Good news we could see some of these match ups with the Best of Best duals this spring. It will be Freco but still.

Calm down there Chief, not need to get your singlet in a bunch. You named 1 kid from each of those schools. Cleveland landed 5 plus a couple in the youth program. Most of those kids moved to Cleveland because of wrestling. Jamison didn’t move because of wrestling, SH kid didn’t move because of wrestling. I can’t speak to the Hicks kid. WC always seem to find kids that land in their lap as well as you stated. Difference is Cleveland gets it done in the post season. But we can’t blame the kids for moving there. Like it was said before Cleveland has a very successful program and people want to be apart of that.

I don’t think anyone is questioning the work ethic of the Cleveland coaching staff. As they are second to none. But let’s be honest if you take the Fowler’s, Lucas and Jax out of that lineup Cleveland probably doesn’t win it this year. Fowler’s are from Blackman, Lucas from up north and spent a year in Williamson county and Jax from Texas. But you are correct people are attracted to successful programs.

Wonder if it could be because Eason didn’t wrestle after the FR tournament until sections and state due to injury. Maybe they thought he was done. Not sure about Brody though.

As I think it was mentioned in another comment. The reason for MidTn vs chatt was because if you wrestle for public schools around the chatt area you find your way to Cleveland or Bradley. Not saying the other schools don’t have good kids but those are always top 2. heck kids from Midtn find their way to Cleveland to wrestle.

But I do think Max beats Wittman.

Not sure if you watched the Jamison/Norman match. Jamison had Norman stuck in a cradle then slipped up and got pinned. I think that match will be closer than we think.

Let’s not make excuses for MS and feeders. When Pete took over they had no feeder and the MS and HS was a dumpster fire. Pete built both of those and is extremely active in the off season to make sure his program is where it is. Most coaches bounce after state tournament while Pete is still active in Freestyle/Greco, MS and kids club. Not saying the coaches aren’t worthy because they all sacrifice a lot of time. So let’s just call it a popularity contest over COY.

Nolansville and Franklin got Region 7 Coaches of the Year. This isn’t the first time Miller has been snubbed.

Injured

I never said I wasn’t for combining. I’ve been traveling with my son for over a decade. Cali, New York, ND, Pa, Va Beach, Michigan, Ohio so we don’t shy away from competition. I simply stated he could have found better sports for his argument.

Absolutely, not making excuses. Not sure what hole he pulled that rabbit from.

Those are the worst 3 examples you could have used to defend your case. A swimmer doesn’t need another swimmer to make them faster. A bowler doesn’t need another bowler to make him get strikes. A wrestler needs another wrestler to help them become better.

If your talking about the WC. He hasn’t wrestled anyone the caliber of Walker this year. I think he’s a little out of his league.

Sturgill and Walker are the 2 that have the best shot.

I think those 4 plus Nolansville. Those will be good for the next 5 years. Nolansville, Summit and Bradley don’t lose much.

Unfortunately the probably do understand the repercussions but financial benefits out weigh the best interest of the parents, kids and coaches. They see $$$$ and how much will be brought to the area.

I absolutely agree they could make some noise in consolations. Nolansville and Summit run Region 7 for the next couple years.

Desselle had wrestled 138 most matches for duals. I’m sure he will wrestle 138 question is does BC bump from Desselle….

Who do you have @132 for Summit?

Wow

Wow. That’s bold cotton. What weight classes does Summit win?

I’ll give my prediction and say it ends 30-30 with Summit win on criteria. Last time out they both won 7 matches. This time I think it’s 8-6 Summit.

That’s true. I forgot about that.

I know AA is double. Not sure about the rest
