133: Brayden Palmer Conner Quinn (Maryland), MD, W, 8-0 McGwire Midkiff (N.D.

Maybe Brayden Palmer just needs a little jolt from time to time. In both his quarterfinal and semifinal matches at the 2023 Southern Scuffle at McKenzie Arena, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga junior 133-pounder quickly fell behind due to takedowns, yet in both cases rallied back to claim victories over ranked opponents to advance to the championship round. That made him only the second Mocs wrestler in school history to do so and the first to advance to the final at the prestigious in-season tournament since Nick Soto in 2012. "I don't know if falling behind angers me. I feel like sometimes I start a little bit slow in tournaments," Palmer said Monday. "I always kind of wrestle worse than normal." Similar to his wrestling style, Palmer had a slow start to his college career, which started at Clarion, a Division I program in Pennsylvania. In two years there he saw action in just nine matches before deciding to transfer to UTC, which is closer to his hometown of Hendersonville. That's probably why it took a while for him to realize he had the potential to be pretty good at the sport in college, with last season's Scuffle being the turning point. He also said that he had needed to change "some lifestyle habits." It's safe to say, that's happened. "I'd lost the first match here a year ago and I was afraid I'd go 0-2, and I didn't want to do that," Palmer said. "Then I got the first one, then I got three or four (straight wins) and I was like, 'Alright, I can do this at this level. "At the beginning of last season, I would kind of freak out a little bit, but I've learned over the last year that no matter what, I'm just going to stay calm and keep wrestling and this stuff will happen." After that opening round loss last year, Palmer won seven consecutive matches to take third in his weight class. He then added four more wins for a streak of 11 consecutive victories over two years at the Scuffle prior to his 7-3 loss in Monday's championship round to nationally second-ranked and three-time All-American and NCAA runner-up Daton Fix from Oklahoma State. But the run included consecutive ranked victories for the 27th-ranked Palmer, who defeated 16th-ranked Ramazan Attasauov of Iowa State and Minnesota's Aaron Nagao, who is ranked 21st. UTC head coach Kyle Ruschell was slightly disappointed he didn't have more team members still wrestling Monday -- he entered the day with just two wrestlers remaining, with 285-pounder Logan Andrew winning two consolation matches Sunday before being eliminated Monday morning -- but is pleased by the progress and the performance of Palmer. "Anytime that Chattanooga singlet is out there in the finals, it's good, right?" Ruschell said. "Especially in our home tournament. Brayden can do special things, and when everything's right, he can do stuff like that. He's hard to score on and guys know that; he can make a couple of mistakes and still win, so I'm proud of him. "It's his world, man. I knew he had some gifts when he got here, but the way he watches his weight, to his expectation of being an All-American or a national champion, it's real. It's not something he's saying." Contact Gene Henley at ghenley@timesfreepress.com.

Me too Bret

From Chattanoogan… Palmer Advances To Semis In Southern Scuffle Wrestling Sunday, January 1, 2023 Day one is in the books for the Southern Scuffle, presented by Compound Sportswear. McKenzie Arena was treated with high drama and a fantastic performance from sophomore Brayden Palmer. Palmer marched to the semifinals with three wins. 

He opened with a dominating 8-0 major decision over Maryland’s Connor Quinn. The round of 16 matchup with McGwire Midkiff was a little more dramatic.

The 3-1 win was clinched in the first period with a takedown. Both wrestlers escaped from the down position in the second and third periods as Palmer thwarted every Bison attempt in the third. The quarterfinals saw No. 16 Ramazan Attasauov of Iowa State in the crosshairs. He went up 4-2 before a late Palmer takedown sent it to the third knotted 4-all. Palmer escaped 19 seconds into the period for the 5-4 lead and then this happened with 0:06 left for the 7-4 decision. "It's a big deal," Coach Kyle Ruschell began. "Anytime we get somebody in the semifinals is good. Brayden is really hard to finish on. He's really good and can do some special things."

Logan Andrew made sure his 133 would not be lonely on Monday. He claimed a takedown with 10 seconds to go against Little Rock’s Apollo Gothard in the fourth round of consolations to advance to day two. He lost his round of 16 match in overtime before a strong 6-2 decision over Jake Andrews (CSU Bakersfield) in his first wrestle back.

