Coach, for the most part you have 2 different season for MS. Most "MS" teams wrestle during the HS season and are teamed up with the HS duals during the season. Most in the surrounding Knox area are not TMSSA sanctioned, but do fall under the AAU and/or USA insurance umbrella. Doing so allows for much more freedom than what TMSSA will allow.

The other season would actually be an individual season of AAU and/or USA tournaments. Not sure about USA, but AAU tournaments begin around February and end sometime in April I believe. Darrell Lauderdale and/or Don Barnett can supply more information on AAU benefits and tournaments. Not sure who your USA contact would be but Pummel can provide that to you.

I applaud your desire but would encourage you to contact the principals at LC and Loudon to let them know what your plans are. From their, for your programs continued success, those local high schools would need to start a HS program. The closest current HS program to your MS is either Kingston or Farragut, but none of your kids are zoned for those schools. Will be difficult to have a MS program if these kids don't have a HS program to continue wrestling at, once they reach HS.

 

Good post RC

Hope his area is able to get a program started.

You are behind the times my friend. Cleveland, Baylor, Bradley ect dropped their leagues a couple of years ago. Cleveland and Bradley, Lake Forest and Ocoee joined up with a couple of N Georgia schools and formed a new league. They can now wrestle outside teams but still can't attend individual tournaments and have in fact been penalized for doing so. I'm pretty sure they wish they were able to do whatever they wanted. Chattanooga has a public school league but it is horrible. They only wrestle 6 weeks, can't wrestle anyone outside their league, can't wrestle individual tournaments. Soddy is very good and a couple of others are decent at best and the rest could care less about wrestling. The serious coaches in that league all wish they weren't in it.

Yes they are in a league that has them three without Baylor and McCallie, but continued CCS with the added GA schools.

They can wrestle individual tournaments just not ones that are sanctioned outside of the TMSAA after they have sent in thier rosters oh had matches before hand. Wait and compete afterwards and that would solve everything.

Anyway what ever all areas of the state are different with different seasons. Until the TSSAAand TMSAA can agreee on one season things will ALWAYS be messed up with the state of TENNESSEE for wrestling.

      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.
