    context? huge win either way. 

    The duals were Freestyle so it wasn’t a major,  but a big win for Fowler either way. I didn’t see the match, but I believe Fowler won 8-1. He had a couple other ranked wins on the weekend too including a pin against the PA state champ. Dropped matches to Manville and Bouzakis. Hopefully Fowler is ranked after the big weekend and the NHSCA championship before that.

    Trae McDaniel is in.  EIWA gets four bids at 149 and the worst he can finish is fourth.  The guy who beat Trae in the main draw made the finals (against Yianni).  Trae has looked really really good. Just really impressed with how he is going about his business. 

    Weird. What I was looking at in Intermat said two. I’ll have to do more research.

    What a joke, it seems that between all the put downs and baseless accusations, all you can come up with an issue that happened 2 years ago. It is silly how people can hide behind a keyboard and use the word STATE as if they know what the state wants.

    Why is this post about a person, not how to help off set costs for Fargo?

    Why is a 2 year old issue a problem, if it was an issue at all, an issue now? If it is the only real issue people have with him, being that is the only real issue constantly brought up, than it is petty. It happened or it didn't, seems most people of the state have moved on. Grow up and let bygones be bygones, turn the other check, do the right thing help grow wrestle. Seems the leadership of wrestling are trying to ask to people help them with actual achievable solutions to real problems. 

    Lets unity under the olive branch of understanding and help find ways to improve wrestling in our state, I'll help raise money to reduce cost for Fargo.

    People keep saying to give solutions, and some have been thrown out there if you can navigate through all posts about Bowers. Like BQ said, treat it like any other national tournament. Let the kids pay their entry, and then everything else is the parent’s responsibility to take care of their child the way that’s best for them. It’s been posted that just last year the price was significantly less than the $1500 being asked for this year. I didn’t see everyone in an uproar over last year’s price. Maybe the simplest solution is just to copy what worked in the past. No need for change if you have something in place that works.

    Just like all other national tournaments parents and kids find their way and should not have to opt in to all the other options that just inflate cost.  I understand a cost for clothing and entry fees but if you will provide for yourself/kid why should you have to pay anything else.  If you as a parent are supplying the transportation,  food and hotel accommodations why would you need to pay these portions of the estimated cost as those items/cost should not be charged.  Camps- if you are going to Fargo and you havent been training with some of the best in the state by the best coaches you may need to rethink going.  We all know who to seek for training in TN whether your in Nashville or Chattanooga (not sure for Memphis or Knoxville).  Also these kids are 15 to 18 years old, why am I giving money to someone to then pay out an allowance daily.  How about I give the money to my son and he pays for his meals- just like 100% of the other national tournaments we enter every year.  I am excited to see the final plan when completed.   It's not that hard!!  Just another national tournament. 

    Exactly! There should NOT be a flat rate. The customers should have the choice to purchase what they want. If the parent doesn’t want to pay for their kid to go a camp, they should not have to. What if they only want to compete in one style? The price should be lower than a kid doing both styles. Why should a parent have to pay for lodging and travel if the parent is going as well? The kid can ride and stay with their parents to save money. I agree completely with what you said. This should be treated like any other national tournament. Just like any other business, you have to listen to your customers or you’ll be out of business. We’re already seeing alternatives pop up like the tournament Bosken posted. Overpricing of a product will lead to someone finding a better alternative.

    You guys can get mad at him for the insult all you want, and I’m not necessarily disagreeing. The insults should stay off the message boards. However, I do believe they are justified. $1500 to wrestle in a tournament is insane. The majority of our wrestling families will not be able to afford that. On top of that you’re forcing them to compete at 2 other tournaments before you even allow them the opportunity to compete at Fargo. One of those tournaments being in Georgia requiring a weekend in a hotel. Now you are looking at over $2000 just to wrestle at Fargo. This is just plain wrong. The #1 goal should be growing wrestling in TN, and getting as many of our top kids there as possible. We had some impressive results last year, and had the opportunity to expand on that this year. Charging this much money is not helping to achieve this goal. How can you justify this? How is this the best move for our state? I’m just dumbfounded over this decision. I’ve always thought Bowers took more heat than deserved in past years, but I can’t defend this. I believe it may be time for new leadership with our state’s best interest in mind.

    Bump, I usually agree with most of your posts and comments BUT Uhorchuk #4? I know your top 3 are all very even and it depends on the day as to who would win.  Braman and Uhorchuk have a common opponent in Gavin Nix from GA. Guess who beat Nix?  Im just saying that Uhorchuk might wrestle in the A/AA classification but that doesn't mean he cant run with the "big dawgs" from AAA or DII and if you're asking me, I think he LEADS THE PACK!

    I agree on Uhorchuk. The kid is a stud. With the absence of Trey Bates, he’s my top seed.  If Trey is there, then I would go with him over Uhorchuk.

    Cockman is no longer in the tourney after getting a crap 2nd unsportsmanlike in a match! Which def shouldn’t have been called at all! So he will finish with a 6th place finish 

    I hate to hear that, but am glad he wasn’t injured. I had assumed he was hurt when I seen the forfeit.

    I picked Trae, but Ivy has no reason to be ashamed. Ivy gave him a tough match, and may have got the pin himself had the match not been stopped for blood. He definitely proved to me that he can wrestle with Trae. Both have great careers ahead of them. I’m expecting Trae to get the championship and Ivy to come back for third. I think that match should of been the finals.

  22. AAA 126 lb Preview and Picks

    I can’t argue with this one. It’s the pick I’m probably the most confident in besides Kramer. I’ve only had the chance to see Palmer once this year at the Ryan tournament. He was just on another level. Dezember lost a close one in the semis to one of the out of state wrestlers. Several of us there were expecting a good finals match between that kid and Palmer. Palmer went on to take him down, turn him, and get the pin in about a minute. After watching that match I’d be surprised if Palmer has a close one this weekend.

    I was thinking the same thing about Isbell and Whiteside being the state finals. I actually went Isbell because I thought it favored him getting Whiteside earlier than the finals before he puts his weight back on. Whiteside is a big 132 and if that match was in the finals I think I’d have leaned towards him winning. I wouldn’t be surprised to see either of them come out on top.
