Ok, so Roddy was 119 and Duguay was 125, Roddy made state didn't he.

I was thinking of Duguay, thats right, thanks.

He is a freshman.

I thought roddy was 125 last year, if he wasn't, who was for kingston, because I remember talking to kingstons 125.

He was 125 last year rthough right???

Lively is not 135 he was last year, now he serves our country in the armed forces with his brother, Dailey GB also graduated I believe, at least I haven't seen him or heard about him this year. Roddy was 125 last year so I doubt he is 112 this year, I believe he was 125 this year.

At 135, is Lively at Greenback, it must be a different one because the ones Iknew graduated last year. Also, Roddy is 125 or 30, he was 25 last year, and Daley from Greenback is gone also.

Alcoa

Is sluder in 8th grade or is that a different kid. Iknow its legal since GB is k-12. I had heard they had an 8th grader on the team but I wasn't sure who it was. Did GB 103 finish 4th at the Fendetti Brawls or was that someone else.

The 103 from Greenback was very impressive, as was their win over Farragut. Kingston was missing some critical classes. Is Roddy still hurt, I was hoping to see him wrestle.

Inexperience sums them up best. The team is extremely young. The program is in year 5, and I wrestled four of those. Only three wrestlers have wrestled all 4 years for Alcoa, me and the 2 thompson brothers. Logan is a fast improving wrestler. This is his 2nd year and I have worked with him on shots as our coach last year did not emphasize it. I did not get to see the match against Science Hill. They are young but they have aggression, I guess thats what it may take. I coach the AAU team for Alcoa on the middle school level, and I emphasize aggressivness, since that is the difference between high school level and college which I am now in. I am proud of them but they need polishing. Blackford has great potential, I did not see his match, do you know the score before he was pinned.

I figured it would be something like that. A quality wrestler like Usary would not risk his eligiblility or anything over something that silly. I wish they would have wrestled. Bo is a good wrestler, did he wrestle anyone from Alcoa that night.

No, they did not. Something about Bo was not on the Alpha sheet for weight certification so Blackford bumped up and I believe lost. I know nothing further about the speculations. I say wrestle and see what happens. Apparently SH may have had a few un certified, and Alcoa does too, they just didn't let theirs wrestle. This is just what I heard. Who knows.

Landon played football last year so I assu,e he played this year as well. That is the most likly reason.

I think you meant "Refereeing", gosh that doesn't look right either. Lets just say officiating. I agree they should be on top of the kids and stay close. Lets not insult the officials too much, they have a tough job, but it is their job to keep kids safe.

The question the wrestling coach is known for "Who are you, how much do you weigh, and when will you be at wrestling practice?". I have asked that many times when I was in high school. As a middle school AAU coach I encourage the kids to ask their friends that question. On Alcoas AAU team we have kids from 65 to 141 lbs, but that is it. They are all bunched up. I keep encouraging the kids to recruit.

Who is your 125, I think I remember him, if he is the same as last year. Is it Roddy, if so, I hate to hear that for him. He is a great guy. I sympathize with shoulder injuries, I am out for the rest of the season with a seperated shoulder most likly. At least it does not appear to need surgery. I hope your 125 heals quick and stays healthy, injuries are a pain during a season. Last year I wrestled the majority of the year with my ribs wrapped up due to bruising and fractures on the bone. Along with numerous knee/shoulder problems.

Does Pigeonforge have a full lineup, I don't know about this year but they did not last year, and I fiure that Catholic will have a full tough team. In the long run I think it will be Catholic winning over Seymour by a few. I just figured that Kingston would put up a great fight, I am sure they will. I did not know Kingston had so many forfeits, has it been like that every year.

Kingston and Seymour should be strong, Greenback I am not sure of, but I believe they are down from last year. Alcoa is rebuilding after losing numerous starters due to loss of interest. I look to see Kingston, Seymour, and Catholic battling it out for first this year.

I wrestled four years and had what I thought were tough opponents. Then I went to college. The few matches I have wrestled collegiatly were more intense than any opponent in four years. The intensity is a different level, and so are the skills. Feeder programs are the way to go. I now coach an AAU team that is just in its first phase. We are trying to build on basics so that the kids know the basics when they enter high school. Also, in TN the good wrestlers more than likly came from a middle school or even elementary school program. In college the wrestlers from MI, VA, and FL are more than most TN boys will ever see. I agree that it is our job to find tougher matches for our wrestlers and teams.

He was in the AAU program, I don't know how long. I heard about him last year and people said he was good. He seems to be a good technician from his feet. I believe Maryville is going to turn some heads this year. I am not sure about William Blount, and I have heard Farragut has been keeping there matches further away. I don't know that for a fact. They were late to turn in their schedule if I heard right, its like no one knew who they would face and where they would be. Karns kids had a decent showing at the Karns pre season if I remember correctly. Correct me if I am wrong, but Harless lost to the kid from South Doyle.

I figured that Sherbakoff weighed less. The ridenour kid seems to be tough, especially for a freshman. Maryville seems really talented this year. Does anyone know the results of the Kingston/Alcoa/South Doyle/Heritage matches. I heard that Geren lost but I don't what happened during the match.

Still, thats an impressive showing for a freshman, especially against a wrestler like sherbakoff. I guess by questionable you mean no control yet.

I'd like to know the results also. I believe Ridenour was to wrestle Sherbakoff, that should have been a good match.

Easy Rocket, what wrestling got to do with it. Alcoa06 is just someone causing trouble, he may not even play sports.
