Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year?

I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book?

It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well. 

I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode.

i kid, I kid. Sort of.

I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?

Oh how quickly we forget (or maybe some never knew)…

 

Nick Marable (CBHS) made the 2014 US Freestyle World Team at 70 kg and wrestled in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.  Nick was 2-1 at the event finishing in 8th after losing to multi-time world medalist Shabanov of Belarus.  He holds the dubious honor of being the first wrestler to beat Jordan Burroughs in international competition.  He won a couple of US Nationals, placed at senior Pan-Am’s, was on two World Cup teams, and placed at several international events.  I think that is going to put him as most successful in the modern era at least. 
 

Nick Boykin (Riverdale) is having a good run and showing he can compete and be close to the top spot in the US at the senior level.  I am pretty sure Nick has made at least one age group world team (Jr or U23) but I am not going to look it up and could be wrong.

Beyond Marable and Nick Boykin, I think Phillip Simpson (MBA) got to wrestle in the Pan Am’s maybe… don’t quote me there but he was on the circuit a while during his Army stint and competitive at the senior level. 
 

Behind that it’s probably Tommy Brackett (CBHS) who has been in and around the senior level a while and made a U23 Greco team in 2021, got to wrestle and place at a couple of Pan AM age group events, and has made several international tours.  He was a match or two out from qualifying for the Olympic trials this cycle.  He has finished second in various age group world team trials a handful of times.  

Thank you. 

This may be a dumb question but does anyone know if there’s ever been an Olympic qualifier in wrestling from TN?

Let’s go Nick!!!

Elite coach? Hes good. Not elite

 Arguably an elite competitor.

But, the money hes asking for.... doesn't match his results.

Mark my words.....greed is ruining the future of SD.

SAD

 

That’s horrible to hear. 

I havent had many interactions with him, but the ones I have had have always been pleasant. I’ll withhold much thought on this until something comes of it. 

I can’t find anything about this. Link?

I don’t like TreyB, but when he’s right, he’s right. Mattox is absurdly ridiculous.

Fulmer got fired....we've been irrelevant for 12+ years. Hopefully that has changed.

Oh we’re relevant. We reeeeeal relevant. 

Tennessee - 1, NCAA - 0

i get what you’re saying and I agree.

You must not be a TN fan. 

How’d you get that?

When is the next divisional realignment anyway? That would certainly be something to consider. 

I’m not sure why Cleveland wouldn’t want Josh and Joey to be replaceable anyway. I know you don’t want to lose the guys and no one blames you, but if they’re irreplaceable and, God Forbid, they wreck on the way home or something, then what happens? 

Everyone should be replaceable. 

DB takes down Cleveland! 

There’s absolutely no way to guess this far out. Cleveland is still strong. Summit lost a lot. Nolensville and Blackman should still be solid. I think Brentwood lost a lot of dudes too. 

Not knowing is more fun anyway.

this is what I found. It doesn’t say whether it’s duals or traditional just yet but it does say 2 divisions in boys and 1 in girls. 

i know everyone probably has a dude in the know. What are you hearing? Duals? Traditional? Both? 

That’s big for the state.

They can crop it all they want to I have the original and so does the guy who videoed it

No I mean can you crop it to make it not obvious it’s in the venue so you can repost it.

Yes if it is reported to them. The 126 match was taken down . Someone reported it not so much about the match but on the refs because of all the confusion. I downloaded it from YouTube before hand how can I share it. It got a little over 1 million views on yt.

Anyway to crop the video enough to make it not obvious that it’s in the venue?

You said Nashon but it is Nahshon. You’re from our club or were. 

My bad. I don’t type well sometimes.
