Baylor is good good

Is this true? Heard it through the peanut gallery and am seriously questioning my sources!!

As in Reiniche dominant over Dendy? If I don't remember correctly we all already saw that match?

I've seen both kids wrestle and I can assure anyone in question that Dendy would dominate that match. The voters must have been sitting on the other side of the gym in Franklin last weekend every time Dendy walked on the mat.

What an incredible showing for Tennessee. Chattanooga had 3 finalist and the 1st champion since Tennessee returned to Prep Nats. Props to all the coaches for squeezing one last week out of their top wrestlers and congrats to all the young men who competed with class all weekend. Reiniche and Whimper looked amazing and Mason came back after a loss last weekend and showed why he is one of the best in Tennessee and maybe even the country in the near future. Whimper is incredible and what a way to finish his highschool career. McCallie had an incredible showing and I wish we could have seen what Dendy could have put together had he not been hurt. He looked awesome Friday. Henry is keeping the TN tradition of stud HW's alive. Once again congrats to all the wrestlers and coaches who made the long bus ride to Lehigh thank you for representing Tennessee on a national level so well!

It's all over in Tennessee. State Champs have been crowned. What were the bigger surprises in Franklin this weekend. Biggest upsets? Fowler over Rippy. Dendy over Reiniche after it ending in a fall just a week before. Tony Nelson making the finals. Conner Duffy a freshman state champ at 160. Christian Brothers Collapse at the Cow Palace. The Bears running away with the title over Cleveland. What do y'all think? It sure was an exciting weekend can't wait to watch it all over again next year!

Whitworth would mop the mat with Horst. King would dominate Fuller from what I've heard about them going in the room.

Let's get it going here's my thoughts. 106- Alex Whitworth maj. Noah Horst 113- Tj Hicks maj. Christian Simpson 120- Gabriel Elkin dec. Calvin Martin 126- Jack Shrader dec. Ray Eason 132- Colton Landers dec. Brock Herring 138- Trevor Brown dec. Zackary Wilkens 145- Eli King dec. Knox Fuller 152- Ethan Dendy fall Austin Matthews 160- Matthew Sells fall Conner Duffy 170- Khamari Whimper maj. Colton Mcmahan 182- Judah Duhm maj. Hunter Fortner 195- Andrew Wesnofske dec. Nathan Walling 220- George Hooker dec. Isaiah Demillo 285- Nick Boykin Fall River Henry

Dream big

Wittman has finished 4th the last two years losing to the FRHS kid who Dendy and Murphy both dominated. Eli will score at will and it will not be a close match.

Dendy could get it if he dominated. Which I don't see happening. He would be a 4 time finalist and the only wrestler to defeat a returning state champ. He might deserve it but I think King and his career should earn him OW.

King, Whimper, or Eason in D2 will get it. Probably King in my opinion.

He rode for almost a full period. Shape is always an issue with Dendy but in the matches I have seen him wrestle this year it has not been. This one is too close to call in my opinion but a turn is not necessary. The wrestler who gets a takedown wins this match and Dendy was very close last weekend. Both tough on top and bottom both but slightly defensive wrestlers on their feet. Someone will slip up and make a mistake like Dendy did this last weekend and that will cost them the match. There might be a little extra in the line in the team race as well. This is a HUGE match. Can't wait to watch!!

I agree. No hard feelings. Simply a miss wording on my part. Both wrestlers are very young and make mistakes but both fun to watch.

I was there. Berry led 6-5 going into 3rd. If I remember correctly he had 2 escapes and 2 takedowns. I don't ever "just make stuff up" in any of my posts.

This is very biased towards Baylor. Pettway will have to wrestle extremely well to make it to the finals. Westlake most likely won't make the finals. Hartline definitely won't make the finals. Y'all are already counting Dendy out which is a mistake. And Berry was leading Duffy at 160 the entire match. Baylor will not have 7 finalists. 6 tops. MBA will have 5 or 6. McCallie with 6 or 7. Father Ryan and CBHS with around that number as well. Whoever gets the most 3rd place finishers will win this one. It will be an extremely close team race. Can't wait to see how it all pans out.

Agreed. Congrats to Reiniche. What I took away from watching the match was that neither wrestlers opened up in the first period. Very conservative match for both wrestlers there. A scramble early ended with Dendy and some sort of rib injury. Second period was dominated by Dendy on top a stall warning for Reiniche. At the end Dendy got high and got caught on his back. Next weekend will be fun at 152 glad both wrestlers stayed down.

I agree that wrestlers should shake hands after a match it is NOT a rule but simply a sportsmanlike gesture. That being said what is worse a wrestler not shaking hands with a coach or a Father Ryan coach mocking an extremely accomplished wrestler because he didn't get the exact match up he wanted a few weeks ago at Baylor? Grow up and stop attacking these kids and their coaches. Both teams laid it out there one team won and the other team didn't.

I heard it was a dislocated elbow.

106- Whitworth (McCallie) 113- Simpson (Ryan) 120- Elkin (MBA) 126- Eason (Ryan) 132- Herring (McCallie) 138- Brown (CBHS) 145- King (Ryan) 152- Dendy (McCallie) 160- Nicholson (CBHS) 170- Westlake (Baylor) 182- Whimper (Baylor) 195- Wesnofske (Ryan) 220- Hooker (Ryan) 285- Henry (McCallie) Let the debate begin

I'm gonna ride this Big Blue Tornado all the way home! Big addition at 138 in Davis fills a hole up nicely. They take their first title in years tomorrow.McCallie-36 Father Ryan-29

McCallie at full strength will be hard to handle. They are flying under the radar. I think a Ryan McCallie state duals finals is a serious possibility. I do not see Baylor beating Ryan again.

Bold move if he does. I don't see him beating Dendy.

D2 has some real studs this year. 106- Alex Whitworth dominates anyone from AAA you put on the mat. State champ hands down if it's one division. 126- Ray Ray is a stud and I don't see him losing at the state tournament. He tends to turn it on in February. 132- Brock Herring is going to be dominant in D2 this year and would be a handful for Mcelhaney and Landers. 138- Trevor Brown is a freak athlete and has incredible strength and pace. Extremely fun to watch. 145- Eli King is just Eli King. Nobody touches him. 152- Dendy dominates through the bracket. He has turned it on this year. 160- Nicholson and Reiniche give Matt Sells all he wants. Nicholson wins here in my opinion. 170- Judah Duhm. Nobody touches him in AAA. 182- Khamari Whimper Tommy Bracket is your finals match. 195- AAA stud Johnson takes this one hands down. 220- Toliver, Walthall, Hooker? Definitely got a finalist in that group maybe a champ. HW- Boykin is your champ here. Don't disrespect my boys in D2. There are some real studs. They win at least half the weight classes.

Does anyone know why Judah Duhm didn't wrestle for the big blue? Could have been the difference in the match.
