Region 8- Hendersonville beat Wilson Central already without Surgio.

The Commandos are undefeated in the region and will face Springfield on Jan 11 to decide the regular season championship unless we loose to Leverne or Frindship.

I see Springfield in a close one this year, unless H-ville comes out with some serious focus and everyone's healthy.... Then it could go either way. They both seem quite young and esp. H-ville with a loaded and experienced Middle School team coming up.

RegionX,

 

I think ut18vols just answered you questions. This is how it has been for a while now. If you are wondering about the teams people are just speculating. It's fun try it.

 

I think that Walker Valley is going to win Bradley's region. See it's fun.

Double post due to dumb operator not redundancy.

I understand speculation

Question is where is this official seeding process for state duals as opposed to the make believe blind draw?

It has been done that way for a couple of years except in 2003. Soddy and Bradley always think they get the shaft but it was Clarksville who got shafted by the unseeding of the tournament. CHS and Bradley should have been the final that year.

When it comes to the TSSAA who knows what they will do.

[C'ville Dad]

We'll be on opposite sides this year. The top 4 teams are seeded based on the prior year. We'll be the 1 seed. Clarksville and Soddy will be 2 and 3. Ooltewah finished 4th last year but I don't know if the seeding rules say the team has to simply return to the State Duals to get the seed OR has to win the Region to get the seed.

 

Go back and check, Collierville finish 4th last year.

Go back and check, Collierville finish 4th last year.

Don't worry C'ville Dad, TSSAA will try out the "blind draw" again and place the Region X winner against the defending state champs (Bradley)

 

Don't know much about the rest of the state, but I would go with Houston and Cordova from Region X. Unfortunaletly I'm not looking forward to the duals because I think it will be a blowout by the teams from the east. The talent in the west is too spread out and there are holes in the line-ups that I have not seen filled, like the 103 spot at Houston. A team needs solid wrestlers throughout the line-up to be competitive and I don't think a memphis team has that this year.

 

Good luck to everyone and Memphis wrestling forever

Once again, is there an official seeding process that is published for all to see or is there a blind draw, or is there really an unofficial behind closed doors seeding?

[Ibleedpurpleandgold]

It would be uncharacteristically coincidental and statistically impossible for the 2006 seedings to have come out the way they did if they were all blind draws. You can easily tell that there is some seeding, because Bradley and Soddy have never met in the first round. The 2005 tournament came out 1st Franklin, 2nd Bradley, 3rd Soddy, and 4th Clarksville. Now go look at the 2006 bracket, the seeds went 1st Franklin, 2nd Bradley, 3rd Soddy, and 4th Clarksville. Nobody got the shaft, that's just how the seeding has to work.

 

I'd put money on the seeding for the 2007 duals coming out 1st Bradley, 2nd Clarksville, 3rd Soddy, and 4th Collierville (assuming these teams are represented).

Sorry. My mistake. Collierville did finish 4th. No disrespect intended.

I think we've all felt the shaft at one time or another.

 

The TSSAA feels they are doing things right when they provide a means to determine a Champion. They forget the difference between 2nd and 3rd makes a big difference to the member schools involved.
