Most AAU tournaments have a MS division... look at the schedule on tnyouthwrestling.com however not all flyers are posted at this time.

That is not even the thought, Its about getting these JV.. back up guys more matches at a little higher level. These kids may otherwise never see or know what their true potential is because without the opportunity for them to wrestle they may quit our great sport. I think any and every opportunity for a JV, FR, or any wrestler to get a match is key to keeping them around the sport and hungry to achieve more. We must create as many chances to get mat time for these young men as possible.. after all many times they are the reason the VARSITY kids win... they push them in the room. Whether the name of the tournament is JV STATE or JV invitational or whatever... that is irrelevant.

Is this a MidTenn tournament?? Location set yet??

scroll down on the results.. Boatman lost in quarters and lost in conso quarters.. I have seen him wrestle a few times this summer and him getting pinned twice in a tournament tells me he must have been injured... or that bracket was very tough.

David Taylor and Quentin Wright had a competition schedule conflict.. So here are the details. All are welcome. We have approx 45 kids already to go. Would like to get that to 60 by Thursday.. Matt Brown and Ed Ruth along with Asst. Coach Casey Cunningham @ Bearden High School Bearden High School is located at 8352 Kingston Pike, Knoxville The camp sessions are as follows: Thursday, check-in - 9:00 to 9:45 am (arrive early to ensure you get the t-shirt size you want) Session 1 - 10:00 am to 1:00 pm Lunch (on your own) from 1:00 to 2:00 pm (you may bring your own lunch or there are restaurants within walking distance) Session 2 - 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm Everyone MUST email Coach Jones to receive an invoice for the $95.00 fee.

Put a name with the Face, We will talk about "life lessons" another day. As for improvements--- Already working on that. Coach Ben Jones coachjonestrained@gmail.com 865 368 4459

I do not know exactly how this works. I have not personally ever had to cancel a tournament so I apologize. When you have 20 wrestlers registered you cannot exactly run a competitive tournament, REASON WHY I CANCELLED. I have told track i would like to refund the money, however as stated above i do not know their process. If they just send me the check anyway, I will be writing checks out to each entry. Otherwise, It will be put back on the card you used to register.. Not Sure. I will update once i have more info.

Weigh-ins will be from 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm on Friday. We will begin wrestling at 6:00 pm on Friday. The first day will consist of the first round of 32 and the championship round of 16, as well as the first and second round of consolations. Saturday weigh-ins will be at 8:00 am and we will begin wrestling at 9:30 am. We will run all the finals together on 3 mats and give all awards after the finals. Finals will start around 4:00 pm. We will give great team awards to the Top 4 teams and medals to the Top 6 individual winners. We will also have two OW awards – one for upper weights and one for the lower weights. The entry fee for the tournament will be $175.00 this year. Please let me know of your interest as soon as possible so I can send you a contract to guarantee your spot in the tournament!

Bump....April 15th is cutoff for registration.........

bump.....

So.. once again im no enlish major.. typo's are expected lol.. happy reading...sorry in advance for the babbling. Im not going into all the details.. but that is not the 100% Truth. I grew up in VA.... We have had 3 states, plus Private Schools for many many years. I would still pair up some of the A schools verse the AAA schools in VA and you get good match ups. Next year they (heard through the grape vine) are going to 6 state wrestling divisions in VA. .... Looking at this division, If we step up as coaches and do our job we will build up this sport. Pigeon Forge and few small schools are the rarity. So overall, I think the split is going to build up the overall population Think about this.. You speak of the Youth teams at Soddy. They have for many years seen some great wrestlers come out of their room! Same with Cleveland Now! Step back.. now you give a small team that starts producing at a high level, all be it that it is small school state.. a state champion is a state champion. That young kid or kids in the youth program for that small school are now seeing and hearing about CHAMPIONS.. from their high school program. What wonders that can do for that youth to say I got to high five that stamp champ during my youth practice!! Im not a great computer debater (lol) an I highly doubt i will repost all the points that many will point out.. Im just saying... If we do our part as an ambassdor to the sport of wrestling we can build this up to be great!!! With all things, It takes time and dedication. Lastly, the point of one true champion etc has been made many times over.. In VA, 1999 was the first year we introduced the A-AA vs. AAA duals... they would take the State Champ from each weight class and invite them to participate.. and if they declined you went down the line 2, 3, 4th, etc to try and match up the best vs. best and make a great event out of it.... It has grown over the years and been a great sucess.. It also allows college coaches to come and scout these kids that maybe were the surprise at state and placed or stepped up and won state! Just saying, something of a showcase would be great... Either way you look at it.... "THE CREAM WILL ALWAYS RISE TO THE TOP"... good luck with the great debate. Hope TN wrestling steps up, embraces the changes and we build.

BUMP....
