Districts have until the 28th of this month to be completed. Some districts like to schedule early to try and gain an advantage by having more time off in between teams and individual tournaments. TSSAA posts the competition dates online

They both lost to Gibbs last night and the difference in losing scores were 4 points. Gibbs beat Clinton by 19 and they beat halls by 15. Oh and CHS took two forfeit. Nevermind that Halls and Clinton have not and will not face each other as a team this season. I think real wrestling people know that it was close enough to find out the right way.

Sure. You are right. when things in today's world are inequitable, the best thing to do is to accept it and move on right? Its not okay to be upset because "little Johnny" is denied the chance to compete against a team that they should be allowed to in a situation where they should be in. Forgive me for saying anything about Halls. I'd recommend you to speak to coach Sayne and see how much of this is true or not true

Their region runner up title this year is going to need an *

Hard to say either way since he wouldn't wrestle the Clinton coach

So because the have won alot, other teams and kids should just suck it up when something unfair happens?

Also, I am sure you are aware of district rules that all coaches have to agree to the change of venue or on anything for that matter so just because Halls said that this is what is going to happen, doesn't mean it is supposed too if the other district coaches don't agree. The Halls coach does not make the decisions by himself for the entire district so that fact that the Clinton coach didn't agree doesn't make it a forfeit, it makes it where no district truly took place.

Clinton took the high road last night because I assume they know how special region duals can be for any wrestler and did not want a conflict between two teams to tarnish that for all involved. Trust me when I say this that there is a large group of wrestling coaches in this area right now that have lost a ton of respect for coach Sayne and as for the folks I know, they will no longer be taking their kids to Halls in the summer to be involved with coach Sayne in any way.

I can assure you that Halls did not agree to a true second match. In this sport, kids don't eat all day to maintain weight, you know that, and being at home adds to the difficulties of that. The Clinton coach made a choice to tell it was canceled when Fulton dropped the match. Kids started eating, drinking, relaxing and then the halls coach "was proactive" in finding this match. If he cared about kids and cared about the sport, he would of honored the true second regardless because it was the right thing to do but instead he was scared of the narrative that little ol Clinton had a chance to kick Halls out of region duals. I have heard from a reliable source that the AD at Clinton was on the phone with the AD and head principal at Halls until 4:30 yesterday begging for the true second match to take place but they would not and did not agree. Because of that, the AD at Gibbs said that whatever is going to happen after the championship match last night(i.e. the true second) it needed to be agreed upon before arriving to Gibbs. Since there was no agreement, Clinton knew going in to the duals the true second wasn't an option and left after their match.

Also, I’d say we owe it to kids to not just assume a team would win but rather actually winning. If this was football or basketball we wouldn’t even be having this conversation

Also, word on the street is that Clinton didn’t want to cause a scene and ruin a big night for a lot of high school kids by putting a stain on the evening so they made a grown up decision to not cause an altercation

You would think, but that didn’t work either

The real word is that the match was hosted by Fulton who canceled and then sayne calls AC to find a neutral site for district but by that time both the Fulton and Clinton coaches told their teams it was canceled. Where ever you get your word ask them if Fulton wrestled too? Fulton canceled on districts, it was their host for this year

Halls and coach Sayne declined the option to wrestle in the true second. Principal, AD, and coach all said no to the true second and the difference in the loss to Gibbs by both teams was 4 points. Clinton tried everything to get a fair shake…wrestle before, wrestle after, wrestle a different day…flip a coin and even to no avail

Has to be some fair way to decide. Not just one team making all the rules as they go. especially when the rules end up giving them the 1 seed to go against carter in the first round and secure a trip to sectional just by claiming they are the 1.

But how many times is it decided by one team making the final choice for the whole district, who happens to be the only team without a district match or win? Halls simply said, "Knox wont let us compete tonight, but I found another gym to go to, if you don't show up its a forfeit? True second for region if both teams fall to Gibbs is what my buddy told me.

Halls has wrestled no members of their district and due to Fulton having to cancel last Thursday because Knox county said only practice, Halls is trying to say the other teams could meet at ACHS and wrestle which isn’t even a region school. Clinton and Fulton believed it to be canceled and now Halls is using a kangaroo Court to try and steal the district 1 seed. Clinton has asked for a true second match at regions tonight since halls and them haven’t faced each other but halls would rather steal. Sad that this historic program would sink this low just to win

Well from what I hear some CC parents are going to let B. Childress be the judge of that...#3seedregardless

One thing that @RealNews865 can’t do is actually talk/coach ball. I think CC can nickel and dime the OR defense and win in a shoot out. I’m takin CC with a 42-35 win.

Stop taking the high road Vil

Nothing is “clean” in OR. Not since Gaddis sold his soul

Oak ridge kids who still live in Karns...heard a CC parent may have turned them in. Must want that 3rd seed in the playoffs

Okay Pookie

Stalking IS against the law, but what is not is people being so tired of you and your bull that they would rather see their own school turned in then to have you around anymore. See your problem is you talk to much, and you think that the people you talk to in confidence don’t tell other folks. You want it to be some other guys so bad because you know deep down I have to be someone close to you. You should of kept your friends close and your enemies even closer

Sorry wrong again sir, I’m a little closer to the situation than those two coaches, but I know that your the guy who parked your broke down car in the drive way of an oak ridge address so that people actually thought you moved...smh all that work for 2-7?
