Heard they were holding him out till state individuals?

Who's ready for it? Tate Robinson might wrestle Adam Connel this weekend. Who is the winner?

I doubt this would be the match that people would expect. I would expect a major out of Murphy here.

Yea I would expect a pin out of Oliver

Wrestling Geek:

 

I'm hearing rumors that many of the Chattanooga area wrestlers are being told ahead of time by their coaching staffs that they will not be able to ride back home with their team. Apparently some will have to give up their seats in order to make room for all of the championship hardware that's coming home to the Chattanooga region again this year.

Again? Oh yea, they did win both of the states last year.

I've been a long time fan/supporter of Chattanooga area wrestling. I've watched many of the fine young men from this area year after year and I'm proud of all them and what they've accomplished. I hope they all go out on top and continue to represent the heart of wrestling in this state. This region is full of intense rivals all year long but this time of year we usually stick together and pull for one another. These guys have been wrestling each other since they were very very young. I'm pulling for CHS first of course but after that...the locals guys that I've watched on the mat for the past decade.

 

 

This is definitely a fun and exciting time of year! The State Duals have always been my favorite. No offense toward other areas or teams, just promoting our local guys and generating some buzz for the upcoming championship.

Yea since they are from the same area as you, they have to be really good. Now I see why you picked them. Thanks!

No just coincidence, I think Baylor and McCallie match up really well with a tough Father Ryan team.

Did Baylor match up very well against Clevelend?

I said the Baylor/McCallie winner will probably win state because I think these two teams are tougher than the others.

Is this because they are from the same area as you?

D2

 

113 Baylor is the favorite, Chatt region

 

126 McCallie is the favorite, Chatt region

 

132 FR is the top ranked wrestler here but this is the only weight class I have an upset picked, McCallie - Chatt region

 

138 Baylor and McCallie are the two front runners, Chatt region

 

145 McCallie is the favorite, Chatt region

 

152 FR holds the top spot for now but only after a 1 point win over Baylor with multiple questionable calls (Baylor had been dominating the entire match). I don't see that happening twice in a month. I've got Baylor picked here, Chatt region

 

160 Baylor is the favorite, Chatt region

 

170 Baylor is the favorite, Chatt region

 

182 McCallie and Baylor are the front runners, Chatt region

 

220 - McCallie already had an impressive win over #1 FR so I don't know why he still has the #1 spot. He has wins over the remaining top 4 in his weight. I have McCallie winning this one again, Chatt region

 

 

* Edited/Corrected to 10 wins for Chattanooga Region after overlooking 220

 

 

The Remaining Weight Classes:

Brentwood Academy will probably have two champs at 195/285

CBHS will probably have one champ if he's healthy

The February Bro's will probably have one champ since King dropped if he's healthy and/or can make weight

You are completely right with all of this. Chattanooga is just amazing at wrestling aren't they? Is that why you chose Clevelend?

I assume you mean they are on the same side of the bracket. In that case then they obviously cannot both be in the finals which is a shame. Like I said in another post I'm not 100% familiar with the unusual qualifying procedures used in D2, things are done much differently in D1.

 

Arguably the best two teams in D2, both of which come from the same area, are on the same side of the bracket while the two west Tennessee teams are on the other side of the bracket.

 

Thanks for the insight.

Yes they are definitley the best 2 teams. I think they messed up putting Father Ryan at 1. They should be at 3 or 4.

And have you seen Sammy Evans in the practice room?

Seen him both of them on the mat

Tennessee middle school star Sammy Evans moved to California and has reallycturned it on. He is ranked 10th in the state at 220 but beat number 7 yesterday 6-1. I heard from him a while back and he said the difference in the completion level is crazy. He only has 1 loss to the number 4 guy 9-8 .

I have seen Kramer in the practice room there is no way Sammy Evans would touch Kramer.

Without Murphy & huge upset of Canada, the Kingless Ryan pulls one out Walt over Baylor. Didn't expect that until February! Congrats to Pat & Co. C

 

Wendy's Standing Merkel with a trip was impressive. Not sire why P.A. stopped one of them and awarded a pt?!?

canada was

definitley a huge upset even though Simpson majored him last year… that's not an upset

In keeping with Ryan/Simpson Tradition, just pick yourself up and win when it matters most.

Simpson has proved that he can win when it matters.

I didn't say he was. I was just answering the first part of your question for you. Simpson was the 2 seed and the kid from Auburn was the 8 seed. From what I heard

Ok. I am asking Sommers, but he is not answering…

FRHS won the tournament. WC was second.

So they were not strong enough?

He did lose on Friday in pool play to the same guy he beat in the finals.

So how was he expected to win?

113 & 126 as expected

Big win at 120 (Lee taking it up a notch)

132 no casting stones this year. Momentum building

Score of Eckhart/small match?

Big win at 45

152 & 160 was predictable

170 Ryan going into high gear with Hagey

No surprises at 182

195 Russell gearing up for a final finish.

220- the match everyone wanted at Ryan. No flu this year, got that overwith at the super 32 but still within one win of medal there at half+- throttle (no offense dad)

Hwt - Bruno

 

Where was Eli King?

Is it true that Kirby Simpson lost earlier in the tournament? If so, how was he expected to win?

WC is finishing strong@ Ryan today!

 

Several medalists! Austin Richard Simms his 200th!!!

It sounds like WC was finishing strong. I'm assuming the beat FRHS

Does anybody know the result of the father Ryan tournament??

Cleveland 120 isnt the greatest of wrestlers. Nonetheless cyree is still a stud

yes he is, but I guess chalioufix is a better stud?

prolly cuz he makes cleveland a stronger team at 103. With Blansit and 113 and bishop at 120

yea I guess so since he would wrestle 113 but he can't beat blansit
