Region 7

[nununu]

Although considered to be one of the weakest regions in the state, I feel that this region will surprise some teams. Top team in the region right now has to be Glencliff. They bring back all but two starters and will definitely be the team to beat. Anthony Clemons will be a beast this year, and watch out for Derrick White this year, could be a big year. Second, I would have to go with Antioch. A team that is always on the verge, this may be the season. They return all but three wrestlers from last year, including state qualifiers Darnell Booker and Kyle Stagner. McGavock has to be third, they lost a lot from last year's district champions, but still return Daniel Harden, whose a tough match for anyone. Fourth, I would have to put MLK. Always tough, they will contend come tournament. Fifth is the Stratford Spartans. Coach Riggs has done a great job rebuilding this program. Sixth will probably go to Hunters Lane, who is coming off a descent season with a couple of state qualifiers, and lots of returning wrestlers. The rest of the region includes East Lit., without D'Antonio Johnson, Hume-Fogg, Whites Creek, TSB, Maplewood, and Pearl-Cohn

I agree this region could be the weakest top to bottom but it might have a few individuals do well in the State. Gone are the bullies from this region who sniffed at the teams but now are going on to bigger and better things(Region 6)Glencliff should be the team to beat.. 3 returning SQ and loads of young talent with great coaches. Antioch also returns 3 SQ and a young team last year... Problem there is like most Metro schools is keeping athletes out for the sport. Mcgavock( 1 SQ) always has talent and will field a competitive squad. 4 thru 11 could finish in any order... Stratford-(2SQ) always have great athletes and a positive coach directing . But they will be young this year and struggle to field a full lineup. MLK (1SQ) Tough 189lber. Last year had a young squad. They will be a team to watch this year. Hunters Lane (2SQ) They will have a few inidividuals do well this year but are trying to get back to the form of the early 90s. East Lit. (2 SQ) had a young team last year and one strong horse. They will have a stronger team and could be a surprise also.. Hume Fogg-1SQ- small team and young athletes..They are trying to rebuild . Whites Creek-1SQ- Had big numbers on the team last year.. But no coach so far this year.

TSB-DC- fielded a full team but no studs... They are always a class act when they wrestle. Maplewood- Numbers are dwindling on a team a few years fielded a full team. Pearl Cohn- small numbers but a new coach with a lot of energy... he might be able to pull a few of the football players out and have a strong team.

Bringing this back, because it seems without Overton and FRA, no one seems to think anyone in this region will do anything.

Halfway Point of the season and Antioch and Glencliff looks like the teams to beat. McGavock and Hunters Lane will closely follow.

This is based on the tournaments and dual matches from what has been posted. I know some guys are juggling weights and might go down.

Predictions on Region scoring

1.Antioch

2. Glencliff

3. McGavock

4. Hunters Lane

5. M.L. King

6. East Lit.

7. TSB

8. Stratord

9. Maplewood

10. Hume Fogg

11. Pearl Cohn

Fortune definitely for #1 seed

I'm not in this region but looking at these rankings above, it would seem like it should be 1.Antioch 2.Glencliff 3.McGavock. But at the Beech Invitational, McGavock placed ahead of Glencliff by a score of 117-91 points. Of course Glencliff was without Nick Steiner at 112, McGavock had 4 placers to Glencliffs 3, all in different weights classes. That would leave the 6 other weight classes to determine the duel winner. Seems evenly matched to me. If Antioch has 11 guys ranked in that region, then they would seem like the team to beat in Davidson County.

Finally, some talk about region 7. The rankings put together look pretty good. For Antioch, watch for Eckert to move to 130, and the stud Osatile to move to 135. Hussein (the older one) is a solid 145 with a last second loss to Eckles of McGavock. At 152, Quick is the one, I think Burnley is gone from the team after his conduct at the McGavock Inv. Antioch is also without their 189 and 171 until after Xmas. Dowell is a stud at 135 who will make some noise in Chatanooga, as well as Booker of Antioch. Aguilar at 103 will shock some at state, and the 140 of East Lit. will be good when he loses the attitude. Does anyone have scores from the McGavock Dual tournament, I would love to know.