"He's figuring out how to be a heavyweight," Ruschell added. "He who went from 97 took all year last year off. He had about 10 matches at the weight class coming in, so he's figuring out how to wrestle heavyweight."

Palmer takes the mat for the semifinals against Minnesota’s Aaron Nagao which starts at 1 p.m., Monday, with the 125 class. Andrew is on the docket after the restart for the fifth round of consolations against Stanford’s Peter Ming opening the day at 11 a.m. Follow @LetsScuffle and @UTCWrestling on Twitter for updates.

Immediate NIL Changes at TSSAA level… MURFREESBORO — The TSSAA will allow student-athletes to receive Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) payments under certain parameters after the Legislative Council amended the organization's amateur rule Thursday. The rule change is effective immediately and will allow athletes to make money from giving lessons and/or personal ventures — like selling merchandise through personal social media or receiving sponsorships — not related to their on-field performance as long as there is no TSSAA or member school involvement. Athletes are not allowed to use their school jersey or any other TSSAA-affiliated insignia while performing or promoting the activity. And they are not allowed to be paid for how they perform. https://www.mainstreetpreps.com/county/cheatham/tssaa-will-allow-nil-payments-for-tennessee-student-athletes-under-certain-parameters/article_86addb0c-7714-11ed-bf7f-df63cd3d574d.html

