TSSAA is a joke

I will guess and say, you know the answer and it is probably someone from the school you support.

Coach

 

I am so sorry that you are to stupid to comprehend the point of the K-5 all star team. Its not to stroke your ego about your kid, its to get the best wrestlers on the team so we can pick the kids for team Tennessee. If you don’t like the way its being done, quit focusing on your kid and get involved with the state. Quit coming on coach T and complaining about how things are done, and actually do something. I am so sick of whiney #### dads getting on here always complaining about how their kids got robbed of this opportunity or that opportunity when all they do is focus on their kid only and don’t give a crap about the rest of the state. You know who got robbed, every kid on my team. Year in and year out I focus my time on TNAAU and kids across the state. I spend my time at the head table fixing brackets, giving out medals, dealing with whiney people like you, and so on. When I should be in the corner coaching my wrestlers. Its people like you that run the good volunteers off because “no good deed goes unpunishedâ€. I created the TOP 100 and I catch crap from parents like you every day because you feel like it screwed your kid. I introduced the paperless system to Tennessee. I created criteria for our region dual team because nobody else would do it, and I catch crap from people like you because little Timmy could not win a challenge match. I AM DONE WITH IT. I will do no more for wrestling in the state. After next weekend, I will only focus on my child and my club ONLY. I hope you are happy. You just made wrestling in Tennessee and AAU weaker, and I am not the only person that people like you have run off. I hope you have the brains and the drive (I doubt it) to pick up the ball and improve the state. I guess only time will tell.

 

Oh, now back to the issue at hand, no region champ was guaranteed any slot on the K-5 team because we must choose between tots, bantams, midgets and juniors. I am sorry that your son (think you might be bias) should be on a team over a kid who beat him in a wrestle off for that slot. Rather than sit here and complain, teach your kid to work a little harder, and maybe he will come out on top next time.

 

Don’t be mad at me; be mad at your coach for not communicating. Here is the exact email that was sent to your coach them on Feb 21^st and what was explained in the coaches meeting. Pay close attention to the provided examples. The 55lb and 116lb examsples cover this scenario (MUST BE CLOSE ON WEIGHT).

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coaches,

 

Middle school is a very straight forward selection process. However, the elementary team is not. We have 4 divisions that we must select the team from. Below are the criteria that will be used. Please pass this on to your parents. They must understand the challenge matches will occur after the region championship. If a lower level wrestler (midget, bantam, etc...) plans to challenge, they will need to return to the tournament by 4PM the day of regions.

Below is a breakdown of the Elementary dual weight classes. Please note some of the weight classes are different than our standard weights. With that said, the team will be filled starting with juniors and working our way down (wrestlers must be in grades k-5). This means a junior in 6th grade is not eligible.

 

I also understand in some cases a lower level wrestler may be better than the senior level wrestler, so we will give them option to challenge. However, in an effort to reduce the number of challenge matches we will use the below criteria.

 

2]1. Slot is assigned to highest placing 5th grader for all Juniors in that weight class (should they want it)

2]2. Lower level wresters who are region champs can challenge for that slot.

2]3. Whoever wins the challenge match would have that slot.

 

Challenge matches will occur at the conclusion of the tournament (all wresters in challenge matches must report at 4PM). This means juniors will need to plan on staying until the tournament is over and Midgets will need to stay or come back for the challenge match.

 

Below is an example of selection criteria:

Dual weight class 55lbs – Slot will go to highest placing Junior (5th Grade) at 60lbs (must be close on weight). If a the region champ in the Midget declare a challenge, they will wrestle off after 4PM and winner will earn slot.

 

Dual weight class 60lbs – Slot will go to highest placing Junior (5th Grade) at 60lbs.If a the region champ in the Midget declare a challenge, they will wrestle off after 4PM and winner will earn slot.

 

Dual weight class 116lbs - Slot will go to highest placing Junior (5th Grade) at 112lbs or 120lbs (120 has to be close on weight). If both weights want the slot, there will be challenge match around 4PM after tournament. The midget 120 (must be close on weight) if a region champ can challenge the above winner.

Wow, you work with elementary kids! You openly show your character on a public message board makes me wonder how you deal with kids.

Campbell Lewis and Elijah Oliver

I agree Ghouse. It just appears to be the same conversation with nothing new to add.

The outline of this thread.

1.Thread posted.

2. Name of a wrestler posted by several.

3. Someone lists 10 wrestlers.

4. The 10 wrestlers are debated.

5. Someone will link B.B top 50 article.

6. Thread will turn into All-Time greats.

7. Everyone argues again.

Moral of the story is...this turns into the same argument every year and the same people chime in. When really it is impossible to make comparisons to who deserves and does not deserve. Styles,weight classes etc. makes it even harder to debate.

Never heard of you. But I'll ask around. I thought Mike Hatcher was the Kids Club coach.

Last I checked the title said East TN.

 

Navarro,Ream,Rose,Bromely,Clark 1-1st and 4-2nd place finishes in a tough region and Kazy is also a qualifyer

I said 4-6 placers

Looks like coach Smith got em ready

"notscared" when they place I want my almonds (they were better than the pecans @ the duals)

3 appears to be the number, so neither of us were right. I win since I did not go over on my numbers.

How does a coach post rankings and be a coach? Not trying to start anything, just wondering how the athletes respond to a coach not picking his wrestlers. I agree with most of your predictions.

106-Devan Cryee

 

113-Chris Debian

 

120-Jacob Stevens

 

126-Austin Oliver

 

132-Eddie Small

 

138-Caleb Langford

 

145-Jacob Freeman

 

152-Josh Hamilton

 

160-Aaron Lopez

 

170-Tyler Crane

 

182-Ethan West, Cleveland

 

195-Boykin, Riverdale

 

220-Satterfield, William Blount (someone set an extra mat for Amos and Satterfield to go at it one more time before they graduate) Would love to see the match.

 

285-Taylor Podany, Beech

 

 

There are definitely some guys in the lower weights that i feel can pull off some upsets. Should be some good wrestling in a few days.

Can you post team results?

Thanks for the information. It would change the outlook at 106 if he is not able to wrestle.

Word is spreading he was injured and may miss the State Tournament. Can anyone confirm?

East TN once again shows how far the gap is with the rest of the state.

They are a good team but they just beat a team that just kicked 3 starters off the team the day before. That's a lot of points gone not to mention when you have to bump to compensate for those loses. Most of you saying this, had already wrote Soddy Daisy off from even placing. The team in the finals will be full strength, so we will see.But Congratulations to Wilson Central but tonight could get ugly

Must be talking about the Matlock vs. West match

It seems to take the flow of the match away. And lets face the obvious facts, to much variation in officiating

It would be nice if you could make your camera angle where the other semi-final match can also be seen in the background.

Rotating refs in the middle of a dual meet, is one of the worst ideas I have seen.

I have to assume that you do not read this forum very often.

Haha, I was thinking this.

Texas 23 is correct . the wrestlers who make the lists are voted on by the coaches in attendance. there were only around a dozen or so coaches in attendance. The simple fact is that as a Coach if you have a kid who you think deserves a shot you need to be there. As a Coach we know of some of the kids that are good and should be considered but if the coach is not there then there is no information like season record , common opponents, head to head , etc then its hard to put kids up for spots. I do know that PA Bowler sent out an email about the meeting and then another one as a reminder just days before.

You must have a lot of friends.

How does Wilson Central go from being in the Semi Finals to not placing?

Why are we talking about girls wrestling? Its State Duals time. Go Blue!
