Since I coached him in middle school, I came to watch Broyles at the MTSU inter-squad dual last night. First off, he is huge! They still haven't decided whether he will be at 57 or 65 this year but he made 62 for a catch weight match with former TN high school stud, Nick Patton. It was a solid match and both guys look good. Final score was 6-3 in Patton's favor, I believe. Broyles snuck a super duck in there late. The stalling rules in college make it really hard to determine what is or isn't stalling. Anyway, just an update on that. How is Begley doing at WVU? I can not wait to see him on the next level. I've been watching him since his middle school days at Ross Robinson. I remember watching Dean wrestle in middle school too! Does anyone know if English went on to wrestle anywhere? I remember watching he and Grif go at it in the MS GIT finals back in the day. This was a great senior class and it really is fun for me to get to see these guys go on to the next level.

Palmer Begley-West Virginia Griffyn Broyles-MTSU

A little region 1-District 2 news most people dont know: Morristown Wests new head coach, Joe Kemerer, is a 2x NCAA D2 National Champion and University Greco World Team member. Bryson Hux makes a move to Greenville. Griffyn Broyles is set to wrestle for MTSU and competed for Team Tennessee.

JD Lewis will win the 170 bracket. Kid is a stud. crazy to see him as a 5 seed!

Good list! I agree with every bit of it! This tournament will be won in the consolation brackets. TN high has the possibility of having 5 champs!

Seeding for regionals?

No sadly Davis at 220 is the only other wrestler from I see making the trip to the cow palace. Maybe next year!

Broyles will be in the finals and probably win at 52.. Ruth beating Townsend isn't out of the question but either way the match will be close. I'm really not sure about English and Lathem. Hux and yother are outstanding. You have to be kidding.

DB will have several make the finals just like THS, JC, and the hill will as well. There are only 2 kids I have picked to win that aren't from any of those 4 schools.--Bynum from Crockett and Broyles from MoWest.

i feel like it will come down to who has the best weekend. Dobyns Bennett is a very strong dual team. I feel like your vikings, the hill, and Jeff co all have great tournament teams. I love how tightly contested the region becomes every year! It will be fun to watch it continue to grow.

Since the regional tournament is coming up very shortly I'm going to make my picks for the champions and how I think the top 4 teams will shake out. 106-Rodney Nelson-Tennessee High 113-Zach Bynum-David Crockett 120-Jose Blanco-Jefferson County 126-Bryson Hux-Jefferson County 132-Corbin Hurley-Tennessee High 138-Pendley/Carpentre will be great. Tough pick-THS/VOL 145-Bryson Henley-Tennessee High 152-Griffen Broyles-Morristown West 160-Joseph Begley-Dobyns Bennett 170-Dean/Rolston is a tough pick for me-DB/SH 182-Nguyen unless English drops.-SH/JC 195-Hunter Bagley-Science Hill 220-Michael Foster-Dobyns Bennett 285-Logan Townsend-Jefferson County I believe the top 4 in the team race will wind up with 1.Jefferson County 2.Tennessee High 3. Science Hill 4. Dobyns Bennett. It wouldn't surprise me to see any of those 4 teams win in any order. They're all very close in talent this season.

Dobyns Bennett beat the hill??

Who will be at region duals?

Not sure myself. I would be surprised of Lathem beat English in a wrestle off. Maybe English is injured?

After looking on track it looked like a fantastic weekend for our region! Congrats to Science Hill on their dominant performance and it sounds like they made some great memories while doing so. I put together a list of all of the AAA region 1 placers from this weekend. Great job boys!

Seemed like region 1 was pretty busy this weekend. Any results?

i figured that is what they planned. Sometimes they just don't end up happening its tough to ask someone to lose 10 lbs and still wrestle to the same level. On the other hand when I've seen English wrestle at 95 he gasses quickly. Maybe it would work in his favor?

Any idea when seeds will be released for this? Also maybe try contacting Morristown East?

English weighed in at 194?? Wow. To be honest he looked a little small for the weight. I figured he was around 190-88 and planned to make the decent. Regardless he should make the finals wherever he goes. I personally feel like Jeff Co. Has a better shot at the team title with Hills at 220 Lathem at 195 and English at 182. But hey I'm not the coach nor the athelete.

