Is Juan Smith(Jujuan)from McMinn County? That's pretty nice props being thrown his way. Gomab, how do you feel about the guys getting recognititon in this publication? Who was not mentioned that surprised you? Has Andre Allen played his way out of the elite class of players in the state.......

Actually, they did a pretty good job this year for TN players, much better than in years past. Yes, Allen was the definite surprise. He is in most National Top 50's. Most years, TN will have very few, if any, players in these publications. And sometimes, the players are a little off. In Athlon two years ago, One of only four TN players listed was Collierville's Kendall Sanders, which was a mistake/surprise......

      Began as a discussion, and evolved into a trainwreck...   Don't know how many of the TC "old guard" are left, but I feel for y'all.   Everybody has to get the last word... no matter the cost and sometimes the cost is high.

      He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.

      Dylan's Dad, I'm glad you replied. I wanted to reply but wasnt willing to take the bait. There were 20 wrestlers on the team. I may be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 5 of the 20 attend McCallie right now and one will next year. At most, there are/were 6 kids on that team who attend McC. That leaves 14 other team members who have ZERO affiliation with McC (outside of maybe some friends) who represented our state to the best of their ability and wrestled their butts off that weekend. That weekend was a first for Tennessee and obviously a small step in the right direction for us as a state. Congratulations TEAM TN BLACK!
