I saw AA Region 5 just put the brackets up and for Wilson Central Steven Fisak is not listed at 145, 152,  160 or on the team page.  What the heck happened?  Man I hope he didn't get injured.

Sad to hear.  

Praying for a speedy recovery.

Great job starting the program and best of luck.

Top 5 dumbest things ever said on coachT.

Wow.  I guess you have not read some of your past posts.  Just saying.

I was only asking the question because I thought it was posted on here that the wrestlers would be going to the Ironman.  No reason to get upset.  Just wondering.

Why did they not wrestle at the Ironman Tournament after being told would?  I looked for them only to be stunned that they wrestled against Ryan on Friday night and the Cleveland Duals on Saturday.  No problem with them wrestling for their team; however, have a problem with being told one thing and it does not happen.  Just sayin'.  

I thought I saw an earlier quote that said Ellison and the HWT would be at Ironman?  Did I miss something or was a message changed?

You will not get to see that match up as Ellison will be at the Ironman.

Yes sir, Isbell has now won three in a row at the Ryan tournament as well as having a third place finish his freshman yr. Christian only lost one match during his 4 yrs at this tournament and that was to Zeke Escalera in the semis of his 9th grade season. Great job!!!

Congratulations to Isbell,  I am sure he has entered a select few that have won the tournament 3 x's.  

The wrestler he beat is listed as an 8th grader.  If this is true, he has a bright wrestling career ahead of him.  He has to be tough to only lose 5-2.  Also, I do not believe Eli King won the FR Tournament 4 x's.  I do not believe he even wrestled all 4 years in the tournament.

Also, I believe Tim Garrett won the tournament 3 x's for Overton back in the day.  lol.

Did McTorry win it 3 x's?  Ralph Gabrell at Overton back in the 1990's were really strong.

while you are correct in that AvB and BvC does not always mean A beats C, but when 2 have not wrestled, all you can do is take common opponents to help determine rankings, and if you do that, Whitworth wins that without question. And outside of that, if you want to talk style match ups, I think Whitworth would be  a nightmare for Horst's style. 

This is exactly my point.  If the 2 have not wrestled, you look at common opponents.

Bump11, you are the idiot.  The more you spoke the more it became clear.  Tattoo this.

So, let me get this clear.  Alex beats Palmer, Palmer beats Noah, so Noah would beat Alex?  Are you kidding?  If Noah could not beat Palmer and Palmer could not beat Alex, then Noah is not going to beat Alex.  Plain and simple.  Alex is the best P4P in Tennessee.

I may have missed this earlier; has Whitworth wrestled either Noah or Brayden?

Great opportunity to promote the sport.

Best of luck!

I won't speak bad of any kid, but gonna disagee. This can go on and on, and no way to prove anyone right or wrong.

It's Whitworth. NO QUESTION! 
I would say Noah is Top 10 for sure, but Whitworth is #1 at this point. 

I agree 100%.  

Congrat's to Cooper on an amazing tournament.  Proud of him.  Can't believe he didn't win the AAU State and won this tournament.  Says much for the Boom Ranch Club where he is training now.  Congrats to Uhrochuck for his placement.  This is quite the accomplishment.  How did these wrestlers do at the AAU State Tournament last year?  Sounds like their training is paying off.  

Proud of both young men and glad to see so many young wrestlers from Tennessee competing against the best.

Congrat's to Skylar for a job well done.  Impressive he moved up to 275 lbs and do so well.  Looking for great things from him this year.   Hope this puts him on the radar for many DI schools.  

Coach Jackson and family,

So sorry to hear of your loss.

I will be praying for you.

In my honest opinion, we can be both.  What our wrestlers did at Fargo is outstanding and they should be commended; however, the truth should not be stretched.  That is all I was saying.

Hoosier dad. I have not been on here in a decade but just checking on the results of this tournament randomly I see your still being an angry jerk. You must be a really unhappy man 

Not being a jerk unless you think those who question a misstatement or a lie a jerk.  What I said was totally factual.  Thank God for Garrett and Coach Sutherland for correcting statements that are not true. If I am not mistaken, Garrett had 2 corrections within a few days. Does this make Garrett a jerk for his 2 corrections?  I don't think so.

I think what this says is more about you and that is very sad.  Tells me all I need to know about you.

Did not put words in your mouth.  Just asked if the truth was not valued.

Society today seems to throw away the truth and that is scary.  

Are you saying that the truth is no longer acceptable?  There is a difference between being wrong and not stating the truth.  I applaud the young men and women who did well at Fargo.  Their accomplishments should be recognized; however, do not lie about their accomplishments.  I am ok with a misstatement, I am not ok when it happens time and time again.  

Why does the truth not matter?  Just state the facts and enjoy what these young athletes have accomplished and not expand on what is not true. 

We have all been wrong before; however, most of us do not continue down the same path.

Actually I believe our first 4xAA at Fargo was Michael Murphy (Baylor School):

2012 Cadet Greco 7th

2013 Cadet Free 3rd

2013 Cadet Greco 4th

2015 Junior Greco 7th

 

Tate Robinson won 3 while representing TN and at least one, maybe 2, while representing MO.

We may have had a couple of other 3xers as well but I didn’t look through the data closely.  Bracket was 3 I believe.  I know Nick Boykin had his double champ year but can’t remember if he placed past that.

Still a great accomplishment by the guys this year.  Very good to see us having guys continuing to do it with more consistency. 

 

Are you saying that what was stated is not correct?  For the second time in as many days; you have corrected an incorrect statement.  Thanks for calling out when the truth is tarnished.   Seems to be a pattern here.

I too agree that this is a great accomplishment; however, no reason to make stuff up

Just sayin'.

You must always remember to listen, read and verify.  Many times people claim various things without doing any research. 

This is not the first time something like this has happened.  I remember when something was posted on McCallie about a TSSAA state championship record a year and a half ago until Coach Sutherland had to correct. 

Just saying.

How can a wrestler be ranked ahead of another on this list when the lower ranked wrestler beat the higher ranked wrestler.  I am talking about Whitworth not being ranked high enough.

I wonder if it was a top 10 tournament back in the days when Father Ryan was winning this tournament.

I cannot seem to find where the Prep Slam is in the top 10 toughest tournaments. Where did you find this? I was looking on http://wrestlingreport.com/hs/ and do not see it. 

I am curious to see where this tournament was ranked in the top 10 as well.  Could you please direct us to where this information was obtained?

Please advise.
