Claiming Coop and Hudson??? Come on man

Absolutely justified my friend! And that ref deserved it!! HA!

While not the TSSAA, my son lost a match last year and the opposing coach came up to our coach, Sean Russell after the match and said "Man I'm sorry. You guys got robbed and he should have won that match". Don Elsea was watching and literally told us the call was wrong. Sometimes, it is exactly what it is. Score more points and it won't be left up to the refs. I've seen those Cleveland coaches in action. They fight hard for their guys. heck, Matt High throws more bricks in freestyle than any coach in the country. HA!

Or just call Shane I guess.

I’d imagine Hudson won’t stay out in Iowa forever so him wrestling for Cleveland wouldn’t shock me. Just not sure Shane is gonna be this recruiting coordinator you’ve mentioned. Ha!! Pulleys…they from Grundy?

Bob is wrong. Shane Chittum isn't combining with Cleveland. LOL

There seems to be a group on here that believes the Cleveland train keeps rolling if Bosken leaves. My opinion, Bosken would get replaced (like you mention) but it wouldn't be what it is today. Not sure how long it would take to fall off but it would be incredibly hard to sustain. Thats not a knock on Joey, nor is it a knock on whoever would replace Bosken. They obviously have a large team effort up there. Just think he's the guy that has had the biggest hand in developing that culture and making it what it is today. Saban leaves Alabama...are they gonna keep winning at the same level? Fulmer got fired....we've been irrelevant for 12+ years. Hopefully that has changed. I'm not saying they become irrelevant by the way if he leaves. I just don't think its as easy as some of you make it out to be and it all starts with Higher Calling. Now if they get TJ Sebolt to come in....well, it might get better. HA

You must not be a TN fan.

HA....we were thinking the same thing @FrecoFanatic!!

A few years ago, Lake Gibson from FL was ranked 45th nationally and they won the Knockout Christmas Classic that year down in Orlando. This year, Cleveland dominated down there and won that same tournament. I'd imagine thats close to apples to apples and Cleveland is probably pretty worthy of being considered in the top 50. Is what it is......Its why we want to wrestle them

Josh would get replaced but it would be extremely difficult to repeat his success. He is elite at what he does and works his butt off. Lots of coaches have potential, not all of them are willing to do what it takes.

When Bosken decides to take a job somewhere else.

Are you being serious right now? There is no one more childish on this site than @TheTreyB

Post the link to ole Big Mac.

Looks like rematch of Reep/Roark too in quarters!!

No worries. Its a moot point just curious really. Good luck to Hunter!! He looks tough and this next one should be a fun one to watch.

That’s what Yost told us. That said, why did the bracket have 35 kids rather than the 34 we were told was max number of participants allowed? Seems inconsistent across the weights

Jose. He's a returning state champion from Cleveland. Expectation is for him to win, so imo he has the pressure.

McCallie did a great job of wrestling to their seed or above it BUT those stats are extremely misleading imo and especially unfair to Father Ryan. As previously stated by @FargoStrut, Aiden Hare was seeded #1 at 113 for winning the west regional, but if it were truly seeded, he would have been the #5 probably and ended up taking 4th with a monster win over Kibelbeck in the quarters. He had a great tournament and based on that stat it looks like he fumbled. Kid has turned into a great wrestler and is going to contend for a title VERY soon. With the west being a bit weaker than the east, it puts Ryan at severe disadvantage when looking at that specific stat.

Can’t disagree. It’s why I’ve made it crystal clear who I am on here. If I say it on here, I’ll say it straight to your face. When I’m wrong, I’m wrong. Should not have defended that statement by glossing over it with my blue glasses on @littlejohnny you’re on your own here brother

I haven’t trashed any kid from Baylor. In fact, I’ve been texting back and forth with one of your parents this morning, congratulating them on their son’s placement and looking forward to preps. I’m not naive enough to think that it couldn’t happen at McCallie or any school for that matter. Feel free to call or text me personally if you feel I’ve crossed a line. Just tried to say @littlejohnnywas excited about the win. He can defend himself for what he said rather than me trying to do it for him Hunter was fantastic as always. Good luck to him next weekend

While they drive me crazy, I’m certain we do the same! Ha!! I just appreciate how much they care. If they didn’t, the environment wouldn’t be the same.

I don’t know @littlejohnny but I think I have an idea who he is. He’s just excited as we all are. It’s been 31 years since McCallie has held that trophy. Both Baylor and Ryan will be back. Just glad we could join the conversation again. Makes it more fun and raises the competition.

I enjoyed sitting next to you tonight@FargoStrut It was a blast! Mattox is one of the best kids I’ve ever seen wrestle….period. That whole group they’ve got coming in is awesome. For me though, I don’t care if their group is better or not. Let’s just make sure they wrestle each other and enjoy it while it lasts. That level of competition is what raises the bar for TN wrestling.
