Wonder if Ryan will wrestle its top squad or hold some out to protect them for Friday's match with MBA? Just a thought.

My understanding is that 1 team from each of the 4 sections advances. Each section is composed of 2 regions ( section 1 = regions 1&2 and so on). Think that Section 3 (regions 5/6) teams are Page/FRA from Region 5 and MLK/East Literature from region 6. Anyone know how four qualifying teams will be seeded at Dual Championships in Clarksville?

Irish fans, I think you're dreaming. I don't have an affiliation with either Ryan or MBA. Think both schools have great programs. Just don't think Ryan matches up well against MBA this year. Pick some weight classes and do the math. Here's my fearless forecast. 103 - Francis (MBA) takes Rosa® 112 - Sutter (MBA) takes Griffith ® 119 - Simpson (MBA) takes Sloan ® 125 - Marchetti® over Bellet(MBA) 130 - Todd (MBA) over Weakley ® - Beat at Ryan Invit. 135 - Herron(MBA) over Benito® - beat at Ryan Invit. 140 - McKeithen (MBA) - Negri ® - Could go either way 145 - Bellet(MBA) over Miller® 152 - Hall (MBA) over Goodrum® - beat at Ryan Invit. 160 - Snyder (MBA) over Mix ® 171- Tate (MBA) over Hegarty ® 189 - Jacques (MBA) over Riley ® Could be diff if Bateman in for Ryan 215 - Dempsey ® over Swett (MBA) 275 - Riley(MBA) over Garrett® - beat at Ryan Invit. MBA should hold Ryan under 20 points without much trouble. It things fall MBA's way, it could be real embarrassing for Fr. Ryan.

Here's how you get 16 teams 10 - each of the regional winners 2 - region 6 and 10 runner-ups 4 - winners of the four matches between runner-ups (except for 6 &10) That should add up to 16 teams.

Notre Dame dominated Hixson last night 51-15 after beating East Ridge 48-20 on Wednesday. Hixson, East Ridge, McMinn Central and Notre Dame will meet next week in the Section 2 Duals(regions 3 & 4) with the winner advancing to the A/AA state dual meet in Clarksville on February 4th. Looks like ND is heading to the A/AA State Duals. 160- Patrick Fynn (ND) dec. Coleach Holmes 8-6 171- Matt Haydek (ND) dec. Alex Apyan 9-4 189- Eric Phipps (ND) dec. Alex Mitchell 12-9 215- Ian Meredith (ND) pinned Will Davis :54 Hwt- Brian Goode (Hix) pinned Evan Souther 2:20 103- Tee Boone (ND) pinned Cole Stephens 1:45 112- Mac Richmond (ND) dec. Trey Jones 4-1 119- Jay Adamson (ND) pinned Chad Marler 125- Mike Kulisek (ND) pinned Mitch Metier 1:59 130- Daniel Speichler (Hix) dec Gail Heider 7-4 135- Spike Rawn (ND) pinned Jeff Rahn 1:15 140- Ryan Burdette (ND) pinned J.J. Jarvis 2:50 145- Jon Mike Davis (ND) dec. Jerr Logan 6-0 152- Micheal Reed (Hix) won by forfeit

The new handbook (available online at TSSAA site) has no such requirement. My understanding is that the new weight certification guidelines replaced the old "half of your matches" rule. If you have been in compliance with new weight cert. program, you can wrestle at the region in whatever weight class you are elligible for, regardless of whether you have previously wrestled at that weight this season. At State you have to wrestle in the weight class in which you qualified at the regions. Let the rule experts confirm or correct my understanding.

Here's what was posted in Tennessean: Hendersonville 42, Franklin 35 103 - Yancey (H) forfeit 112 - Trelar (H) pin Bouchier :55 119 - Ortiz (F) dec. Diljedahn 21-3 125 - Townsen (H) forfeit 130 - Bundy (H) pin Zarbo 5:09 135 - Dobbs (H) pin Reyes 3:19 140 - Davis (F) dec. RIchey 8-1 145 - nothing reported but Henderson must have got 6 for score to add up 152 - Felix (F) dec. Perry 7-1 160 - Heacock (F) pin Fernando 1:23 171 - McPhee (F) pin Zadina 3:02 189 - Smith (H) pin Konz 1:32 215 - Cross (F) forfeit 275 - Cathey (F) pin Brown 3:13

Got the following from one of the team coaches. Teams: Fr. Ryan, FRA, MBA, Mt. Juliet, Smyrna, Tullahoma Weigh-ins 8:00 Wrestling begins @ 9:00 Round 1 - 9:00 Round 2 - 10:30 Round 3 - 12:00 Round 4 - 1:30 Round 5 - 3:00

According the Ryan and MBA websites, tournament starts at 10am. I also think Mt. Juliet rather than BA is participating.

Tennessean says Page won 45-35 but when I add up score I get 42-38. Either way Page wins. Looks like a pretty quick match. Only one decision entire match. 103- Obemyer B forfeit 0-6 112- Casada (P) pin 6-6 119- Dunning B by DQ 6-12 125- Pair (P) forfeit 12-12 130 - Creighton ( P) pin 18-12 135 - Mustin B decision 18-15 140- Searle B pin 18-21 145 - Holliman B forfeit 18-27 152 - Geasley (P) pin 24-27 160 - Brown B t.f. 24-32 171 - Jones B pin 24-38 189 - Brann (P) pin 30-38 215 - Parker (P) forfeit 36-38 275 - Winters (P) pin 42-38

FRA, Congratulations on a great race and season. Guys, show some class and limit the trash talk. Celebrate your victory, not your opponent's defeat.
