankings. We only have 1 guy out of 400 plus. Its a good goal for many of the top wrestlers in the state to win the state crown and get some National recognition. Good luck to everyone after the holidays.

RMC who is the earlier favorite to win the Tournament? Collins Hill and Hoover have tough teams if I am not mistaken?? Gives us some insight on how you think things might end up. Thanks a lot in advance.

I live out of town and I have not been able to read any articles, see any scores, or anything on the local message boards. It is unusual that I can not find a score of any of their matches thus far.

How they have started off the season or how the did this weekend at Helias? I have heard they are young and rebuilding this season like McCallie, but have not heard anything else on the Irish this season. Thanks for any info.

Is Father Ryan not participating in the event?

There was a school that was caught "recruiting" but I still think there should be a combined Individual State Championship. There are many public schools that have students that attened a school although they do not live in that area. The rules are easily broken in both divisions. Not to cause any type of argument back when Overton was competing at a high level they had a couple of wrestlers that lived by me and it was obvious they were attending Overton because they had a better chance to compete in wrestling with a better coach and program. It is tough to fault a wrestler or any student/athlete for wanting better just like many of the kids that go to a private school, because it give them a better opportunity than their neighborhood school does. Sorry back to the subject, combine the Individual Tournament.

Silverballs how did Brentwood Academy do?

It is definitely a tough loss for Whit and Father Ryan. Gripper does he really have to "learn to wrestle smarter?" I mean he has not lost a match in two years and will win another state championship and hopefully compete well in the Senior Nationals and bring home a title for the state of Tennessee.

Silverballs I do agree a pin in the last match would have won, but why are you on here trying to get things started. MBA did win by one point and thats that. Once again congratulations to MBA. I feel that both teams were rebuilding this year and had a great match for the region championship. Ryan has 10 new starters and I am sure that MBA has a lot of new faces out there too and good luck to them when they face off against McCallie. If you are a BA fan I dont know why you are trying to cause controversy, see if you can talk a couple BA wrestlers to ride with you to Clarksville and watch the State Duals from the stands as they do year in and year out. Good luck to all the D II teams fighting it out for the state duals. Make sure you stay healthy considering all the people fighting the flu, it should be a great weekend as usual!!

I do agree MBA has definitely dominated in football since Ryan's last state championship in 97'

Congrats to MBA for winning the Region this year I dont think anyone is taking that away from them and like you said Ryan gets the Silver Ball, but if I am not mistaken in wrestling they have 9 Gold Balls (Dual State Championships) and maybe has 0 Gold Balls? If thats what you were implying. No matter how good these teams are year in and year out it always seems to be a battle on the mat and ends up pretty close.

What do you mean MBA has beat Ryan at their best sport the last 10 years?? Do you mean that MBA has dominated the Irish in wrestling? Its obvious that MBA beat Ryan this year, but I dont think they have dominated in wrestling maybe in football, but not wrestling. I am not sure if you went to the basketball game once again this year and Ryan won by 25 or so I am not sure what you are saying Balls???

Soms are you a Baylor fan too? I always see your posts cheering for Franklin, and Smyrna I didnt know you were one of those guys that had tons of teams you cheered for!
