Pretty sure teams were told what the deadline was going to be before the TSSAA opened the tickets up to the public.  I know it was publicized for our parents.  If they didn't take care of getting their tickets before that point that is unfortunate, procrastination is a killer.

Don't know that there is anything this board could do unless they find someone on here who bought the publicly available tickets and is willing to give them up.

That is correct. Noon today.

More like a hashtag, but when your own crowd is yelling #DontGetUp then it's pretty bad. I've seen better dives from Greg Louganis, but that one was pretty bad.

Anyway, I wouldn’t overlook the Clevenger kid at Heavy.

Didn’t Clevenger pin the HW from PF? I am confused.

My son played against his brother who was a stud in football and it seems genetics was good to the young man as well.

Yes he did pin him. I was merely suggesting that in my original post I used the word slam/slammed but I am not suggesting he did anything illegal.  The PF heavy is a very large young man and when they hit the mat young Clevenger was on the bottom of the pile. I mentioned that would not be a fun place to be. My heavyweight is every bit of 285 lbs and I make sure I’m not under him. EVER. 

To clarify. I am not suggesting the PF kid did anything illegal. Wrestling is rough and sometimes the returns are a reflection of that. 

Clevenger gives up a lot of weight and if you have ever been under your heavyweight you know it’s not a fun place to be.

Sorry, I didn't know much about the guys at 106 other than the ones I had as my top 3 TBH. 

Hamblin, what are your predictions for the tournament this year?

I don’t make predictions. 

I wouldn’t overlook the Clevenger kid of Fairview at heavy. He pinned the Pigeon Forge kid at the duals after being slammed pretty good by him. That Clevenger kid is a pretty nice guy until you slam him. Then he’s not so nice anymore. 

Now Taylor Turner beat Frank of Fairview 6-0 in the region final so I would probably put him above Frank on the podium here as well.

Your top 4?

Considering Landon will be at home watching this on NFHS while his brother Taylor is wrestling at 106. Still wanna bet?

I wanted to create a thread to give our A/AA boys some love. Let's get the predictions going! I'm interested to hear everyone's take, individually and team score. Here's how I have it playing out:

106

1. Ethan Uhorchuk (Signal Mtn.)

2. Porter Finstad (Gibbs)

3. Sam Frank (Fairview)

4. Landon Turner (Harpeth)

113

1. Caleb Uhorchuk (Signal Mtn.)

2. Leandre Dabney (Greeneville)

3. Greg Gomez (MLK)

4. Hunter Gentry (Pigeon Forge)

I expect Leandre to give Caleb a better match than most think. I wouldn't be totally shocked to see an upset here. This will be a big one in terms of the team score. Whoever loses this one, their team essentially can't catch PF in my opinion.

120

1. Andy Cable (Pigeon Forge)

2. Keegan Seaver (Fairview)

3. Noah Shriner (Signal Mtn.)

4. Gordon Mccall (Alcoa)

126

1. Daniel Uhorchuk (Signal Mtn.)

2. Trevor Lewis (Hixson)

3. Charles Dabney (Greeneville)

4. Dylan Davenport (Sycamore)

Daniel v. Trevor will be the match of the tournament. I'm stoked for this one!

132

1. Brice Barton (Whitwell)

2. Riley Lippincott (Nolensville)

3. Hunter Johnson (Greeneville)

4. Caleb Miller (Hixson)

Lippincott is my sleeper pick for the tournament. I saw where Barton pinned him at the regionals but if he's on, Lippincott can win this weight. Johnson has to win for Greeneville to have a crack at the team title. 

138

1. Hunter Mason (Greeneville)

2. Noah Dyer (Pigeon Forge)

3. Kale Albritton (Signal Mtn.)

4. Seth McCoy (Forrest)

Mason is my pick for OW. Dyer will beat Albritton in the quarters despite being the #7 seed and this will be a major factor in lifting PF to the team title.

145

1. Josh Parton (Pigeon Forge)

2. John Pittman (Gibbs)

3. Riley Bennett (Fairview)

4. Brody Mclemore (Eagleville)

Pittman's a senior vet wrestling his best at the end of his career. Almost knocked off Parton at the regionals. I'm calling an upset over Bennett in the quarters before he drops another close match to Parton in the finals.

