He will wrestle at A/AA state. As much as we'd all love to see him at AAA state, its not possible

I couldnt agree more. And i dont see how you can say he is cheating or that Alcoa is doing something wrong. He came back and wants to wrestle. The didnt force him to come back or beg him to come back.

1. Shotts 2. Kramer 3. Kennedy And Sammy Evans will win A/AA. Do we know the exact reason of his return? I highly doubt it was only to wrestle in the semi crappy TSSAA state tournament

Id say medalists (in no particular order) will be: 106- N/A 113- Knier (WeCr) 120- Ceritto (WC) 126- Dickeson (WC) Wilkins (MJ) 132- Richard (WC) 138- Bowen (NE) Small (WC) McCasland (Beech) 145- Gordon (Ross) 152- Binns (WC) 160- King (Beech) 170- Rippy (Beech) D'Alessandro (Clrk) 182- Yunis (Knwd) Baltz (WC) 195- Russell (Clrk) 220- Kramer (WC) 285- Reagan (Clrk) Honerable Mentions (kids who could very well place as well depending on brackets and if they wrestle to their full potential) 113- Berta (WC) Helm (MJ) 120- Butler (Beech) 132- Hackett (Beech) 152- Edens (MJ) Huddleston (Clrk) 160- Bowen (NE) Out of those i say finalists will be: 126- Dickeson (WC) 132- Richard (WC) 145- Gordon (Ross) 170- Rippy (Beech) 182- Yunis (Knwd) 220- Kramer (WC) 285- Reagan (Clrk) And out of those, i say State Champions are: 132- Austin Richard (WC) 285- Bruno Reagan (Clrk)

But if landers was sick, why not let Niño wrestle?

Who got MOW? Didnt stay to see, but if its not Delrico Bowen id be shocked

What will happen at 106. With only 3 coming out of region 4

With only 3 106's coming out of Region 4, who will take that last spot at state? How will the determine it? Or will the top seed get a bye?

Payne and Houser both miss weight for Soddy. Landers also not wrestling for Cleveland. Not sure what happened there

Soddy already off to a bad start. Payne (106) and Houser (126) both miss weight. Disappointing

Have the tournaments not started yet tonight? None of them are updated on track

Congratulations to Cleveland, Pigeon Forge, and Baylor on winning their respective State Championships. Also i big shout out to both Ravenwood and Christian Brothers for shaking things up with big wins over Soddy and McCallie respectively. Now, on to individuals. What do the region individual schedules look like?

In the many years of viewing the state tournament, i have encountered many rude, disrespectful, ungrateful, and selfish Soddy wrestlers. Now im not saying they are all like that but your not gonna sit there and tell me that they are all perfect. And last years ordeal proves it even more. Those Soddy wrestlers were not sent home last year because they were caught, they were sent home because the cops were called. Word actually got around per other teams in the same hotel, that he was not going to send them home at all until the cops were involved. He cared more about winning than disciplining his kids the correct way. I for one am glad they were sent home and you can say Central beat a weakened Soddy team, well in my opinion those sent home clearly didnt care about the team. WC beat the team that wanted to be there. They beat the Soddy wrestlers that cared about wrestling and cared about their team. So, back to the original subject.. I dislike Soddy because how i have personally witnessed their kids act at tournaments off the mat

May i ask who exactly you have winning each of these weight classes?

I dont dislike them just for the heck of it guys. It has nothing to do with what they do on the mat. I respect them on the mat. It is many of their actions and attitudes off the mat that makes me think there are many many other kids and teams who deserve it more

It wont be lopsided with Cleveland and Central either

Unless someone other than Soddy or Central pulls a Cinderella to the finals, it wont be lopsided

I have my reasoning for my disliking of them

Well i will be rooting against all of region 4 the entire tournament. I want someone else to win. But if it does end up bein a Cleveland-Soddy final, i will pull for Cleveland. I just plain dont like Soddy. Never will root for them in-state

When will rankings be updated again?

Yeah atleast the finals. I mean, every other sport gets their finals televised/streamed... Just sayin

Yes Soddy first

T$$AA should stream the entire state tournament.

Bring it on

Possible matchups: 106- Colton Landers vs Nick King 113- Tristin Blansitt vs Caleb Berta 120- Taylor Bishop vs Christian Cerrito 126- Chris Debian vs Lane Dickeson 132- Austin Stevison vs Austin Richard 138- Ezra Taylor vs Eddie Small 145- Will Haas vs John-Michael Jenkinson 152- Jonathan Martin vs Mike Bimms 160- Aaron Oliver vs John Davidson 170- Josh Hamilton vs Tyler Georgeadis 182- Sam Garcia vs Perry Baltz 195- Ethan West vs Benjamin Liles 220- Koran Kennedy vs John Kramer 285- John Gaither vs Christian Frans My predictions based on these probables: 106- Colton Landers pin Nick King (6-0 CHS) 113- Caleb Berta dec Tristan Blansitt (6-3 CHS) 120- Christian Cerrito maj Taylor Bishop (7-6 WC) 126- Chris Debian dec Lane Dickeson (9-7 CHS) 132- Austin Richard dec Austin Stevison (10-9 WC) 138- Eddie Small dec Ezra Taylor (13-9 WC) 145- John-Michael Jenkinson dec Will Haas (16-9 WC) 152- Mike Bimms pin Jonathan Martin (22-9 WC) 160- Aaron Oliver dec John Davidson (22-12 WC) 170- Josh Hamilton pin Tyler Georgeadis (22-18 WC) 182- Perry Baltz pin Seth Garcia (28-18 WC) 195- Ethan West pin Benjamin Liles (28-24 WC) 220- John Kramer maj Koran Kennedy (32-24 WC) 285- John Gaither pin Christian Frans (32-30 WC) Yup, there it is... I said it. Wilson Central upsets mighty Cleveland 32-30. Go ahead and start the "hahahahaha" and "your crazy" and the "your out of your bleepin mind" comments. Its my prediction. My opinion. Instead of sayin how outrageous it is, make your own predictions Kramer and Hamm have those kids hungrier than ever and head to toe better than last year. Not to mention they as coaches are pretty hungry themselves. They will come prepared and ready to take on the world. I for one hope this is the finals and cannot wait for a heck of a match
