Coaches/Parents, We are taking a team of freshman and sophomore boys to AAU National Duals in Des Moines, IA from April 4-7, and we are in need of wrestlers at the following weight classes: 100, 177, 192, and 217. We currently have a team made up of state qualifiers and placers, and need a few more hammers to round out the team. We'll be traveling through Knoxville and Nashville on 4/7 (Thursday evening) and could pick kids up there. If you have a wrestler that is in 9th or 10th grade and would like to go on the trip, please have them reach out to me at rameyc@jcschools.org. Clark Ramey Assistant Coach, Science Hill High School

We handed out invitations on Saturday night to the champions, and then followed up today with their coaches. We should know in the next couple of days who is committing to attend. When weight classes start to fill up, I’ll add them here so that everyone knows who will be wrestling in each weight class. Based on initial responses, it looks like it’s going to be an event to remember!

The Middle Tennessee Wrestling Officials Association has announced a post-season quad for state champions here: https://www.columbiadailyherald.com/sports/20190116/inaugural-8216best-of-best8217-planned For more information contact John Gannon at jgannon@hilliard.com or Clark Ramey at clark.ramey@gmail.com.

It's official. http://www.tssaa.org/Handbook/2014WrCalendar.pdf

I wouldn't bet on Robertson for next year. Good chance he doesn't wrestle his senior year; instead he will probably focus on getting ready for VU football. Similar situation happened with Barrett Gauger in 2012 after his scholarship to Vandy.

You might want to check out what happened in Region 4. I guess Higgins and Grindstaff are both going to be looking for jobs.

Anyone?

I need a t-shirt guy for a tournament. Any names?

But: If you contact Cliff Keen, they may send you a device that holds the two straps together and is NFHS approved. Search "Cliff Keen Signature Headgear Two-Slot Strap Holder".

All of that just says that if Schay didn't win his region, being a past state champion doesn't come into play for seeding.

2011-12 TSSAA Handbook Page 2 October 27, 2011 IV. STATE TOURNAMENT (Division I) A. The state wrestling tournament shall be held the weekend of the third Saturday in February. B. The draw for the state tournament shall be made by the Board of Control and shall be released after the completion of all regional wrestling tournaments. C. Wrestlers who meet the qualification shall be placed in each weight division in the state tournament. In order to be placed, a wrestler must be a regional champion and must have been a state place finisher during his high school career. The criteria for placing shall be as follows: 1. Separate all state champions (includes state champions from other states). 2. The following criteria shall be used to separate state champions: (a) state champion at same weight, ( state champion at higher weight, © state champion at lower weight. (If there are two state champions at the same weight the state champion from Tennessee will receive the higher seed.) 3. Follow the same procedure as #2 above for 2nd place from previous year, 3rd place from previous year, … 4. Items #2 and #3 shall be applied in order to wrestlers who placed in the state tournament two years prior. 5. Blind draw.

It's going to be tough for Jack Finnegan to place at state; he didn't wrestle at regionals.

3rd Jashon Robertson (MBA) pinned Glenn Rochholt (Indy) Clarksville Heavyweight pinned and MBA Heavyweight pinned #5 Independence Heavyweight. Robertson beat Rockholt in triple overtime, not a pin.
