Lopez coming back for Cleveland will be huge. No doubt it will be Soddy and Cleveland head above the rest next year!

I have to throw our name out there as well. Maryville has 8 qualifiers coming back and 1 5th place medalist. (Solomon 160 - 9th grade)

Kremer & Hamm? Please jump in!! 8-9 returning?

we have 8 returning qualifiers with 2 of those state medalists, we will also get back another wrestler who was a state qualifier last year but had surgery this year and did not wrestle the last part of the season.

We should be competetive next season barring no more injuries and everybody's weight falls right.

Beech also will have 8 state qualifiers on roster next season. Two new transfers will go along way to helping the bucs be competitive.

It will be Soddy and Cleveland in a landslide next year. They each have 3-4 kids that will be on top of the podium and numerous other finishers especially if Lopez returns to wrestling next year. Not only do they have many returning medalist and qualifiers but they have many kids waiting in the wings that will be able to step in and make an immediate impact. After those kids come through they have many more kids Rabbit Turner and Josh Bosken are grooming into future champions. I predict Bradley will drop out of the top 10 for a while for the simple reason they do not have the talent coming in they have had in the past but Ben Smith is as good of a coach as there is and he will get them back on track in short time. Other programs that understand it takes a whole system from kids wrestling through middle school to off season club wrestling are starting to gain some ground. Dont be suprised to see Gibbs continue to improve. They have a top notch coach in Pittman who has been working his tail off for years coaching kids from tots through middle school and high school. He is about to see the benefit of his hard work with an exceptional group of 8th graders coming up. Pigeon Forge is another example of a coach going the extra mile with Greg Forman devoting time from the kids ages on up. Pigeon Forge will be near the top for a while do to his efforts. Clarksville looks to have a solid group returning as well. I wouldnt be suprised to see them battling for third next year. Im not sure where all the old Sharpshooter kids have ended up. I know some are at Blackman and some at Riverdale and Eagleville . For a long time the Sharpshooters put out as many if not more quality wrestlers than anyone with Bill kennedy at the helm. With Blackmans quality coaching if they can get a large number of the old Sharpshooters they should be in the top consistently. Then you have up and coming Wilson Central . There is another man in coach Kramer who is putting in extra hours coaching all ages to ensure his team has the foundation it needs. Maryville is also loaded with some very talented Freshmen who will be making some noise very soon. All of these teams will be consistently in the top 10 for a long while due to their efforts and going above and beyond.

Who is coaching the old sharpshooter team. I see some kids still wearing there signlets. That was a good team it's a shame where did thet go or better yet why did they stop wrestling.

John Heath is coaching the Murfreesboro Elite squad in the same Sharpshooters building. The coaching hasnt changed at all as Coach Heath has always been Bill Kennedys #2 at the helm of the dominate Sharpshooters back in day. He coached the K-4 kids and prepared them for Bill for many years. Great Coach and friend.

Is he still doing just the k-4 kids, or is he coaching middle school also. If he is how are they doing. I remember him back in the day as you called it. How can I reach him do you have any contact info. There was one resaon why we quit back then and that reason is gone now, I would love to get my kids back in it. My high school son is in college now and to be honest, I miss it. And of course my kids do to.
