Not a dual, so take this with a grain of salt, but Cleveland did score better than Flo's number 27, Detroit Central Catholic, at Carnahan. Detroit and Cleveland each had 12 wrestlers entered. If Cleveland had 14 they may have beaten Flo's number 28, Crown Point, as well (who had 14 entered). I think Cleveland in a dual setting is extremely competitive with anybody from say 20 to 40. Not too shabby. 1 Faith Christian Academy PA 2 Bishop McCort PA 3 Lake Highland Prep FL 4 Wyoming Seminary PA 5 Delbarton Prep NJ 6 Buchanan CA 7 Malvern Prep PA 8 St. Edward's OH 9 St. John Bosco CA 10 Blair Academy NJ 11 Stillwater OK 12 Brownsburg IN 13 Massillon Perry OH 14 Perrysburg OH 15 Edmond North OK 16 Clovis CA 17 Southeast Polk IA 18 Poway CA 19 Gilroy CA 20 Sunnyside AZ 21 St. Michael Albertville MN 22 Camden County GA 23 Green Farms Academy CT 24 Brecksville OH 25 Bethlehem Catholic PA 26 Dundee MI 27 Detroit Central Catholic MI 28 Crown Point IN 29 St. Peter's Prep NJ 30 St. John Vianney NJ 31 Allen TX 32 Bishop McDevitt PA 33 Slam Academy NV 34 Pomona CO 35 Christian Brothers NJ 36 Bergen Catholic NJ 37 St. Joseph Regional NJ 38 Clovis North CA 39 Layton UT 40 Skutt Catholic NE

No idea, just something that looked neat. I actually sort of doubt it because that last two years are at Iowa State which doesn't have a girls wrestling team (I don't think).

I was curious myself, for goodness sakes the girl has killed it all through her HS career. What google had to say (I didn't realize it is/was Quaker based): William Penn University provides the opportunity for an educational experience with a focus on leadership, technology, and the Quaker principles of simplicity, peace-making, integrity, community, and equality. I will say that this sounded neat. Throughout history, engineers have been among the most ingenious problem solvers in the world. Today, as technology advances faster than it ever has, the field of engineering is at the forefront of innovation, using physics, mathematics, computing, material science, and graphics to engineer solutions to some of the most vexing problems facing society. The engineering program at William Penn provides a unique opportunity, in the form of a 3+2 program of study through articulation of courses with Iowa State University leading to three major options–civil, industrial, or mechanical engineering. As a student in the program, you’ll spend three years completing foundational mathematics, physics, computer science, and intermediate engineering courses through the Applied Technology Division at William Penn, with hands-on labs, small class sizes and dedicated professors; the Penn Core curriculum including liberal arts and a focus on leadership; plus other science courses, economics, as suggested in your major plan. The final two years are completed at Iowa State University in your chosen department, focusing on your particular application area of interest. When you successfully complete the program, you will have earned a B.A. in Applied Technology from William Penn, and a B.S.C.E., B.S.I.E. or B.S.M.E from Iowa State.

I'm not excited about 13th and I doubt they are either, but like I said, not bad, not great. Looked back and you predicted top five. No, and you can't use the full team thing, most everyone is missing someone. Taking into account they are a TN public school, it is outstanding and I think that is your point. I'm not being negative on Cleveland. They are the best team in TN (for whatever that is worth). I do think over the next few years they could be a force on the national scene if their commitment to excellence maintains.

Cleveland finished 13th. Team stuff is always tricky to evaluate, but I did feel top 10 was optimistic. Nonetheless, not a bad showing, but not great either. Baylor finished 18th. Watching Jax and Bo from Bishop McCourt wrestle is enlightening. Good motors. Will be interesting to see how they translate to college D1. At this point boredom has to be setting in for them. I'm fully aware they already have wins over current college studs, but there is something to the day to day grind and peer awareness that can impact how they do over the long term. We will see.

I watched. Burton did a super good job of working Max's head with snaps and pulling Max in to only then go behind or get an easy takedown. Burton is definitely on a roll after coming in second at Beast of the East just a week or so ago. I went back and watched the Deane vs Burton quarters match as well. Hit the same head pull on Deane off the whistle. Deane did a better job adjusting for that but then got hit with various takedowns. All I can say on that is Burton and Cunningham are indeed making it look easy. Fowler had the best neutral defense of the three, but couldn't stop Asher's ground attack.

Agreed and Max beat Flo's number 8 to get there. I don't know if he beats Burton, but one thing is for sure nobody wrestles Max and has "fun". Nobody, kid really is a tank. Hopefully we can get Chancery vs Cy for Third.

Just watched Fowler pin the Flo's number eight at 165. Impressive. Gets Flo's number five at 175 in the quarters. At 172 Chancery Deane from Father Ryan, Fowler, and Max Norman are all in the quarters.

