Why are the D2 schools still prohibited from attending the national preps by the TSSAA? I believe it is the weekend after the TSSAA state tourny. It strikes me that the TSSAA state tourny is the conclusion of the TSSAA sactioned wrestling season and that the national preps would be treated like the senior nationals, southern open, tournament of champions, Fargo, or any other out of season tournament. What does the TSSAA have to gain in this matter?

They are not prohibited. They can always choose not be a TSSAA sanctioned program and go to national preps.

TSSAA doesn't want the season extended beyond what they schedule. Senior nationals is for wrestlers who will no longer wrestle in high school. TSSAA can't sanction them. The Southern Open is during the season. In the past schools had to use a date to attend the Southern Open. That is likely the case this upcoming season. Fargo is freestyle and greco-roman wrestling. To the uneducated it is all the same. In the eyes of TSSAA, they and folkstyle are three totally different sports. The tournament of Champions is run by AAU. It is a different organization. The schools are not taking their entire teams there as a school. I do think post-season folkstyle is walking on thin ice. I can see it being highly discouraged and probably sanctioned in the future. Watch out all you sping folkstyle junkies.

Dr.Evil, What I think most coaches do is wait until after the Southern Open to submit their rosters to the TSSAA so then the Southern Open is looked at more like a summer/fall tournament. Once the rosters are turned in then the TSSAA rules would apply.....I think that how it goes. Anyone out there with more info on this????

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
