106 is not correct. Kyle Lee went 0-2 - lost to Hayden Lee and to Sean Button. Lee wrestling Lee probably got confusing looking at the bracket, but it shows in the agate results. Jon Boatman went 1-2 - lost to Kyle Kelly, won against Alex Smith, and lost to Marco Tchekado.

Though i would enjoy giving props to those TN guys that have the heart to expend the resources that alllow them to compete in the offseason and therefore become winter champions. But why does Tn bring the most watered down talent to these national fors? WhoL is this worthwein kid and why did he go to super 32? This is the quintessential problem with TN wrestling; all of the good kids choose not to attend great tournaments like this, which is their own loss. But why are there unqualified kids like this (one that hasn't even placed at the state tournament) representing our state. Surely TN can do better. Where are the studs at, even though Chatt Town was somewhat well represented at this event they should develop a better system to get these guys out! CBG if south Florida hasn't fried your brains with the sun or the noon margaritas give me an answer. Why do bottom caliber kids like this worthwein fellow even bother with these tournaments.

The first thing you must know is that you had some of Tennessee's best wrestlers compete at Super 32. You also had two very talented wrestlers (Baker & Robinson) become All-Americans that same weekend wrestling in the USA Wrestling Preseason Nationals in Iowa. In the middle school division you had both Michael Murphy (Baylor) and Eli King (Nashville Catholic) become All-Americans. There is nothing wrong with some of the less experienced kids attending national tournaments to gain the experience.

 

IMO, there are several reasons that some of Tennessee's best wrestlers choose not to compete at national tournaments:

1. The DEAD PERIOD. When high school coaching staffs cannot work with the kids year around they often times have no other place to workout and this is a major disadvantage for the Tennessee high school wrestlers.

2. Finances, It's very expensive to travel the globe and compete in this economy. Money is the reason that many of the elite college wrestlers choose to jump to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) instead of trying to make the Olympic team.

3. Culture, For generations the high school wrestlers from Tennessee have not attended national tournaments in large numbers.

4. Loss of college wrestling opportunities, With so many college wrestling programs being done away with in the name of Title 9 one must ask if it's really worth all of the hard work in wrestling when the % of scholarships at the end are very small. The loss of college programs in Tennessee has also hurt the number of qualified coaches that are in Tennessee high schools and middle schools. I can remember when the University of Tennessee was a top 10 program and we also had programs at the following: Maryville, Carson Newman, UT Chattanooga, Tennessee Tech, Middle Tennessee State University, UT Martin & Sewanee. Don't forget that Cameron Croy (Harvard wrestler) is a product of Tennessee Tech as his father Jim wrestled on their team. One reason that some programs in other states are strong is they have D1 All-Americans and D1 wrestlers coaching at the youth and middle school level. When this happens the competition level jumps significantly in that specific school and is passed on to the surrounding geographical area.

5. Football, the wrestling community in Tennessee has not done a very good job over the years communicating the advantages of wrestling to the high school football coaches and fans. You have NFL coaches and players telling everyone how much better of a football player wrestling will make someone and just this week I was told that the defending heavyweight State Champion who has accepted a football scholarship to Vanderbilt has decided to focus on football and will not wrestle. Did someone on the Vanderbilt staff tell this young man not to wrestle, was it someone at his high school or did the young man just not want to compete at wrestling anymore? You also have Tennessee high school football coaches telling wrestlers that if they miss the first week of practice and attend the Junior/Cadet Nationals in Fargo, ND they must do extra conditioning when they return and their starting position in football could be jeopardy. You have coaches telling this to kids who have been offered wrestling scholarships and will not participate in football at the college level. Why not tell the kid to go and win the tournament and be at football practice the day after the tournament is completed? Does a wrestler that competes in a national tournament really need any extra conditioning? One thing to keep in mind is the wrestler is doing the school and coach a favor by playing football when his meal ticket is in wrestling so why not work with the kid and not against the wrestler?

6. The weight limit on heavyweight, When you had the unlimited weight classification the football players had no excuse not to wrestle. Now you have high school kids that are 6'5" and weigh 300+ but do not want to cut weight. My recommendation would be for the national federation to implement the unlimited weight classification for heavy weights once again. All of us "Old Timers" can remember when you had two 350+ kids wrestling the last match of a dual and how exciting it was for everyone in attendance.

7. Academics, Tennessee is near the bottom of the 50 states in academics and many of the wrestling opportunities at the college level are at the higher level academic schools. All of the service academies and most of the Ivy League schools have wrestling programs along with the Patriot League schools. While some of the schools may not offer athletic scholarships they do have huge endowments set aside for financial aid and grants. The real truth is that if a wrestler has good academics 26+ ACT they can probably go and wrestle somewhere in college but it they struggle in the classroom it really limits their opportunities. Remember that the academic schools must fill their roster and they can make exceptions but they do have minimum standards that one must meet before being accepted.

 

High School wrestling in Tennessee is much better now than it has ever been. With that being said the system still needs to be tweaked to make it a major success. Tennessee does not have the population base to have two divisions and for individual sports like wrestling we should have just one champion. This would cure the often talked about depth problem in both divisions. Would a two day tournament with a 32 man bracket not be great for wrestling in Tennessee? You could finish the round of 8 on Friday evening and come back on Saturday with the Semi-Finals at 10:00am and finish with the finals @ 7:00pm. You would see many more 1 point matches and overtime matches which would help get the wrestlers ready for what they would see at the national tournaments.

GRILLZ, According to the Super 32 website there were no wrestlers from Bradley there. Why is that? Can Bradley not compete on a national stage? Of course they can, but they chose to go another route. Poor form to call out an individual. If he meets the entry qualifications, he deserved to be there.

Ryan Parker (Baylor School) won Super 32 at 157lbs Middle School Division

[fritzmd11]

Super 32 has not posted the final brackets for 157, 180 and 235 middle school division. Baylor represented with Ryan Parker bringing home the belt at 157 and Michael Murphy taking 2nd at 100.

These kinds of tournaments are expensiveand not everyone can afford to go to them. My son would have loved to have went, but when you factor in registration, gas, shelter and food it's just too much.

[slingshot]

I'm not sure that Grillz is a Bradley fan. I can make a ridiculous statement, then end my post with "Go Blue Raiders!", but it doesn't make me a Cleveland fan. It would only serve to falsely make the Cleveland program look bad. If Grillz IS, in fact from Bradley, let me assure you that Coach Smith and company would not condone him running down a young wrestler who is trying to improve himself. Either way, it's poor form.

First of all, who is Tennessee? Is there somebody responsible for training our entire state and taking them to pre-season tournaments? NO, its an individual choice and up to each wrestler to find and off season training program if thats what he choses. I am appalled you would call out any kid who was trying to better himself. As far as Tn studs go it looks like quite a few did in fact go. We pretty much had at least one state finalist in each weight class up to the big guys who are probably playing football.

Good post cbg. Right on the facts.

are you saying baylors heavyweight isnt going to wrestle? That would suprise me as he will be a huge factor in his teams success this year. If there are college coaches telling kids not to wrestle then thats just crazy. There is no other sport that will develop the attributes a Ncaa lineman needs more than wrestling. Obviously they want to be as big and strong as possible but the kid will have 4-5 years to get as big and strong as possible. Wrestling teaches cordination, balance, leverage, mental toughness, cardio, flexibility, quickness, work ethic, ect... If i was a college football coach I would make all my lineman wrestle in high school.
