Akers beat Garcia pretty handily, Carlos was never really capable of getting any offense going despite his best efforts. Mosley beat Isbell and from my completely unbiased seat it looked like the ref missed a couple calls that could have sent the match the other way, but Cole will have his hands full with Parker Smith in the finals should be fun there...any other ones guys?

can you tell us the semi finals matches and results. or the finals? whatever they have finished through..

Why would this be a good match? Newberg should be a prohibitive favorite due to the following:

1. Defending state champion at a higher weight classification

2. Everyone knows that a state champion in D1 is much more impressive than a D2 Champion

3. It has been reported that Hooker certified at 145# but has been wrestling 160# to fill a gap and help his team. He is now going up to 170# to test his ability against Newberg.

4. Newberg will be bigger, faster & stronger

5. Has signed with Nebraska

6. Is ranked 12th in the nation at 170# and Hooker is not ranked at any weight.

 

While I admire Mr. Hooker for wanting a challenge this could be a big injury risk with the bigger, faster, stronger Newberg. I ask you what chance does Hooker really have to win?

 

what does that crow taste like? Looks like d-II showed up today. Imagine of the other good ones were there besides Father Ryan.

What did I say that was not true?

 

1. Was Newberg the defending state champion at a higher weight classification? Yes

2. Is it not people on this very message board that call D2 the JUNIOR VARSITY DIVISION? Yes

3. Has Hooker not certified at 145#? Yes, I have been told this!

4. Should Newberg not have been bigger, faster & stronger than Hooker? Yes

5. Did Newberg sign a wrestling scholarship with Nebraska? Yes

6. Is Newberg not ranked 12th @ 170# in a major wrestling publication that does not have Hooker ranked at any weight despite him placing at the NHSCA Junior Nationals? Yes

 

I just stated the facts, what you do with those facts is your business!

It sounds like the United States Naval Academy and Coach Burnett did their research and signed someone that for whatever reason was flying under the radar! Let's all just pray that the only radar that Mr. Hooker is ever required to fly under is the one related to wrestling because war is ugly.

    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd... 
    • yeah money aint right there anymore
    • I suppose you are correct but from my understanding it was going to be a situation of the HC saying yay or nay to every play