The current athletic director at Bradley Central High School won 55 consecutive wrestling matches during his final two years at UTC. He was named Tennessee’s 1976 Amateur Athlete of the Year and is in UTC’s Hall of Fame. He was among athletes representing nine different sports who have etched their names in the history books locally, nationally and internationally. Among the honorees are an Olympic medal winner, the first NHL player born in Alabama and the first black athlete to play in the Alabama High School Athletic Association state championship. The Huntsville-Madison County Athletic Hall of Fame banquet, presented by TOC, will be Monday, April 10, 2023 at the Von Braun Center’s South Hall. The class of 2023 was selected by a vote of the Hall of Fame board of directors after receiving nominations from the public. The members of the Class of 2023 also include: Adam Bass (baseball), Darrell Blackburn (football), David Cain (coaching/track and field), Kenyon Hambrick (football), Margaret Hoelzer (swimming), Holly Richards (volleyball/coaching), Jared Ross (ice hockey), Marvin Stone (basketball), Dr. Warren Strickland (outdoors), Jon Sumrall (football) and Gary Wagner (football). The Special Achievement Award will be presented to Danny Treadwell, who played one season at Butler High School and led the Rebels to the state championship, enduring the taunts of fans as he was the lone black player on the floor at Tuscaloosa’s Foster Auditorium. Gary Wagner was an All-State football player at Grissom and state wrestling championship finalist. He spent his freshman year in college at Wake Forest before transferring to Jacksonville State, where he was named All-Gulf South Conference and Little All-American Adam Bass played for Madison Academy and UAH before pitching five years in the minors in the Arizona and San Diego systems, ending his career in Japan. Darrell Blackburn, a Butler graduate, started at linebacker at Alabama as a freshman. However, his promising career was cut short by a degenerative kidney disease that ultimately necessitated a transplant. David Cain, who participated in track and field and cross country at Grissom High and Mississippi State, has been the track and field and cross country coach, for both men’s and women’s teams, at the University of Alabama in Huntsville since 1998, He is an eight-time Gulf South Conference Coach of the Year and his teams have won a total of 15 GSC team titles, including the men’s track and field championship in 2022. Kenyon Hambrick, a J.O. Johnson graduate, played wide receiver for Alabama A&M, where he caught 102 passes and scored 14 touchdowns in two seasons. He was signed by the Baltimore Ravens and spent two years on their practice squad, and one season in Frankfurt in NFL Europe before returning home and starring for the Tennessee Valley Vipers. Margaret Hoelzer, a Huntsville High and Auburn graduate, won three medals in the 2008 Summer Olympics at Beijing, and was also on the U.S. team in 2004. She set a world record in the 200 meter backstroke during the 2008 Olympic trials. She was a 22-time All-American and won six national titles at Auburn. Holly Richards was a star volleyball player at Westminster Christian Academy and went on to become a second-team All-SEC choice at Alabama. She has coached for a quarter-century with club, college and high school teams, winning a state title at McGill-Toolen in 2004 and has won back-to-back titles in 2021 and 2022 at Westminster. Jared Ross, the son of the late UAH hockey coach Doug Ross, a 2008 Hall of Fame inductee, was signed by the Philadelphia Flyers after his UAH career and in 2008 became the first Alabama-born and raised player to appear in an NHL game. He wrapped up his pro career with five seasons in Germany. Marvin Stone was a high school All-American at Grissom, which he led to the 1999 state championship. He signed with the University of Kentucky, then transferred to Louisville after 2 ½ years with the Wildcats, scoring 10.3 points per game for the Cardinals as a senior. Dr. Warren Strickland, a widely respected cardiologist, has been a nationally renowned bowhunter and archer, producing a plethora of hunting-related videos and programs. He is also an active conservationist, with more than a dozen years as a member of the Alabama Conservation Advisory Board. Jon Sumrall was a two-time All-State football selection at Grissom and lettered three years as a linebacker at the University of Kentucky. After serving as assistant coach at a number of schools, including Kentucky, Ole Miss, Tulane and San Diego, he was named head coach at Troy University last December. He led the Trojans to an 11-2 season and a Cure Bowl bid. —————————— Huge!!! You familiar?? Hardin Valley's Matthew Bates wins high school coaching Broyles Award for Tennessee The president of the Tennessee Football Coaches Association was honored for his efforts at Oak Ridge High in 2021 Former Oak Ridge defensive line coach Matthew Bates was awarded the 2022 High School Broyles Award for Tennessee on Monday at the Capital Hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas. The award recognizes the best assistant high school football coaches, and Bates won the award for his time in 2021. “To win it for Tennessee, it was a very humbling experience, very much an honor to be mentioned with all the past college Broyles Award winners,” Bates said. “It's more of a group award, honestly. I feel like there’s so many guys I’ve been blessed to coach, really it’s a reflection of them. “It's an honor for not just me, but it's all the people that have invested in me and worked with me and that I got the opportunity to work with.” The Broyles Award, named after famed Arkansas coach Frank Broyles, started as a recognition given to assistant college football coaches. In 2019, the award incorporated high school assistant coaches and now considers 22 different states. “High school coaches, especially assistant coaches, get the recognition that they deserve for their hard work, the time and effort that they put (in), the sacrifices that they make,” said Clayton Harrell, executive director of the High School Broyles Award. "What we're trying to build is a fraternity of coaches and a network." Along with his coaching duties, Bates is the president of the Tennessee Football Coaches Association. He joined the board of directors in 2017 when he was the head coach at Clay County and became the interim president in September 2021. Bates was later voted president unanimously last December. Bates said maintaining his role as an assistant coach, a full-time teacher and president of an association is a “balancing act.” He credits his wife, Kari, for her understanding of the demand of his career and the other members of the board of directors who support him. He said one of his biggest coaching influences is Jerry Joslin, his former high school football coach at Cookeville. Bates is now an assistant football coach, assistant track and field coach and wrestling coach at Hardin Valley Academy. https://www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/high-school/2022/12/07/matthew-bates-high-school-football-broyles-coaching-award-oak-ridge-hardin-valley-tn/69709457007/

