Hey Everyone We are hosting a girls tournament this Saturday at Centennial. Girls will weigh in at 11:30 and start after the boys tournament finishes up around 1pm. As of now we have about 50 girls signed up and want to try and add about 30 more. If you are interested let me know Thanks Coach Pelkey Centennial High philipp@wcs.edu

Missing a few I think between Rossview and Father Ryan Here are the 8 teams Beech Blackman Centennial Father Ryan Northwest Rossview Stewarts Creek West Creek We really wish we could have added a few more teams but due to our gym restrictions this is about all we can do.

Hey Everyone Due to a cancelation of a tournament we were set to go to we are trying to do an 8 man invite. We are keeping it small so we give our wrestlers the best chance to be able to wrestle that day. So far we have the following teams coming. If you are interested email me and let me know. We would like to get 2 more teams with full line ups to fill it out. Should be a tough little tournament. Beech Blackman Centennial Northwest Summit West Creek. Thanks Coach Pelkey Centennial Wrestling philipp@wcs.edu

The tournament I was going to send my JV on Dec 5th is no longer happening. I am thinking about trying to do a jv night of wrestling on Friday Dec 4th . We would weigh in close to 4 and start wrestling by 5:30. I am hoping to have 3 mats and just make 4 man round robins to just get the wrestlers some matches. If you are interested let me know. I will try to keep it around 120 wrestlers so we can get through the matches and get out at a good time for Saturdays wrestling. Thanks Coach Pelkey Centennial Wrestling philipp@wcs.edu

Hey Everyone, I thought it would be easy to have a thread on here that we can look for dates for the season. I know two tournaments we are scheduled to wrestle in have been downsized by half of the teams. I am sure we are going to see more tournaments either canceled or limited on teams. We have already seen other sports losing games because of cancellations and not being able to find a replacement (happened at my school for football, volleyball and soccer ) If anyone decides to start a tournament or needs to fill a date with a dual or whatever post it here and we can try to help each other out. Lets all work together to try and ensure we have as close to a normal season as possible Thanks and best of luck to everyone as we get started. Coach Pelkey Centennial Wrestling

Go to tssaa.org and search job opportunities. Wrestling will be about half way down and I believe there are 4 or 5 openings posted there.

we still have a coaches meeting to make sure everything is ok and that something isnt out of whack but it seems to do a good job. Id say we are somewhere around 85 % or so of track seeding the top 4 that make it to states

We let track seed our regional meeting and it is pretty good at getting the top guys in the right spot

Yeah I dont know when or how they did the seeding but I thought they did a good of talking about some good potential matches and all that good stuff.

Here is a great site with some predictions and insite on each weight class for this weekend. http://www.southeastwrestling.com/tennessee-1

I got to say I probably saw 4 or 5 kids cutting after weigh ins this weekend and I never once thought of going and getting an official to turn them in.

We had this rule a couple years back and then voted it away and for some reason voted it back last year. I m not a fan of the rule and agree that it seems that teams that have more kids wrestling those extra matches are grabbing extra points. Example we had 7 finalist (5 champs and 2 runner ups) and 1 4th place but came in 2nd in points to Brentwood that had 2 champs 1 runner up and 4th 4th place finishes. At the end of the day it is what it is team point wise but I ll take the 7 finalist of the team title.

Because people want to complain about everything. So a team that finished 4th is overrated while some teams that went 1-2 overachieved. I am not sure of the logic on that but oh well. You guys got 4th so you must have done something right.

Hey Coaches We have an open date for Jan 21st and wanted to see if anyone is interested in coming to Centennial for a dual. We can get in a decent amount of jv matches in as well. If you are interested send me and email and we can confirm everything philipp@wcs.edu Thanks Coach Pelkey Centennial Wrestling

Possibly see 2. Cooper Palmieri (Northwest) Vs Jacob Knight from Cent . They wrestled last night with Palmieri winning 6-5. Good match back and forth

We really made a decision a couple years ago to do away with quads and focus on double duals. Everyone is happy because they get out about 1.5 hours earlier and we end up getting more people in the stands which is always great for the sport. Our district has done a pretty good job at teaming up for double duals. I think this will be the third year in a row that us and Brentwood have been involved and we have done the same with Indy a few times. Centennial and Brentwood will be at 4 tournaments together before we wrestle our district match in Jan so there is a great chance we see each other before than. We are going to try and get it on track. We also have a decent size gym and welcome all the wrestling fans to come out and watch it. Great way to start off the season and Thanksgiving break.

Its actually a double dual so Centennial and Brentwood will wrestle Clarksville and James Clemens (Alabama). Centennial and Brentwood will wrestle each other mid January.

Our district has done it for basketball and football so I just asked if we could spotlight our sport and the new county AD was 100% behind it so hopefully it will be the 1st one and continue for years to come.

In an effort to help promote and spotlight our sport we will be hosting a wrestling media day on November 11th at 6:30 pm at Centennial's performance art building. Our county does this every year for football and basketball and we got them on board to do one for wrestling this year. All teams from Williamson County Schools will be present. We are excited to let our athletes have a little bit of time to talk about themselves, their teams and their love for the sport. Thanks and maybe see some of you there.

Im looking for another team that would be interested in wrestling Centennial and Brentwood in a double dual on Nov 26th. If you are interested email me philipp@wcs.edu Thanks

Thanks Coach I really appreciate it. Looking forward to coming down there in June and getting some great match ups.

Thanks I appreciate it. Our goal is to just get them on the mat give them as many matches as possible and then hit the road. I instantly left and drove to the lake so it was perfect timing. Thanks a lot for coming I appreciate it. Good luck to your son this upcoming season
