While this should be a sold-out event, I have my doubts if the MBA gymnasium will even be half full of paying spectators.  

Unlike you cbg, some of us have to work for a living!

A friend just informed me that the numbers for this years tournament was over 550 entries which is great news.  After following Tennessee wrestling for over 50 years I don’t ever remember Tennessee having over 300 kids at the state tournament.  If those numbers are correct I could see having 700+ kids wrestle in the tournament next year.  We’re there any good matches at the tournament?

Just think how much faster it would grow if we separated it out to small town/medium town/big city!  We could have 3 state champs in FS and Greco.  Participation would skyrocket.

D2 prediction:

 

Father Ryan takes down Baylor to win their first title since 2017.

Gotta beat MBA first!

The Poll is primarily a measure of dual meet strength

MBA beat Summit Tuesday night.  And finished ahead of Summit in the Ryan Tournament.

Surely you don't believe the coaches would ignore head to head matchup wins, one fairly decisive.  I can't imagine they would be deliberately prejudice against a HS kid.  Must be some other reason, or like Umm said, it doesn't really matter.

Again....

 

its voted on by the coaches. If you're not a fan of the list (or my guess is you or your son was left off) go complain to the coaches that voted. 

Not complaining, just trying to understand the process.  If head to head is not considered and it's more a popularity vote, I'm fine with that.

I just assumed the Dream Team was to acknowledge the best wrestlers in each weight class from middle Tennessee, and not just to whomever.  Thanks, I stand corrected.