Good press from TriCitiesSports… David Crockett, Volunteer, Cherokee, Tennessee High Among Schools With New Region, District Assignments as TSSAA Approves Next Classification Cycle by STEVE WILMOTH TriCitiesSports.com November 22, 2022 MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – In last week’s Board of Control Meeting, the TSSAA approved, after hearing around 20 appeals, the next cycle of classifications for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years and corresponding district and regional assignments for each of its sanctioned sports. Locally, that means significant changes for Volunteer, David Crockett, Cherokee and Tennessee High Schools. The most significant changes come for Volunteer and David Crockett where the Pioneers are sliding down to Class AA in multiple sports, and largely as a result, the Falcons will move from District 1 to District 2 in many of those same sports. For basketball, baseball and softball, Crockett goes from Class AAAA to Class AAA joining District 1-AAA with Elizabethton, Sullivan East, Tennessee High and Unicoi County. Crockett also moves from District 1-AAA to District 1-AA in soccer joining those same schools. Additionally, the Pioneer track and field and cross country programs are on the move, relocating from District 1-AAA to District 1-AA in track and from Region 1-AAA to Region 1-A/AA in cross country. “The change in classification for David Crockett High School athletics will allow much greater opportunities for our student-athletes,” said David Crockett Athletic Director Josh Kite. “For years we have competed and had much success in our current classification. However, our main purpose is to help athletes have equitable opportunities, fair competition as well as academic success. I firmly believe the new classification will be very beneficial to our entire athletic program.” However, one sport unaffected at David Crockett is volleyball. Like soccer, volleyball is also a three-classification sport, but each is sport is divided equally by the number of participating schools and that number varies just enough that Crockett lands in Class AA for soccer, but AAA in volleyball. The Pioneers’ exit from Class 4A in basketball leaves the both District District 1-AAAA and District 2-AAAA with just four teams each. It’s interesting to nate that with four teams advancing to the Region 1 Tournament from both districts, no team will be eliminated in any district tournament and all eight have already qualified for the 2024 and 2025 Region 1-AAAA Tournaments. With Crockett’s new assignment in basketball, baseball and softball, Volunteer will slide into District 2-AAA and into District 2-AA for soccer along with Cherokee, Claiborne, Grainger and Greeneville. “I think it is exciting for Volunteer High School. The new classification will provide at least two years of playing opponents that we have not played traditionally,” said Volunteer Athletic Director Jeremy Bailey. “We have played Grainger in numerous events recently and an out of county rivalry has started to formulate with highly competitive games. Playing Greeneville will give our student athletes an opportunity to play against some of the best talent in East Tennessee, in turn, making our players better. The Cherokee games being a District game will add an extra amount of significance to that already storied rivalry. And in an unexpected move, Volunteer also joins District 2-AA volleyball with those same four and Union County. District 1-AA volleyball’s jumbling started with Tennessee High’s move back to Class AAA after two years in Class AA. But instead of leaving the remaining members of District 1-AA volleyball status quo, the TSSAA opted to make the interesting relocation of Chuckey-Doak and Greeneville into District 1-AA from District 2-AA and move Volunteer from District 1-AA to District 2-AA. While the move surprised many, no appears were heard from any of those schools affected at last week’s meeting. “We will stay focused on controlling what we can control from within our programs, and I believe Volunteer will be successful in any District that they are placed in, now and into the future,” continued Bailey. “Change is often met with opposition, but Volunteer will embrace this change with a positive mindset, build new relationships, provide hospitality for our ‘new’ opponents, represent Hawkins County to the best of our abilities, and go places we have never gone before.” Bailey said all Volunteer sports will likely seek to continue its longstanding District 1 relationships. “We hope to secure some of the District 1 teams in non-conference play to continue the traditions and friendships among coaches that have been developed with Sullivan East, Tennessee High, Elizabethton, and Unicoi County,” advised Bailey. “At the end of the day, if our teams take care of business, we will see some of those similar foes in Region anyway. In football, the vast majority of Region 1 & Region 2 remain unchanged. However, Cherokee is moving from Region 1-5A to Region 1-4A while Northview Academy comes up from Region 1-3A to Region 1-4A. Thus, Seymour slides out of Region 1-4A to Region 2-4A. Coming into Region 1-3A replacing Northview are Gatlinburg-Pittman and Pigeon Forge with Kingston moving from Region 3-3A to Region 2-3A. West Greene’s reclassification moves the Buffaloes out of Region 1-3A as well and into Region 1-2A along with Eagleton College and Career Academy, a new school opening this fall in Blount County. The TSSAA initially moved York Institute and Midway from Region 2-2A to Region 3-2A but York appealed, and won, and will stay in Region 1-2A along with newcomer Bledsoe County.