106-Nelson(TN) vs Williams(SH) 113-Bynum(DC) vs Burns(JC) 120-Myers(CC) vs Blanco(JC) 126-Hux(JC) vs Yother(SH) 132-Hurley(TN) vs Collins(JC) 138-Pendley(TN) vs Harerr(DB) or Porter(ME) 145-Henley(TN) vs Jeffers(DB), Harville(JC) or Austin(SH) 152-Broyles(MW) vs Jeffers(DB) 160-Begley(DB) vs Jessee(SH) or Spangler(TN) 170-Dean(DB) vs Rolston(SH) 182-Nguyen(SH) vs English(JC) 195-Bagley(SH) vs Hall(BOONE) 220-Foster(DB) vs Davis(MW) 285-Townsend(JC) vs Ruth(DB) or Hess(MW) My best guess guys! I'd love to hear comments on my list or see other poster's lists! I love this time of year! 106:I believe this will be a great match! Williams has really stepped up this year! Very tough kid. 113: Bynum has his hands full with Burns. Very interesting bout. 120:If Blanco winds up wrestling I feel like he is a lock over Myers. 126:Hux should pick up the title. Yother will pose problems for him him, however. 132:Hurley. Everyone knows he's a lock but Collins is tough and can stay in those tight matches. 138:Pendley should major in the finals no matter if it's against Porter or Harerr. 145:Toughest weight in the region. Henley has the edge after winning the title last year but I think its honestly anyone's bracket to win. 152:Broyles and Jeffers could be a good match. Im not sure if Jeffers can withstand Broyles offense and gas tank. 160:Begley. I'm not sure if anyone can stop him at this point very solid. On the otherhand I think Jessee(who I honestly think is a lock for the finals) should be able to keep it close with the right game plan. He definitely has the coaching staff for that.170:I say Dean wins it at this very moment but do not count Rolston out. If there is a "Best Match" award at regions this will win it. 182:English has wins over Begley and the older Spangler. This kid can wrestle! I have him beating Nguyen on a minor dec. 195:Bagley will win no matter who steps in his way. 220:Foster should pin his way to the title here. 285:Probably Towndsend vs Ruth again but Hess can hang with either of them. Excited to watch this weight. Tell me what you guys think!

Not many people know who Whitelaw is but if he comes back they will quickly realize he is no joke. Townsend and Whitelaw will be a nice style contrast and I'd love to see it! Oh and I hope he gets better soon too! ha-ha!

Will English see Bagley at 195 tonight? Should be a nice test for both guys if English hasnt dropped yet.

As of right now they aren't even sure if he's going to be the guy in Feb. with the possibility of Whitelaw coming in at 285.

Sadly, the word going around is that he is done.

Did not get to attend the Indian Classic this season... WHICH REALLY SUCKS! I always like to go watch some of the top competition there. My work schedule has been more than intense lately. I did look at the brackets and noticed my Mowest team got beat up a little bit. By no means is that what our team will look like in Feb. I didn't even recognize the majority of the names in the brackets. It looked like they had alot of their better guys out. I haven't been able to talk to anyone on the coaching staff about why they had so many out but I noticed Broyles was out for whatever reason. The last time I saw him wrestle was against Begely at West and he wrestled very very well. He was actually controlling the tempo of the match before he took a shot from the outside late in the second period. Whitelaw is hurt again. Didn't even get hydrated. I believe they are going to wait and see how bad it is. He may very well get the hydration test done and come back at 285. As of right now West has solid kids that you probably havent seen much of. Barnes who will be at 160 after Christmas is a big one. Really solid wrestler and the sky is the limit with him. Injuries have held him back this season a little bit as well. Davis at 220 is looking really good this year. From what the brackets read it looked he ran into some studs at the Indian Classic. He will probably make it to state this year and see Foster from DB in the Region finals. Hess(FRESHMAN) at 285 who is out with a knee injury is set to come back in Janurary I believe. I'm not sure how a full match would go but he had a tight one with Townsend at the science hill takedown tournament in the preseason. They have a lot of quesion marks in their line up right now and we will just have to see in Feb.
