PUMMELKING

Yuk soon as State is over Folk should be over. Get all wrestlers to enhance there skills and weapons.

The next step should get the Tourny back on a Campus that actually has College Wrestling. Let the Tournament show case what Wrestling leads to not a Rodeo Barn..

Absolutely. Folkstyle should be ILLEGAL after the state tourney until next season Oct. Change things up rules n styles to prevent burnout and get opportunity to face different competitors in state, Regions and Nationally.

I think should be odd number weight classes like 13 harder for thing end in ties. Team Scoring would put more emphasis on wrestling and winning if points were: Pin--6 Tech w/NF--5 Tech no NF--4 Major--3 Decision--2 FF--1 Point No big point swing for not wrestling. If team weighs a wrestler in for a weight but chooses to FF not wrestle. They have to ff that weight and next dual after. Penalty for making weight but coach hold out. Have this all way thru state duals. Require alot more coach strategy if they choose to forfeit weight classes. Fan friendly they pay to see competition not hands raised for just walking onto the mat.

The real need and push is for ALL schools to push get approved for TMSAA Teams. The teams regulated by the schools and have parents to push for this to happen. Then you have youth programs feeding into feeder schools Middle Schools to the High Schools.

Can anyone post Tournaments that are available for Dec 6/7, Dec 20/21, Dec 27/28, Jan 4, Jan 10/11, Jan 25. One or two day events. I am looking for Boys tournaments and Girls, would be great if it had both in same place. Thanks for any info.

So these Quality Coaches are going to deprive their kids the opportunities to become All-Americans at the Worlds Largest and Toughest Tournament?????? They do not wrestle and support Tn then the Coaches are the ones who are not supporting the system and state not the Kids.

Not Daddy Wrestling that is for Coaches. State Chairman or Leader needs be person who has a reason to be in the position to make things better. And willbe around for the longrun.

Needs to a person that has a young child. That way will be around for a while and wants to see things done to benefit kids.

What school what teaching?

Congrats to Isabella Badon Tn And Southeast Regional Tricia Saunders Excellence winner hope n good luck for overall.

All that needs to be presented is an Actual breakdown of Cost. Expense for trip. Entry fee,team gear(what they get) travel, lodging dorm which covers meals or hotel which requires meals to be purchased. If not dorms then more gas is Required to eat and going back n forth daily.

Not sure but possibly a guess HS kida have buy a AAU card for one day usage?????

Its not just about funds. True Booster Clubs do the Financial Support but there are things not seen by public.

It has been postponed due loss of venue. Should have never scheduled duals anyway as first event.

You have to be crazy you think all sports are treated the same. Especially if a AD is also a coach of a Sport. That is just ridiculous.

I will agree with the Principle but AD has been in place too long. Need new blue blood and ideas to liven things up.

Get new AD. Dont let sumone play favorite with the Athletics. Treat all kids n teams the same.

Yes you would think. But when they are only there half time, it appears thinds definitely are not that way. Just clean house at top dowb. New AD, NEW COACHES.

Need to get a Full time AD. One who supports the Coaches.

I thought the Savior had come back to rule the world.

Ga can send that many because its supported by the State. They don't compete with AAU. Take out all the AAU tournaments and if they were run or sanctioned by USA you could have more numbers here. I have been in both states and seen things run better n also worse. I am not on the board, but if you have all the Reasons why do you not run for State Chair. You want AAU to take over, what do they have to offer the advancement of Wrestling for Coaches, Athletes or Officials beyond HS, Nothing. No International support, so the kids that happen to make International teams are all USA.

GA is able to do so much because they are Controlled by USA. Their folkstyle is run by Team GA, not AAU. They dominate the state, where here in AAU has made all the money and run Kids programs. Cost for Fargo is expensive, but other states like Ga, require them to attend team camp. Kids can referee and get their price offset here in Tn just like they do in Ga.

Rabbit, This Saturday is the date for Tour of America Southern Grind hosted by USA Wrestling in Cartersville.