Uhorchuk trio leads Signal Mountain wrestling team hungry for more titles November 17, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. by Patrick MacCoon Staff file photo by Patrick MacCoon / Signal Mountain sophomore Ethan Uhorchuk, left, has a pair of individual state titles and helped the Eagles win their first team state championship with the TSSAA Class A duals title last winter. For those hoping Signal Mountain might slack off on the wrestling mats after breaking through to win its first team state championship this past February, bad news awaits. The Eagles return 11 of 14 starters from the lineup that won the TSSAA Class A state duals title, including all three Uhorchuk brothers: Caleb (senior), Ethan (sophomore) and JoJo (freshman). The influential trio combined for 127 wins and just three losses in a memorable 2021-22 season, and they are hungry for even greater success. "It's challenging to get to the top, but it's even harder to stay there," Ethan said. "We have worked all summer because we didn't win the state traditional tournament. We really want to accomplish that. The energy is high in our wrestling room, and we continue to push ourselves because we want to win it all." Caleb, who has committed to wrestle in college for Army, led the Eagles with 45 wins last season on his way to winning a third straight individual state championship. He pinned all four opponents on the way to the 120-pound weight class title after winning at 113 as a sophomore and 106 as a freshman. Ethan pummeled his opponents to earn 59 points in his final three matches at state that ended with technical falls in the 113-pound bracket. JoJo lost 3-1 in the 106-pound final to Greeneville's Carson Dupill for his only defeat of the season despite wrestling as an eighth grader against varsity competition. Over the summer, JoJo won a middle school national championship, Caleb became a two-time All-American with a third-place finish at high school nationals in Virginia Beach, and Ethan placed at the Grappler Fall Classic in Michigan. "The Uhorchuk brothers don't know what an off day is," Signal Mountain coach Houston Clements said. "We will come in and lift and then practice. After we are done, they go downtown to the Minion training center for a whole new practice. They are such a great influence on the other guys. They set the tone for this team with their work ethic. A lot of these guys have come up seeing the Uhorchuks dominate the mats, and that becomes the expectation." Sophomore Jackson Davis is also expected to be a state champion contender at 160 pounds after piling up 35 wins to go with region and sectional individual titles in his first season. Daniel Odom and Jackson Owens are back after winning 30-plus matches last season despite wrestling through injuries. Ian Bryant and Jaxon Quails are returning state qualifiers, and Brandon Clifford, Luke Higdon, Eben Shriner and Jacob Winchester could provide even more quality to the lineup. The Eagles are not short of great minds, either, as the coaching staff is seven deep, including assistant coach/athletic director Brian Beasley, who helped lead Georgia's Chattooga High School to a state title in 2020. "Everyone getting a taste of winning state last year was great," Clements said. "We want to stay on top, so we are working hard and grinding every day. These guys are already in midseason form, and we haven't even started." Contact Patrick MacCoon at pmaccoon@timesfreepress.com.

Legendary Osceola High wrestling coach, AD, Jim Bird, stepping down Bird said. “We have children in Atlanta and Chattanooga and this move will put us a lot closer to them.” With a streak that started with Alex Eggers winning the 140-pound championship in 2007, Bird has coached at least one individual state wrestling champion for 16 consecutive years. His teams have finished in the top six of the March tournament for the same 16 years, including winning a state team title in 2009 and finishing second five times (2007, 2008, 2010, 2013, and 2014). In all, 17 different wrestlers have claimed a total of 32 state championships under Bird. In the five years since the FHSAA added a State Dual Championship, Bird’s teams have never failed to advance to at least the quarterfinals of that event, finishing as state runner-up in 2020. https://www.aroundosceola.com/sports/legendary-osceola-high-wrestling-coach-ad-jim-bird-stepping-down

