I don't think it's a given that Deckelman will beat Hawthorne from Hixson in the semis. These guys have not wrestled each other and it will be an interesting clash of styles. Yes Deckelman will be favored but it would not surprise me to see Hawthorne get the upset win here. I do agree that Boone is a notch above everyone else in the weight class though. Superfly22

Agreed, this is probably the deepest weight class in the region with the #1 and #2 ranked wrestlers in the states with Boone and Deckelman. Hawthorne and Stacks are not far behind. If everything works out Stacks will meet Boone in one semi and Hawthorne will meet Deckelman in the other. All four wrestlers could medal at state but first things first! Wildcat Man

Well there were other teams there. Let's also give a shout out to the kids from Chattanooga Central, Pigeon Forge, Hixson, and others. Those kids work just as hard, their coaches are just as passionate, and many of those kids will make some noise in the traditional state tournament next week.One of the greatest things about wrestling is that you don't have to be on one of the big name teams to have success. It was a great tournament all across the board.
