It looks like the story was updated to correct the omission.  
 

I stand by what I said as far as only counting Tennessee guys. One of the wrestlers included clearly wrestled for the state of Georgia with a GA next to his listing in the bracket. I’m curious, does Georgia get to claim him as an All-American too? Which cadet dual team will he be on?

So we are counting non-Tennessee guys as representing Tennessee and omitting the highest finishing Tennessee guy that wrested in the senior division? Do better.

And... Tennessee Statewide HS Ranking just dropped!

Tennessee HS Statewide Rankings (02/14/2022) | Rokfin

Joey Terry from FR beat your #1 Mason Alley from Baylor 10-6 and was never challenged. Seems like very little effort was put into these rankings.

Well CBG and Ow, pretty sure NEItHER of you have a child wrestling right now so this should be ever so simple! It's either put up or shut up it's that simple, if you want to whine put together the perfect way of putting together the team including setting up places for wrestles offs and whatever else needs to be done, I am dang sure you two can put those huge brains together and get this done, so I say hey Mr Kramer you have your coaches for next year! So enough of the daddyball excuses for the two of you if you aren't really to make sacrifice of doing the coaching yourself, instead you two want to talk on here like a bunch of little teenage girls just like you supposedly talked to so many kids that weren't on the team but yet your phone still works!  Thinking the problem with TN wrestling is we have a bunch of whining little babies that when they don't get their way would rather cry instead of getting stuff done themselves! Again if  King Greene had a full time to get this done it would be on him, but if someone wanted to wrestle this all they had to do I am sure is call Coach Kramer and he could have told them who was putting the team together and I am pretty sure all the ones you two are whining about didn't make that call and I am pretty sure king Greene wouldn't have turned down some state champ s and such for his own kids if they had made themselves known to even be available! 

 

also CBG, someone doesn't have to have ever wrestled to be a good coach, I know two coaches back in the 70's and 80's that won state championships that never wrestled in their life they just spent the time learning how to coach the sport and coaching takes a special person, I never played soccer in my life, but my teams have done pretty well! 

I think you misunderstand a big part of why people have a problem with this. If you are trying to put together a true team Tennessee, then it should be a true team Tennessee. The wrestleoff idea was a great idea and fair but not feasible. If you want the best that you can get in TN you go through the results and reach out to coaches and wrestlers. They will come. I can remember about 15 to 20 yrs ago coach Henry put an incredible team together of the best wrestlers in TN and I’m pretty sure they walked through the best of PA, MI, IL and OH down at camp Jordan. I know for a fact that he didn’t put any preference on his own kids because it was a who’s who of TN wrestling. Keller, Ward, Blackmon, Yost, Simpson’s, Dunning’s, K James, Cordell, D McKnight, Q Gibson, hvy from Greeneville, etc. I watched that team and it was incredible. It was put together by inviting the best kids that would come....no preferences. Kids love to be a part of things like this.  This thing turned into a mess from the get go. 

BMBowers. The number 1 and 2 coaches. Name them.

That's funny. Smith is probably one of the top two. Bosken though?

The number 1 and 2 coaches in the state? Just curious.

What would you being in division 2 have to do with you hosting your tournament?

I'm not being critical.

I think you prove my point bump11. I'm not being critical. Just asking him not to put the DII rankings out. I like Hamm. And, bump11, I got three words for you. CASH ME OUTSIDE.

he does a great job with DI, but he does DII wrestlers a disservice by not getting any kids in the correct weights. (Many kids have been at the same weight all year). Im not complaining. Just stating a fact and requesting that he not do DII rankings.

Hamm, please don't publish anymore DII rankings. They are incredibly inaccurate.

The way I understand it Ryan and Bradley have worked out together before both state meets for a couple of years. The fellowship and camaraderie that you saw on Saturday night was probably a result of working out together and helping each other get ready for the big weekend. Both of these teams were underdogs going into the weekend and pulled it off.

I don't care who is on it but will celebrate the honorees whenever it is released. I wouldn't do the winners the disservice by releasing the information early.

I heard a few notes on who voted what but I thought this info had historically been kept under wraps until after state at least. No?

It always has been. Fargostrut=clueless.

Still a crock of ish. All American certificates are earned not calculated by an equation.

Should be treated as spam by the moderator and deleted.

This is a joke.

Who schedules youth wrestling tournaments Memorial Day weekend?

Where is Shane going?

Greco is boring.

Ryanwould have walked away with the tourney all together. The place potentially place top 3 at 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 182, 220, and 285. With other kids that would have had opportunities to place.

i never pay much attention to a fan of the sport that thinks the match of two teams is a duel.

Far more fitting than dual.

They voted not to split...Right? That is shocking.

Why would you be shocked? anytime there's vote to split to water things down they vote yes
