The director of AAU wrestling in Tennessee ask for suggestions to inprove wrestling in Tennessee. What do

you think will inprove the sport in Tennessee. He has

offered support in helping teams set up there own

tournament for us without all the tools and knowledge.

 

Remember what your mother said, " if you cant say something good,,, shutup"

 

Here is a few I thought of

a. Fall (pre season)Tournaments

b. AAU Tournaments on the same day in different parts of the state..ie Sevierville and a Nashville area school the same day.

c. A interstate I-65 region,, (yes, all people from top to bottom of Tennessee around that major hwy.

d. A west Tennessee group.

 

Thanks

Michael Morelan

A good way to improve wrestling in TN would be to have a Team TN that goes around to large out of state tournaments. We have A team TN but as far as i know it only competes once down in Chatanoga. The Younger kids have to qualify for the team by winning a tournament and the high school team is usally composed of the state champions. Now if this was made into a traveling team that goes to states such as Michigan Illinois and Oklahoma, it would be a great experience for lots of young kids. I know many other states such as Ohio have a traveling team that takes a hole summer and goes all around the country to wrestle, thats an experience a kid will never forget.

This is a great suggestion. Last year, Tennessee AAU sent kids to 4 National events: National Elem. Duals, the Ohio Tournament of Champions, the Iron Man World Championships, and the Junior Olympics.

 

This year, Tennessee AAU is looking to put together a team similar to the one you are desrcibing. There are three events, for middle school and high school age wrestlers, that we are planning on sending teams to. They are: the Iron Man in Knoxville; the Disney Duals in Orlando, FL; and the Junior Olympics in Detroit. MI. We are also planning on sending some to the Ohio Tournament of Champions.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. If you would like or if your child would like to compete in one of the events mentioned above as a member of Team Tennessee, please contact me at: seaauwrestling@chartertn.net

 

If you would like more information and would like to get involved in Tennessee AAU, please attend our Fall meeting. The meeting will be held on October 27, 2002, at Seymour High School, at 2PM. Pizza and Drinks will be provided. If you need directions please e-mail me and I will get them to you.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
