Been in the planning stages for awhile, but I'll believe it when I see it...

He's a yes man/puppet for the principal. Knowing what I know now, I'm shocked he is even in that spot to begin with.

If they lost the golf coach, then you can kiss that phenom middle schooler from California goodbye.

Believe me when I say that a good bit of the current staff there can't stomach her and think she's a plant looking to bring the whole thing down from within.

???

About time! Will be interesting to see how TNAAU season is affected, but I for one am glad this finally happening.

I like him, played against him when I was at Maryville, and I'm sure other folks like him too. That said, I'm sure there are people who may call you the same thing but they're not on message boards saying it.

Last I checked, the current head coach has 2 state titles to his credit, right?

Knoxville Catholic (Girls) - Whaley 3rd @152

I know the 1st game wasn't pretty, but they improved over the year and played well when it mattered most.

Didn't Catholic make the semis last year and play both McCallie & Baylor pretty tough?

Correct, these may change but as of now this list that's posted is current. I believe you can aslo find it on their tournament site.

Good luck to all of these athletes competing at National Preps! Below are the seeds of all the boys and girls wrestling this weekend. BOYS 106 - #4 Jaxon Lane (McCallie - 8th) 106 - #5 Tanner Tran (Father Ryan - SO) 113 - #6 Jacob Bond (Baylor - JR) 113 - #12 Nolan Hardeman (Boyd Buchanan - SO) 113 - #13 Axel Ritchie (McCallie - SO) 120 - #5 Joseph Calvin (Father Ryan - SR) 126 - #7 Brody Gobbell (Father Ryan - JR) 126 - #10 William Phillips (Baylor - SO) 132 - #5 Casen Roark (Father Ryan - JR) 132 - #6 Spencer Reep (Lakeway - SR) 138 - #16 Ethan Lampert (Father Ryan - JR) 144 - #8 Titus Norman (Baylor - SO) 150 - #7 Chancery Deane (Father Ryan - JR) 150 - #14 George Emendorfer (Baylor) 150 - #15 Findley Smout (Christian Brothers) 157 - #5 Hunter Sturgill (Baylor - JR) 165 - #5 Maximus Norman (Baylor - SO) 165 - #16 James Cross (McCallie - SR) 175 - #9 Drake Bowers (Christian Brothers - SR) 175 - #10 Kaiden Bates (Boyd Buchanan - SR) 190 - #8 Jay Eversole (Lakeway - JR) 215 - #7 Ryder Smith (Chattanooga Christian) 215 - #9 Cooper Gentle (McCallie - SO) 285 - #6 Carson Gentle (McCallie - SR) GIRLS 152 - #3 Aliya Whaley (Knoxville Catholic) - JR

The state will also be sending their 1st female from a Tennessee HS (2nd overall behind Avery Kibelbek who went to Wyoming Seminary) to compete at National Preps. Aliya Whaley (current Junior, 2x TSSAA medalist, 2023 TSSAA runner up) will be competing out of Knoxville Catholic at 152 pounds as the #2 or #3 seed.

22 weight classes in TNAAU to be exact which IMO is WAY too much. That was one of the reasons I liked coaching the MS conference events that had around 12-14 weight classes more so than the Top 100/Region/State events back in the day.

Thank you for showing us the mercy rules on how to shut him off. I'll never see him again, want to bet?? I guarantee it...

I'm talking high schools. Alcoa has a one, just not as big as UT's.

There are schools in the Knoxville area that already have established collectives.

No problem. Took a little while, but trust me when I say that the coaches involved work hard on these every week even if we've been behind on releasing them.

Sorry for the delay, but you can find them HERE.

Oh, let him cry if his tears fall down like rain Let him whine if it eases all his pain Let him go, only after he’s made bail And if the sun comes up tomorrow, laugh at him, laugh at him

As long as you don't mercy rule me, we're good!

I think Captain Obvious's little brother has a screw loose. I guarantee it

Are you sure you're not Captain Obvious's little brother?
