You're The Man!! What time does wrestling start?

I can't find them either. I am really curious to see how Arlington, Beech, and Halls all did against these other teams. I would love it if somebody could post the team scores of each dual wrestled on saturday, or at least post a link to where we could find that info.

No, I don't think it matters at all in terms of who would win the tournament. All 4 pools all loaded and every team in the tournament will see very good competition Saturday. I was more of wondering if coaches asked to be on opposite ends of certain teams, or if it was truly a blind drawn. I believe that is a typo, but if those two schools combined teams than that is my pick to win the tournament! lol

Are the pools seeded or blind drawn? Or do coaches ask to wrestle/not wrestle certain teams?

Do you know who would have access to the results of the catholic tournament? It's not on track and I haven't seen a thread for the tournament.

Congrats to WC!!! Were any key wrestlers for either school not in the line up yet due to weight descent plans?

Thanks! I'm a struggling middle school ISS teacher so I'm looking for more on the free side lol I contacted Diamond Clear Media about covering wresting as they already cover 11 schools in other sports, two of those being Heritage and Halls.

Are there any websites or broadcasts that teams use to stream their matches online? I have seen a few people post links to live matches but I haven't seen any that upload those matches for later viewing? Diamond Clear Media is a great platform but they only cover football and basketball, does anyone know of any other similar sites for wrestling?

It made more sense when regions were more concrete and didn't change as rapidly. It's hard to say "South Doyle/Central gets to host this year because Farragut host last year" when Farragut isn't even in 5A anymore.

That is correct.

I think this may be the best game in the area this Friday, I pick South Doyle but in a much closer game than last time.

100% "Ditto" lol

8 for 8!!! I am walking into work this morning feeling like I am an expert! lol This quarterfinal round will be more difficult to predict though as I feel like they could all go either way.

Going down the line for all 8 Games: Knox Central over Sevier County South Doyle over Halls Oak Ridge over Knox West Knox Catholic over Fulton Summit over Page Beech over Hillsboro Henry County over Munford Brighton over Southwind

I agree about Oak Ridge! With AC and Clinton recently starting programs a few years ago, I can't imagine it will be too much longer before we have wrestling at OR and CC.

They are both in the prep-extra area and used to wrestle every year. If they did last year, who came out on top?

Although they are not really known for their wrestling program, Fulton High School has probably won more total state championships in the last 15 years when combining ALL sports between football, basketball, and track etc. than any other school in Tennessee (no research done- just know they have won multiple in each- so I apologize if I am wrong). I have heard that Fulton's Athletic director tells his coaches to encourage their athletes to play as many sports as possible, and I personally have heard him say that he wishes every athlete would play 3 sports each- one in the fall, one in the winter, and one in the spring. I know they have phenomenal athletes and amazing coaches, but I believe this type of mindset from the administration has to have played a large part in their school's athletic success across multiple sports.

I would expect for GIbbs to have a big impact on A/AA this year!

I watched your football team play last week and noticed a lot of really big guys that could move pretty well on that offensive line. Tell Coach to send two or three of them to the wrestling room after school and you guys should be able to find a solid heavy weight to fill that slot!

What was the score the last time you two played and where did that fall on the time line for central and their injuries?

I agree with you, but to be fair, I believe any region would have struggled with those four. You could say region 4 struggled, as Catholic was the only team to make it past the 1st round.

We have heard all year about how bad Region 2 is this season yet they somehow managed to sweep Region 1 this past Friday. Are these teams better than people are giving them credit or are they just lucky in seeding? Either way- who is going to win this Friday between Sevier County vs. Central and Halls vs. South Doyle? And who wins the following week to advance to the semifinals? ....OR does nobody even care about this bracket because everyone is assuming this winner will get killed in the semi finals anyways? My Prediction: Central over Sevier County, South Doyle over Halls, then South Doyle over Central next week.

I think SC will win tonight but I wouldn't call them a lock in for the semi's. In fact, I could see 3 possible teams from that side of the bracket making it to the semifinals and I don't think they are even one of those 3.

Are these your top teams or top teams based off of rankings?

This is an example of why I believe BC, Cleveland, Soddy and ALL the other Chattanooga area teams will always be on top: Your young guys are already out there on the mat competing, while in Knoxville our middle school sign-ups were Monday after school. Don't get me wrong, this is not a knock on any Knoxville program in any way; I am just recognizing the difference in the wrestling culture of the Chattanooga are compared to the rest of the state. But with that being said, congrats to BB Middle!!!
