Lots of schools in Middle TN could do that. Personally, I host two 8 mat high school tournaments at Siegel (Ramsey Rumble and JV State) with upwards of 600 kids. We usually start wrestling around 9 am and have never gone past 6 pm (typically done around 4:30 pm). We have also talked with other local clubs (Blackman, Iron Knights, Nolensville etc) about hosting in Middle TN and having multiple clubs help run tables etc. It could easily be done, especially with having different sessions. It's possible, but as far as I'm aware, when it has been brought up it has been denied because the powers at be said they did not want it to be held at a high school. However, that clearly isn't the case anymore as there is one now held at Cleveland High (I've heard they have done a great job). I personally think they should be held at High Schools. Let those young kids see and feel what a large local high school event would look like.

Good afternoon, The Ramsey Rumble (Dec 9th) event has been posted to TrackWrestling. I split it into 2 different events on TrackWrestling this year (Girls and Boys JV). If you are planning on going but didn't get the link, please email me at freemand@rcschools.net

Siegel High School hosts a Girls and JV boys tournament on Dec 9th (Ramsey Rumble) We also host JV State on January 27th.

In what regard? Are you looking for some specific information on something? I have lead meetings / discussions in the past, but there is no official title or anything. I just do it because it needs done. I would like to hold another zoom meeting coming up but just haven't been able to find time to schedule one.

I have heard that too. But is that for just boys are they moving to 14 for girls as well?

See some rule changes at the link below. 45 minutes --> 30 mins 5 matches --> 6 matches in one day (no more than 10 in 2 days) https://nfhs.org/articles/changes-in-high-school-wrestling-rules-include-allowance-of-six-matches-in-one-day-of-competition/

Nope. You will have to contact your TSSAA rep and convince them of your case and hope they will listen to you and fight for you. Best of luck with that. I would be surprised if any of them have any knowledge about wrestling, or for that matter, would give it too much thought or care. I begged my rep a few years ago to vote no on adding the sectional tournament and we all know how that turned out.

TSSAA Board of Controls meets May 4th. They will be deciding on the weight classes then.

Region 3 has it's Region Duals this weekend. I'm not sure if any were schedule to go out that way but I know that is why Siegel did not go last year.

It can be hard to rank / make changes when everyone is so spread out and you have to go searching for all of the results. Makes it harder when results aren't on track. Best of luck with these. If I can help let me know. I just have too much going on in my personal life to sit and hunt everything down.

The biggest take away from this weekend is that there are tons of girls who want to wrestle and represent their state. The girls program will only grow by giving opportunities to those who want to compete. If we only take teams and give opportunities to those who you may consider “good enough”, then what happens when they’re gone? Then we will be back at square one with inexperienced athletes. Our vision for the TNUSA Girls is to continue to grow our numbers and experience. We want to be able to put as many competitive teams together as possible not only at the High School level, but at the younger age groups as well. But again, you can’t grow the organization without developing and giving kids opportunities
