[memphiswrestling171]

Since you're obviously a kid on CBHS team, could you expand on why those certain wrestlers weren't able to make it to the tourney?

Well I'm def not a kid or somebody on cbhs team and I don't know why they weren't there Srry couldn't be any help to u

Oh I thought it might've been because of what may or may not had been found in their hotel rooms when in HI..

I have heard about the Ryan invitational for years but had never gone to it. I thought that I would go and share my experience with coacht. As I arrived at the tournament, I was first greeted by Bear Cat Brown. I asked what he was doing and he told me that he didn’t have time to talk that he needed a pen and paper. I obliged him and proceeded to follow him into the hospitality room. I saw him trading recipes and phone numbers with the purple mommies (only the divorced ones). After a few minutes, I asked if he was going to stay and he said no that he had gotten all he needed and had to get back to C town because he was going to dinner with an old friend. I asked him who he was having dinner with and he told me he didn’t know his name only his phone number. It seems that this old friend only communicates with BCB by texting. I also asked him how the adoption of Jack by Moseley and Marchetti was going and he said great that he should be wrestling for the purple Irish next year. As I told BCB goodbye, I noticed a Sheriff’s Department truck out back. I thought at first it was to escort some of the Ryan fans out of the gym but noticed some sharp shooters mats on the truck. I asked the deputy what was up and he told me that they were going to store them here. I thought that strange until he explained that he knew the mats would be safe here because the Sharp Shooters or Kennedy would never come here to wrestle on them. I then saw Dan McGugin ( MBA’s football coach) and Ricky Bowers (Ensworth’s football coach). I asked if they were here to see the wrestling and they responded absolutely not! We are here to make sure none of our football players are wrestling. I proceeded to tell Ricky that Ensworth is not in the tournament and he said that he wanted to make sure that they were not watching the matches because he doesn’t want to even think about wrestling. I next saw the CBHS crowd in the stands. In the middle of them I saw a frozen cake that said congratulations champions. I thought it was odd until I remembered that I saw that same cake at last year’s state duals. It was behind the CBHS cheering section. At that time, I thought to myself wonder what they will do with this cake if they don’t win state. Well my question was answered when I saw it at the Ryan tournament. I guess they will have to put it back on ice until the state tournament again. Well, that just about sums up my observations at the Ryan tournament and I saw some great matches and I look forward to going back next year.

Well I hate to say it but I'm glad a certain school in Memphis isn't the only school that has to put up with football coaches BS with wrestling. Also it's funny to hear bout the cbhs thing however look for them to atleast be in the finals at state duals

This tournament was down compared to years past (Top to Bottom) but still some impressive talent was displayed.

Yeah, I would have sour grapes too if CBHS 1/2 JV squad had just kicked my team's rear end...lol. CBHS is working hard to earn the first state team championship from the West side of the state ever. It may not be this year, but at least for the second year in a row, they are in the conversation. Given the number of freshman and sophs in the lineup, expect them to continue to be in the hunt.

 

Great job by Coach Lewis and the CBHS staff! Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Also great work by the Brothers fans, if others are noticing you and this bothered by your presence. An outstanding program that was supposed to be down this year after losing three state champs (and now NCAA D1 wrestlers) as well as a runner up and three more state placers.

 

Keep it up!!! GO BROTHERS!

Being in the conversation has to be like the old saying, "kissing your sister". Yeah, it is a kiss and it is a female, but it is still not right and you should not do it.
