I'll have to say Clarksville High looked pretty sharp in their first dual matches of the season on Tuesday night. They wrestled like a completely different team though. They still have the strength, conditioning and pinning ability of the past but they've added an arsenal from their feet. They were scoring from their own shots. Yes, Clarksville High was taking shots. The emphasis brought about by the new coaching staff seems to be paying off.

So far I've chalked it up as the unknown as far as rankings go... This Clarksville team, along with the usual neutralizing strength, will be displaying moves 90% of This area has Not universally seen in HS. You'll think you're about to score and all of a sudden you're on your back. Chain wrestling at its finest. It should be interesting to see how close these team & individual rankings end up given the little if any votes Clarksville has received thus far. Beech may not win in duals, but they (being healthy) will be close in the individual IMO.

Clarksville has always been a powerhouse team. Im just trying to figure out the logic, that Clarksville is finally taking shots, and the last time Clarksville wasn't impressive against competition they face. Besides some of the East TN teams, Clarksville has always been better than most teams in the state. It is not like this is a first year program, They even own a State Title. That's all. Jeff Jordan was a great coach.

Powerhouse team, yes! Powerhouse on their feet, no! There are exceptions but when I think of the Clarksville style of wrestling I think of guys like Anthony Grady and Chad Isbell. Both exceptional pinners on top, but I would think most of their takedown's were off someone else's shot.

For years Clarksville has not been known as a team that shoots. When they did it was ugly. Hopefully this year will have noticeable improvement.

 

Notscared, I believe deadlift was saying that CHS would be doing stuff not usually seen in region 7. Everyone knows that CHATTANOOGA is where all the Tennessee wrestling Gods reside. Lowly everyone else is just playing catch up, right? (Note the sarcasm)

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.