Shawnee native Jordan Leen named head wrestling coach at Brown University New Brown University head wrestling coach Jordan Leen. University of Pittsburgh Athletics June 16, 2022 in Sports FacebookTwitterEmailWhatsAppShare By Mike Henry Special to the Shawnee News-Star Shawnee native Jordan Leen has been named the new head wrestling coach at Brown University. He is the son of former Shawnee High School mat legend Mark Leen and will replace Todd Beckerman who stepped down in May. The 36-year-old brings an impressive record as a competitor that includes being a four-time Tennessee High School state champion and prep All-American. He was a three-time collegiate All-American for national power Cornell University where he won the NCAA title at 157 pounds in 2008. His move to Brown marks a return to the Ivy League where he finished his career as a three-time first-team All-Ivy honoree with a perfect 17-0 mark against conference opponents in addition to winning a pair of EIWA crowns. The four-time NCAA qualifier wrapped up his impressive wrestling career for the Big Red with a 118-29 mark that ranked him sixth in the Cornell record books for career wins. Jordan was born in Shawnee in 1985, the year before his dad led the Wolves to being named the nation’s number one team and his selection as Wrestling USA Magazine’s National Coach of the Year. Mark Leen went on to win three national titles with Garden City (Kan.) Community College followed by three conference championships as head coach at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga. He was inducted into the Oklahoma Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2015. In 2019, Jordan was named to the Cornell University Hall of Fame. He began his own coaching career as an assistant at Duke (2010-11) and associate head coach/ lead recruiter at the University of Virginia for six years followed by another six seasons in a similar position at Pittsburgh University. Brown is located in Providence, Rhode Island and has one of the nation’s oldest mat programs dating back to 1898. The new coach is nationally recognized as one of the outstanding recruiters in college wrestling. “Jordan is a high character individual that has the experience and mentality it takes to build an elite team and will make an immediate impact,” said Pittsburgh’s head coach Keith Gavin. “He is great at developing student-athletes and he is a very effective recruiter.” Leen and his wife Paige are the parents of three children. Note: Henry, the writer of this story, is a former Shawnee High School and state champion wrestling coach https://www.news-star.com/2022/06/16/shawnee-native-jordan-leen-named-head-wrestling-coach-at-brown-university/

from the Chattanoogan… UTC Wrestling Adds Trio Of Transfers For 2022-23 Season Thursday, June 9, 2022 Head Chattanooga Wrestling Coach Kyle Ruschell announced the addition of Logan Ashton, Jacob Boyd and Rocky Jordan to the 2022-23 squad on Thursday morning. “We have a very exciting group of transfers being added to our team,” said Ruschell. “These three guys are bringing their own unique experiences that I believe have the potential to take our program to the next level. “Of course they are all great athletes, but each of them also graduated from their previous colleges with above a 3.5 GPA, proving their work ethic transcends beyond the wrestling room which is falls in line with our expectations here - that everyone needs to be working hard on and off the mat.” Ashton will make his way to the Scenic City from Stanford, where he competed at 125 pounds for the Cardinal last season. He went 8-7 overall last year and registered two pins. He qualified for the NCAA Championships after winning the Pac-12 Tournament. The Buford, Ga. native defeated Virginia’s Patrick McCormick in the opening round before losing his next two matches. Ashton has three years of eligibility remaining. Ruschell on Ashton: “Logan qualified for the NCAA’s last year at 125 pounds and he will bring great things to this program. He wrestles hard and is really good on top, he’ll be a fun one to watch kick off the momentum for the team.” Boyd comes to Chattanooga with one year of eligibility remaining. He competed at Oklahoma from 2017-22. He held a 21-28 career record and wrestled at 197 pounds and heavyweight. In 2021-22, he went 1-0 with his lone match and win coming via fall on senior night. He was named to the All-Big 12 Academic First Team. The 2022-23 season will be Boyd’s last year of eligibility. Ruschell on Boyd: “Jake was a highly recruited athlete out of high school and just hasn’t had the opportunity to have a consistent spot in a starting lineup. We are the perfect fit to allow him to make some noise on the national level. Bringing a big guy like Jake in our room is also going to help push us in the upper weights.” Jordan competed in the Big Ten at Ohio State from 2018-2022. He holds a 49-16 record in his career and posted a 12-7 mark last season. Jordan is a two-time NCAA Qualifier (2020, 2021), a NWCA Scholar All-American and a three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree. In addition to his accolades on the mat, he received Ohio State’s Highest Grade-Point Average Award last season. Jordan comes to Chattanooga with two years of eligibility remaining. Ruschell on Jordan: “Rocky is a solid wrestler that has already reached the Round of 12 in his career. He has lived and breathed this sport his entire life and has seen it all. I’m confident Chattanooga is going to be his sweet spot where we can help him reach his goals.”
