  1. I saw this story in today's Nashville City Paper, and wanted to ask you guys here if high school football players are encouraged to wrestle, or whether they are steered away from the mat when football season ends.

    “It’s something that to me, when a guy has been a wrestler, especially when he has been a successful wrestler, it says something about his toughness and his commitment,†Titans general manager Ruston Webster said.
  2. I noticed this disclosure at the end of the City Paper article:

     

    Disclosure: Three directors of SouthComm — the parent company of The City Paper — Townes Duncan, DeWitt Thompson V and Mark Oldham, have ties to the school. Duncan and Oldham had family attend MBA, while Thompson is an alumnus, and his father served on the MBA board of trustees.

     

    I've never heard of any of these guys, but a colleague at work told me about them. I did a google search for each name, plus +Ensworth as a search term. The top search results revealed much about the sources (and perhaps motivation) for this article.

     

    The disclosure in the article is far, far from complete.

  3. From what I have heard the big red may have suffered two detrimental losses against PC. I have heard that rb/cb Jhamall Wright suffered a concussion, and I saw that he was taken out of the game. Also lb James Kay may have suffered ligament damage in both shoulders? I don't know if that's right, but I noticed he also did not play the 4th quarter. These two injuries could prove to be detrimental, for the defense has not looked great through the first 6 games. Even if these two players are out, I'm going to say MBA 24-10. They do have talent, but have to minimize their mistakes, mostly in the red zone. What's Ryan got this year? Heard from a parent their qb can really run.

     

    You also saw the JV play the 4th quarter, including the freshman QB.

  4. If it's any consolation, the MBA freshman team is looking really good this year. They are 2-0 this year with a 34-18 win over Siegel, and 34-14 victory over the BA freshman team.

     

    The 9th grade Big Red team will be at Father Ryan this Thursday. :thumb:
