Region 1

[baller95]

How many region one wrestlers wrestle in the off season exactly? It doesn't seem like many.

 

Depends on to what extent you want to consider true offseason work. Many wrestle a couple folkstyle tournaments after the season. A few will wrestle freestyle and greco tournaments. After that there are maybe a couple that wrestle up until the season in out of state tournaments.

 

ETWA and Team Tornado provide many opportunities for kids to go wrestle big tournaments against great competition. ETWA had kids go to OH Tournament of Champions, Super 32, and state and Southeast Regional Freestyle/Greco. Team Tornado had teams in Dixie Duals and Militia Duals and then also had kids in freestyle/ greco state and regional tournaments. Not enough local kids take advantage of these opportunities.

Who are some of the kids? I know storm williams and griffen broylea do, but that's just because I'm a morristown native. Who else?

To answer simply: Not as many as do in Chattanooga. Not even close.

 

ETWA will be going to those same competitive offseason tournaments this year and will also be teaming up with Abingdon VA to put "All Star" teams together to travel to the team tournaments such as Militia, Dixie Duals, NHSCA Nationals, etc.

 

We are striving to make the area better. But we cannot do anything if the kids don't show up. We need parents, coaches, and kids alike to take initiative during the offseason.

If the state as a whole could get together a put together some "All-Star Teams" and "All-Star Trips" in the Summer we could all benefit.

[Coach Shelton]

Last year, I had the most ever at GMS that traveled and wrestled after season with AAU. I had about 16. Several of them at GHS now. I have several more that want to this year. I know that some also attended some clinics with Caleb at Science Hill. It is better at GMS right now with kids wanting to travel.

Update on Frye vs Cline and begley vs broyles.. Frye beats Cline 8-6 and begely pins broyles in a controversial match

[newcoach215]

Both very intense matches Frye and Cline had a great one that could have gone either way and begley vs broyles was tough from the get go. I'm not sure if I would have called that a fall. They honestly just kind of fell into the position.

What was scores from the teams and individual classes?

Frye pinned Cline with one second left...the ref clearly indicated the pin came before the buzzer. Score was 7-4 Frye when the pin occurred.

 

Not sure what the controversy was at 152.

 

Team score was 69-6 D-B...perhaps a somewhat misleading score as MW forfeited five matches and D-B one.

The fact that griffans shoulder was about 6inches off of the mat. Also I was not a fan of the unsportsmanship on either side of this match. The whole thing could have been handled better by both wrestlers...

[marshiebaby]

U mean Palmer was involved in a tough match that had a unsportsmanlike element to it??? Gasp! well I never ...