152

1. Garrett Foreman (Pigeon Forge)

2. Alex Overbay (Sullivan South)

3. Dalen Kimble (Sycamore)

4. Blake Mitchell (Fairview)

160

1. Kodiak Cannedy (Greeneville)

2. Malachi Bennett (Fairview)

3. Kobie Smith (Hixson)

4. Donnovin Darnell (Eagleville)

170

1. Wyatt Mclemore (Eagleville)

2. Cooper Edwards (Harpeth)

3. Marco Pukl (Pigeon Forge)

4. Morgan Lowery (Greeneville)

182

1. Kevin Muschel (Signal Mtn.)

2. Noah Hill (Forrest)

3. Joseph Skidmore (Pigeon Forge)

4. Kendrick Curtis (Fairview)

Probably the deepest weight class, going to fun to watch this one! I have Muschel being the lowest seed (#7) to win a championship. Kevin v. Joseph in the quarters will be a good one. We'll see some great quarterfinal action in a lot of these weights.

195

1. Ethan Sutton (Pigeon Forge)

2. Preston Worley (Signal Mtn.)

3. Nathan Montpool (Nolensville)

4. Logan Woodall (Hixson)

220

1. Jonathan Morton (Elizabethton)

2. Parrish Pacetti (Hixson)

3. Caleb Wolfe (Pigeon Forge)

4. Rob Atwood (Trousdale County)

285

1. Kaymon Overton (East Nashville)

2. Mustafi Algarawi (Pigeon Forge)

3. Jacob Clevenger (Fairview)

4. Seth Vaughn (Fulton)

Team

1. Pigeon Forge

2. Signal Mtn.

3. Greeneville

4. Fairview

I will bet you $500 that Landon Turner does not make the podium at 106.

For the first time NE TN has a seemingly legit private school in their backyard and as such this will definitely pull some talent from Dobyns Bennett and Science Hill in the coming years assuming they can keep a quality coach and be competitive.  Supposedly Lakeway has a full roster this year as last year they never entered more than two kids or three kids in any tournament or dual (that I could see) so I'm curious to see what they have.  

I think it’s safe to say the coach will be around awhile. Being able to pull that sort of talent in after just one season says a lot about him. Why would he bail for something else?

It might be a good idea for coaches to let folks know how to go about purchasing tickets for sporting events as well as restrictions and requirements.

Sycamore I know will be using GoFan to sell tickets for all home events including our duals tournament.

We will also do temperature checks and masks are required in the facility. 

Typo. I have three returning champs written on my papers. Thanks for the catch.

Im gonna throw a few things out there but I am in no way making predictions. 

These numbers are based on last years results and recent news.

Individual top 6 teams.

Pigeon Forge scored 224 points. 80.5 points ahead of second place Fairview who had 143.5 points.

Next was Greenville with 134.5 and Hixson at 120.5. Signal Mountain had 117.5 and Nolensville had 112.5. 

80 points separate 1 and 2.

31 points separate number 2 and number 6

PF  graduated 1, returns 9 of 11 placers , two transferred out and one being a state champ. 

Fairview graduated 4, returns 6 placers,

Greenville graduated 2, returns 4 placers with 2 being state champs. 

Hixson graduated 4, returns 3 placers one being a state champ.

Signal Mountain graduated 1, returns 4 placers including 2 champions. They also bring on another tough Uhorchuk kid.

Nolensville graduated 3 and returns 3 placers.

Following these teams in order to round out the top 10.

Gibbs 108 points.

Alcoa 102 points.

Forrest 79 points.

Eagleville 72.5 points.

IMO Pigeon Forge has lost the most but also appears to bring the most back to the table. Does the loss equate to 80 points? Who can say.  Foreman seems to have a bit of a pipeline going at PF. 

Greenville and Fairview both appear to offer a challenge to PF.

Because I am not making predictions I will leave it at that. The remainder of these teams    should all make an impact this year assuming we have a suitable season and good luck to all.

Sycamore high has been shut down until Nov. 30. That’s 3 weeks 

We have lost 3 dates as a result. 

We have a few openings, all away, that we would like to fill to make up for what we lost.

These dates are available for us to travel.

Dec. 21 or 22.

Dec. 28 or 29.

Jan. 2 Saturday.

Jan. 7 and 28.

If you have an opening email me at hamblinconstruction@ yahoo.com

Thanks

I believe Gumlick 3rd at 120 left as well

Are we talking team state or individual state?

I would be interested in getting dates for my one girl. She’s a brand new Sophomore wrestler around 200. Looking to go 195 but can be used at either. It’s already a challenge to find one girl mat time and now with covid it may prove to be more difficult. Let me know I am at hamblinconstruction@yahoo.com

Sycamore high is planning an 8 team duals tournament Saturday, Jan 16. 2021.

We have 5 teams and are looking for 3 more.

Top 2 teams receive trophy and top team wrestlers receive medals. 

Email me at hamblinconstruction@yahoo.com if you are interested.

Coach Peck what email address do you use now? 

Thanks for doing it
