WhynotwrestleTN

We all knew when the regional duals were going to be. Let's just say that the Region Duals were not a priority to many of the middle school teams this year. The elementary teams were full and supported in a big way by their coaching staffs and parents. Looked like Region 4 came ready to defend its title and no other teams wanted the challenge. We all face challenges in life, but we make the events that are important to us a priority. Some of the participants in the duals were the 3rd or 4th place kid from the Region, but they were there to wrestle. Not sure how the region decides who coaches the region teams, but being apart of Region 4, we got two emails during the week and had plenty of opportunity to say I can't make it for the coach to fill the team. Let's not make excuses, Region 4 won the duals and John Salter & Darren Plumlee put together the best team in the state this year.
