Hamblin

Due to weather conditions we have been forced to cancel this tournament. We are trying to reschedule for the 27th if we can get the gym. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Jeff Jordan State Champ Camp. Try it!

I watched a coach kick a returning state champion off his team because he was breaking team rules. They won a state title without him. It happened again about 5 years later with a different kid. That team also won a title. To him it was about motivating the others to make the sacrifice to work harder. He also set an example. It was always about the team. That coach will soon be inducted into the National Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame. His name is George Hamblin, Richmond Blue Devils, Richmond Mi.

I think we have already forgotten why we started the beginner events after 1200pm last season, and maybe even why they were instituted to begin with. I will have a number of kids miss this event because the parents won't put their wrestling before their church. They will hold out for Mt. Juliet in hopes they don't cancel their beginner event.

The people doing the duels will already be there. How many beginners wrestle in the top 100? This strategy only benefits the folks who live near Chattanooga. Would you be one of those?

Something you may want to consider is travel for folks not in the Chattanooga area and the possibility of a lack of hotel space with so many other folks being present for the top100. If there is no place available to stay Saturday night people will have to travel early Sunday morning. Maybe you switch the order and have the duels early and give people a chance to get to Chattanooga Sunday morning. Just a suggestion

That's a great idea. Thanks for supporting the beginners!!

We still have room for a couple more teams. Email me at hamblinconstruction@yahoo.com

Will there be a cap put on the beginner portion of this event?

Where are you located?

That is what we were told as well. So in a pinning situation while the opponent is inside the circle you can come up on your toes but if his shoulders are out if bounds you have to stay on your knees.......

Be easy on the refs. They were just as baffled as we were.

Add Tullahoma girls

There were a number of puzzled looks on the faces of us coaches when it was delivered at the rules meeting. We will see how it plays out.

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well coach

Add Antioch boys and girls

Add Union County Tn. Boys as well

Great job Coach Dearing. You can be proud of that accomplishment

HCWCC coachv I think you are wrong about that coaches link. According to an email I have from Mark Reeves the coach link only applies to kids already in high school. If a kid is coming from middle school and does not have a high school record he is not effected.

In my opinion there is no difference between compression shorts and a singlet. I don't believe compression shorts would be more accepted than a singlet. Board shorts may be the better option.

We will be adding girls for the 2018 tournament. Top 4 girls will medal. Top 4 teams to receive a trophy. Let me know if you are interested. hamblinconstruction@yahoo.com
