ALCOAgoon, you name is fitting with posts like that....... Talking about a boys beat down? Talk about classless!

Not blaming the kid at all. He is a great wrestler. I am just saying that I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't go where he will face tougher competition. I agree that Baylor, Cleveland, etc have some GREAT programs that have been that way for awhile. They are always looking to add to their roster.

How long do you really think Evans will be wrestling at Alcoa? Heck he may already be on a plane back to California. If he doesn't go back there, he will be scooped up by one of the big schools or private schools. Alcoa did well this year and should be proud of that. All the talk about the split is a waste of time. It is what it is. Why do we question whether the wrestlers would have won had their been no split? Don't take that away from those boys that did win. They worked hard to earn a spot in the state tournament, except 1 that comes to mind that was added to the roster the day before the duels. Not mentioning any names here. That was addressed in a previous thread. Anyway, Congratulations A/AA medalists!! Keep up the good work.

I would have picked Cale Shelton from SM or Packy Mullin from ND, but not Evans, those 2 totally dominated the entire tournament. Evans struggled more than I had seen him do in the past. He seemed slow and out of shape. Still a great wrestler but not OW.

Can someone tell me who got the Outstanding Wrestler Awards for each division?

Who knows whether Alcoa or the family initiated it but Alcoa was happy to take him. He came home the day before duels is what I heard.

I read a lot of posts but never reply until now. I think the fact that Alcoa brought Sammy Evans back here to win for them is crap. I don't know who Alcoa had been wrestling at that weight all year long but hate it for them. They just get tossed aside to make room for this guy. I am sure he was made eligible based on some sort of hardship. I can't believe that some of the coaches didn't fight that decision. Anyway, I hope that somebody mops the map with him for trying to cheat his way to a championship.
