Once again, and I'm trying not to overstep my boundaries, but I'll help out where I can. As far as the Best of the Best goes, Coach Torres (Baylor) and Coach Anglin (Bradley) will be heading up the SE Team for the event. I have heard that several other Hamilton Co. and Bradley Co. coaches will be involved w/ the selection process as well. As far as the team composition is concerned, Coach Torres and Anglin will be getting together tonight to get some tentative names put on paper for contact purposes. After that, I'm sure that they'll be contacting coaches of the respective wrestlers for interest as well as posting on here and other social media avenues for other wrestlers w/in our area who may be interested. If wrestle-off's are needed, I'm sure that we'll facilitate that as Coach Bosken and I did last year when we were heading up this team. Again, I am only speaking for our area and from the dialogue that I have had w/ Coach Anglin concerning this process up til now. Anyone who has questions concerning FS/Greco in our area is welcome to call, text, or email me if they have any questions and I'll help out where I can as I am not connected directly w/ TNUSAW, but I try to stay in the loop as much as possible. Additionally, anyone looking for a place to practice FS/Greco is welcome to join us as we started our FS/Greco emphasis for this off-season two weeks ago. Hope that this helps in some way. Ben Smith, Bradley Central bmsmith@bradleyschools.org

Shoot me an email and I'll send you the TNUSAW schedule. We also host a FS/G tournament on May 5. Ben Smith Bradley Central HS bmsmith@bradleyschools.org

Gentlemen! Though I appreciate my name being mentioned in the "#1/#2" conversation on this prestigious thread, there is one simple fact that is being overlooked here...I'm not even the #1 or #2 wrestling coach on my campus! When you're privileged enough to have coached with and still walk the halls w/ the likes of Coach Turner Jackson, Steve Logsdon, and Chad Laxton, it's hard not to laugh when I read this thread. Not mention, I have some pretty great assistants on campus as well. Again, it's a privilege and honor to even have my name mentioned, but it simply is not true. Coach Bosken is well on his way as I hope that maybe one day I might be as well. Again, thank you, though, Coach Bowers. But, as mentioned earlier, I do believe that it was a simple reference to where our respective teams finished this year in the AAA state tournaments, nothing more and nothing less. Another a fact that I'd like to point out is that our state is full of very good, high quality coaches, both young, old, and legendary. Over the past 10-15 years and as my traveling in and w/ the off-season has increased, I've seen first hand that our coaches here in TN are as top-notch as many other areas/states. This current group of younger coaches (the "next generation" as I've heard them called) that is heavily involved w/ our off-season/international style programs now is as motivated and eager of a group as I've ever seen w/in TN. With organized effort, continued learning w/in all styles, and a lot of hard work, I believe that TN can close the gap w/ other states if we continue to work together and improve. Lastly, for the record, I wouldn't want Coach Ben Bowers job. It's a thankless job that catches a lot of heat. But, Coach Bowers has stepped up to the plate is doing the best job that he can. He has the time, he has the passion and he's willing to put both of them into our off-season USAW program year-round. A lot of coaches, myself included, have the energy and passion to do his job but time escapes us due to the running of our respective programs. I don't always agree w/ everything Coach Bowers does, but I always factor in the sacrifice that he makes to serve our wrestling community when I take my concerns, conflicts, resolutions, and/or suggestions to him via call, text, email, or meeting. I urge others do the same if issues arise. He's always willing to talk w/ me and has always been respectful to our program, our coaches, and myself in all of our past dealings. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at Summit. Safe travels and safety to our wrestlers, Ben Smith Bradley Wrestling
