Sheriff’s Shoot Out

Recommended Posts

We were wanting to bring a team from Chattanooga up so that Tennessee could finally get all the best kids on the Aau duals team. Our problem is that we have about 15 small programs around town and there is no way we could fill a line up even close enough to make it worth while. Most of our serious kids get together once or twice a week and practice together and we travel together out of town. I dont know that it would be fair to bring those kids up there even though there are kind of on the same team. Anyway good luck and we wish we could join you.

More info from Coach Bill:

 

http://www.seaausports.com/sport.php?c=wrestling or www.safewrestling.com . Thanks to all that came to last weekend's K-8th event I hope all of you had an opportunity to get some great competition and valuable mat time.

 

We are hosting are 6th Annual Beginner's/K-5th grade Dual Tournament this weekend at Blackman High School in Murfreesboro Tennessee. The Beginner's Tournament is for 1st and 2nd year wrestlers ONLY. Coaches please don't bring your studs to get mat time.

Everyone wins in the Beginner's Tournament and we are hoping to get several rounds in this year with six mats.

 

The K-5th Grade Dual tournament is an experiment for our experienced wrestlers who can't wrestle in the Beginner's Tournament. I know it is hard to put a full team together with these weight classes, but these are the weight classes for the AAU Elem.

National Duals. I know we have the talent in Tennessee to compete, and I am hoping that we can harnessed and pull together this talent. The Sharp Shooters are even lacking several weight classes, but are putting together two teams to compete. Put as many of your kids together and get them some good mat time and start letting them learn how to wrestle in a dual competition.

Please register for both tournaments by Wednesday (tomorrow) 11 AM at:

Thank You, Coach Bill Kennedy

It's okay to combine a team or two from certain areas, but not all SD's, Baylor's, McCallie's, Bradley's, Ooltewah, studs ect. for a chatt. team. Holes may be adjusted or filled with other wrestlers, from other areas, but not considered TN's best to form some all-star team.

 

Feel free to ask for more details from Bill Kennedy srokennedy@yahoo.com ...BUT contact him quickly as he is beginning the bracket process now.

And how do you think you will determine if a team is an "all star" team or not. You are either going to accept mixed teams or your not. If you put any of the 2 teams together you've mentioned above, most would consider it an "all star" team. If your not going to be more specific, your setting yourself up for some trouble when a group makes the travel only to find out you consider them too strong to wrestle in your tournament. Although, I'm sure Bill is aware of that.

Good point, but what Bill hopes to do this weekend is have as many teams as possible, but not combine more than 2 in order to avoid having the cream of the crop from several teams + have 5 deep per weight class. From speaking with Bill more... having 3 combined teams is stretching it, at least from the Chattanooga area.

 

He's still open to a few more teams to add - BTW.

The group of kids that we have that practices together are from 4 different teams. Although we all travel together out of town and practice together they are still registered under different teams. we would love to come but after talking to all the parents we agree that we would be viewed as an all star team and it wouldnt be fair to the teams bringing their regualr teams. Next year we will be better prepared and bring several Chattanooga teams. Good luck to all

I would rather be viewed as an "all star" team than an average hodgepodge team any day. Chattanooga kids need to show up and show their stuff. We need more exposure to these teams in Middle Tennessee.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
