Hamblin

Can you explain where the true second concept comes from? I have not heard of this until this year.

Sycamore is hosting an Invitational Saturday, January 15 2022. We have had two teams drop. Anyone looking to get into the tournament can email me at hamblinconstruction@yahoo.com 175 team fee or 15.00 per wrestler depending on your numbers.

I will speak for myself. I’m not involved with rankings nor do I care to be. When you put your stuff out there for the world to see you should expect some criticism. Take the criticism with a grain of salt and keep posting your opinion. If every time someone disagrees with you and you get upset about it it just adds fuel. Just ignore them and keep posting. If by the end of the season you are correct and they are not then so be it. I will add a little something by saying girls programs don’t spring up over night. They start small and gradually build from there. It is very difficult to get girls mat time when you only have a couple and you can only find Saturday events for them. As a boys coach primarily I find what I can for the girls when we have them. We are fortunate to have 3 coaches so when we do have a girl competing we can get her mat time and it is usually as a member of another team as wrestling in girls duals are not realistic or you only do Saturday tournaments. Some programs can’t afford additional coaches so it leaves one man to do both. Do you see the problem? In retrospect, arguing about it with someone else isn’t going to make it better and permitting your self to be antagonized will only raise your blood pressure. Keep doing what you are doing but expect a little criticism. Who cares what others think.

Attacking the coaches surely won’t help your cause or your argument.

It is the responsibility of the head Coach to enter the data onto track. Not the manager.

Add Sycamore to those duals. Please send a flyer to me.

Yes that is his name. He did it during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons. I found one from 2005-06 while doing a little research. Can’t find the others but I remember sending him data those two seasons.

USA Wrestling-TN Tennessee Wrestling Federation.

Would that have been the former coach of MTSU who moved to Toledo? Can’t remember his name. It was under TWA. Maybe it was called Tennessee Wrestling Association or something along those lines.

Perhaps it’s time to move along to this weeks game and put last Friday to rest.

Bump

Schools need to do a better job of advertising their GoFan access code for people who are not affiliated with either team.

What does abbreviated mean?

Actually Dalen is on the left and Logan is on the right.

I notice nobody on the football threads want to acknowledge the elephant in the room. At least they aren’t beating you up over posting it. That’s a plus.

Didn’t Barton wrestle for Whitwell?

Actually this subject has been broached more than once but every time it gets shot down by people that really don’t want to believe the truth. I’m glad he brought it up and hopefully he will not end up with the same response I got every time I did.

Glad you did.

Pitch it on the football boards.

Post that on the football pages. I would but they kick me when I post something like that. Maybe you could have better luck than I.

How?

Great call

I agree. He’s a great motivator and the kids love him. Kids will give more of themselves immediately to someone they love, respect and believe in than someone they aren’t familiar with. It takes a lot of time and work to get kids to buy into your system but if you are already there half the battle is over.

Why not Coach Cotten? He’s in the building, he has a great relationship with the kids and he expects discipline. He is a great motivator and he has his wrestling team heading in the right direction by having football players wrestle. Seems like a no brainer. Hey Principal Dearing, can you hear this?

Sycamore Invite. Jan. 15, 2022. Varsity boys only as of now. We have 10 solid commits and looking for 8-10 more.
