The Individual tourny team champion should be the team that actually gets to call their team state champions at he end of the year. A lot of states dont even have state duals. When you get in college the national champion team is crowned by the NCAA tourny. just my opinion. What team has the guys that can go the distance when every team in the state has their best individuals in it.

there are pros and cons to each championship, hence why they are called different things. if you are the state dual champions, that means you are the best 14 man team in the state. If you are the individual tournament champion you have a little more talent on your team.

 

You can have a few talented guys and do pretty well at the tournament...seeing as having 1 champion automatically puts you past 20-30 teams. There is more to just talent to take into consideration when you can get 14 guys out and win. So i've come to the conclusion that whoever wins the duals needs to remove all doubt and win the individual tournament too /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I just dont see how you can have Franklin and Brentwood Higher than Independence when IHS has clearly beaten them in regional duels and individual the last couple of weeks..... Just my thoughts...

Dustin Ortiz (130), Ryan Konz (145), Wiley Davis (152), Ben Heacock (160), Carter McPhee (215) all placed in the state last year and will carry them in the state because they are proven at the state level. Not to mention a much improved Tucker Cathey at HWt. They have 6 guys that can generate points.

So.... that dosen't prove a point. If you havn't seen Independence has some good wrestlers who will do some damage at state. I did get to see them at their regional and state duels and the have a very god line up. I'm not sure on the names but here are some.

 

119-Chase Beazley He will make some noise at state.

125-Jake Twaddle His technique is great and he knows how to use it.

130-? But he doesn't lose by much to Dustin Ortiz

135-Seth Seneca- He will turn some heads and do very well at state.

140-Matthew Gabrail He is one of the best takedown wrestlers i have seen.

145-Brennan Cox- He is a very smart wrestler and knows how to wrestle.

152-? He wrestles smart and doesn't panic when he is in a tight spot and will come out on top.

160-Taylor Dixon He has great takedown skills and defense. His top is amazing.

Coach Grinstaff- He has proven himself time and time again this year. He has all my respect and congrads. Good Luck to you at state.

 

Now if my math is correct that is eight wrestlers. That two more than six so Independence should and in my thouhgts will do better than Franklin, Brentwood, and Overton. This is the statr of a new Great wrestling team.

      Cummings named Coach at LC.

      Yeah I am on board and plan on coming down from the Ridge for some home games, great Friday night atmosphere there.  I'm really hoping SC can get them back going and have some success for those fans and community.

      Yep I was field level on the scoreboard end throwing ball with Benny when we had that brief lead. Everybody got very excited but it was short lived as Murvil regrouped and went into machine mode. But yeah,  that hit sounded like the crack of a black powder rifle being fire.  I believe Dozier took one like that as a Soph up at Greeneville after on olay block.

      Ole Benny boy lol. I forgot about Harder. He was tough as crap. He graduated in ‘09. I went to the OR/Maryville game that year (great game, btw) and he collided with Jacob West (I think was his name) and you could hear it clearly at the top of the visitor bleachers. Man, it was a stick. He could lay some wood son. All those guys were tough, Elliott included.

      They do have good community support for sure and did when I coached under Z for 4 years. (I was on that staff that turned them around a little from winning 1 game a year to actually being competitive).  Great Kids and Great Community over there.  They have done some good things with the facilities from when i coached too.

      I personally will not mind that one bit.  It seems like a really strange fit to me from the git go.
