You may be counting your chickens before they hatch!!!! I beleive there are going to be a few teams out there that will agree with me! Pretty cocky now lets just wait until season starts!!!

What a horrible loss!!! We will be praying for Jacob's family and friends! Our loss is heavens gain! Creekwood know that Dickson is praying for you and your wrestling team!!

I need any and all info. on any middle Tn. wrestling clinics and camps. Thanks!!!

Is the H'ville kid ok? I didn't see what happened, but I hate to see any kid get hurt. Hope he's alright!

Who do you think will be state qualifiers in each weight class? Really curious about region 7!

What teams looks good? Any predictions? What weight classes will have the toughest time? Just curious.

Dickson Co. has some tough matches coming up. They have Clarksville,Hendersonville, and Mont. Central. What do you think the outcome will be? Which matches should be the most exciting to watch? Just curious?

Personally I like Sammy Cribs and John Gannon.

Merry Christmas!! Should be some excellent wrestling the 2nd half of the season. If everyone can stay injury free!!!

1... I too was sitting on the edge of the mat and I personally saw with "my own eyes" Taylor (the Rossview wrestler) tapping out because he was unable to breath. As far as, Mitch (the Dickson wrestler) goes I think he is a very good wrestlers and if he believes he was bitten then I am inclined to believe him. IF you put the two stories together then there is no doubt a bite did occur but it was an unintentional bite. Yes this can happen... If Mitch crossed-faced Taylor while his mouth was open then that would place the arm unintentionally in the mouth... As strong as Mitch is then it is possible for him to exert enough pressure to cause the suffocation to make Taylor try and "tap out"... which in turn could cause an involuntary closing of the mouth to swallow and gasp for air. IF Taylor were going to bite Mitch then why would he "tap out" because I saw this with my own eyes? And it was not like Mitch was winning the match because he wasn't at that point it was tied 2-2 (if I remember correctly). 99% (and you know I am right on this) of all bites occur when a wrestler is frustrated and losing!! Taylor was neither frustrated or losing so it would have made absolutely no sense for him to bite Mitch in that situation... it is not like Taylor has not been in this situation before... he has been wrestling for 5+ years. So he knew he still had a chance in the match. 2... Now for the accusations that Coach Brown does NOT teach his kids good and proper behavior is absolutely absurd!! And for someone (godofwreslting) to insinuate or even suggest that he teaches or promotes bad behavior does NOT know him at all!! I personally know that teachers at his school will call him up to help them when a wrestler is acting up in their class. They do this because he does instill good behavior in his wrestlers. I have seen him line his kids up and run and run and run because they have done something wrong or even when they have not cleaned up their locker room. Also, Coach Brown has spent hours upon hours of his free time and thousands of thousands of his own money to help promote the progress of his team. Someone (godofwrestling) suggested that he should make his team become better wrestlers... he is!! What you seemed to have forgotten is 10 of Rossview's 14 wrestlers, at the tourney HAVE ONLY BEEN WRESTLING 2 complete years with 1 of them (Ryan Cavin) haven only wrestled 1 complete year. That is 11 wrestlers with 2 or less years of experience. These wrestlers did not come from his feeder program... like most of the Dickson Co. kids... in fact Jeremy Gonzalez the 103lber is his first feeder baby! So for these kids to even be competing... let alone hanging with a great team like Dickson Co. is a testimony to the hard work these kids have put in and to the level at which Coach Brown and his staff have trained them. Here is another fact only a few people know about Coach Brown... He has talked to Mr. Shepard (the father of Greg and Ryan Shepard) about allowing Ryan to travel with his team to all the national tournaments that they attend next season. Coach Brown has also extended the invitation to several of the Clarksville High School wrestlers, as well as, several other teams in the surrounding area. Coach Brown has done nothing but try and promote wrestling in the Clarksville and surrounding area! 1. I personally didn't see the tap out. (must have blinked or looked off for a second). 2. Weather the bite was intentional or not the marks were there. 3. Throwing headgear because you are frustrated is understandable but should be done behind the scene so it doesn't cost team points or make your team look bad. 4.as for be saying me (the coach) should teach his wrestlers better behavior I was wrong to say that I appologize! Emotions got the better of me. 5. Dickson is a very young team too. And as for feeder teams you are only allowed to participate in them through your 8th grade year. A lot of our wrestlers haven't been wrestling for that long. 6. as for the two coaches they both are very good at coaching and promoting wrestling in the middle tn. area. they both love this sport and their kids. no doubt about that. like i said earlier it is over and done with nothing can change that maybe all of this can be laid to rest. i really enjoy watching these two teams compete because i think they are evenly matched in talent and it makes for a good night of wrestling.

I am a proud Dickson parent and as for you saying that the Dickson parents were saying some "rude" things about your boys that goes two ways! I know I heard a lot of rude things said about our boys too. Reguardless of what everyone says Dickson still won the tournament and nothing will change that.I really hope that all this cools off between Dickson and Rossview because both teams are very talented and when they wrestler each other it is exciting to watch.

There was a bite in the Dickson Co. and Rossview match. Seen it with my own eyes and there were pictures taken. I was sitting right at the edge of the mat and I heard Mitch (the Dickson wrestler) say and I quote "ref he is biting me, ref he is biting me!" So maybe you need to get YOUR facts straight!! or yet get over it and quit crying about it! It is over and done with! And as for Tommy he is an outstanding coach and person! Maybe if Rossview were a better team it would not have come down to a bite call. Maybe the coach needs to work on his wrestlers behavior!!

You are right Tommy isn't like that! If anything Tommy will probally seed his team with toughest teams there. Dickson isn't a team you should look over! I give them a good chance of winning their tourney!

How do you think each team will finish?

What teams are planning on attending the Dickson Invatational this weekend? Good luck to all the teams!