If you have flo you can watch Cody's match here, excellent comeback effort in his first dual of the year. https://www.flowrestling.org/events/13091173-2024-north-dakota-state-vs-iowa-state/videos?playing=13255889

Wow, the concussion protocol is over then (assuming Cody actually wrestles). That is great news and hopefully he can knock the competition rust off. To me, it makes zero sense to red-shirt Cody if he is healthy, he is too good to sit. Trae's last top twenty opponent beat him 17-0 (Ty Whalen), lets see if Trae can put it together against one of the best. Dupill got his first dual win (I think ever?) the week prior against UNI, a nice come from behind victory, watched that one. Started slow but stayed the course. Looks like maybe he will settle into the starting spot.

It is a tough one. The gap between the best and the average in high school has never been higher due to sport specialization. If a kid shows up, spends 30 seconds per match mopping up team guys that isn't his fault. If in another weight class the same happens, but the finals is a peer match (meaning elite on elite) then I'm going with whoever wins that final. However, remember this, coaches are busy coaching. They can't possibly watch every important match in every weight class. As a matter of fact the only match they might see for a kid not on their team is the finals. It follows then that the best finals performance determines the outcome for many coaches. If a kid wants to win, step 1, get to finals. Step 2, dominate in the finals (or perhaps an exciting victory against a fellow elite finalist). Now we can wait for wrestler dads and moms to stipulate the coaches all conspired against their kid, lol. No.

Concussion protocol, one of the flo guys was in the room the other day and reported that Chittum is a "savage" and needs to be back in the lineup ASAP if he has recooperated. After listening to them I think he returns and pushes Paniro and Echemendia back down to the weight classes they were last year. Trae has looked super confident and is wrestling at a really high level. Really enjoy watching him wrestle.

LoL, and take solace in that I pointed out your thread asking for help and gave him your email on page 2 of this thread. As you noted the wrestling will take care of the rankings. And for the record fellow board members I've emailed Hamm results over the years and surprise, surprise.... he adjusted them to account for what I sent.

For the reading and intelligence impaired: Hamm's contact in a thread from not too long ago. To spell it out for you, because you're on the struggle bus, simply email Hamm. Super nice dude and he will get it corrected.

And for those who don't know where to look. Tennessee Classifications

That is no joke. Cody seems like a nice young man and I enjoy watching him wrestle, but darn, he is going to be seriously old if he wrestles all of his eligibility. Might surpass Daton. I also wonder if he could beat Paniro Johnson? If he can't things are going to get tricky for Cody. He isn't big enough to go to 165 (watch what that huge 157 from App. State did to him last year) and Iowa State has another killer at 149 in Echemendia. Fun fact: Trae McDaniel wrestled Paniro just after Paniro graduated high school and almost pulled it off a win. Entertaining match to boot although Trae may or may not have thrown Paniro in a slightly illegal manner lol.

I know that, you know that, but that is better off left unsaid.. lol. Sometimes guys are great in the practice room and not great under the lights, coaches know which is which.

Last of the Lakeway big three left. I see he is down at 125, could be a good weight for him if the cut isn't too bad. Good start to the season with a win over a fifth year senior.

Completely overlooked Rob as I didn't realize he was wrestling for VMI. Have to go back and watch his matches. Good for Logan, I see he won the Colorado Mines Rookie Open.

Good catch on Jarvis, forgot about the Citadel Open as it was not available to stream, but I saw the brackets on Flo. Bryson was majored by the other 125, Noah Luna, perhaps they will wrestle off again.

Trae McDaniel is back from injury and looked fantastic as he took fourth place at the Princeton Open at 149lbs. Trae's only loss was to the eventual winner out of Princeton. Trae's performance was definitely the standout for this weekend. If you haven't watched Trae wrestle at the collegiate level then you should. Young man is freaking good plus he is fun to watch. Dayne Dalrymple beat Hunter Mason 3-0 in the VT and UTC dual. Tough match for both guys. I believer Hunter weighed in at 141 and wrestled up to meet Dayne. Dayne has really put on some size and was ready to compete. I believe Hunter beat Dayne last year so I'm sure Dayne enjoyed a little payback. Good to see two TN guys go at it. Dayne followed that up with a sixth place finish at the Southeast open. Hunter Mason took second Place in the Southeast Open at 141 pounds losing to Jayden Scott out of UNC in the finals. I felt like Hunter was improving in each and every match, wrestled Scott really tough in the finals and lost 4-0. I've seen Scott wrestle up close (two times) and that kid is no joke. Shoutout to Landon Desselle at OSU and wrestling at 149 lbs. He was pinned in his first match against Jack Crook but then reeled off four straight wins to earn a rematch against Crook. Lost 17-12 this time around, however, I was really impressed with his ability to rebound and remain calm, so while not medaling he performed really good in his first college tournament. Well done. Final note, looks as though Jackson Hurst is the starter at 165 for UTC. Good to see, he has paid his dues. Things didn't go exactly how he wanted in his first dual, but Jackson's effort is never less than maximum.

One thing I know for sure, Max Norman is a tank who happens to wrestle.
