I've been out of the loop a while. Can anyone tell me if the Middle Tennessee Grandchampionship tournament is going to be held at the Williamson County Agro Center again this year? Last year i think was the first it was brought back in years, as a fundraiser type event that included separate high school, middle school, and youth wrestling divisions all at the same venue under the same roof. It was a really cool event that ran about this time last year and the finals were basically owned by Father Ryan, and considering it took place the same weekend as the McCallie Invitational having teams at that kind of caliber opt to attend i think was really significant - so i was wondering if it's going to be held again this year, or was it not able to be put together this time around?

The MTGC is being held again this year; however, there are not many teams in Middle Tennessee supporting it. I do not know why. I do know that there is a tournament at Beech the same weekend that many Middle Tennessee teams are going to as well as many Middle Tennessee teams going to other tournaments. I do not know why. This tournament was to bring the best of Middle Tennessee together to wrestle to find out who was the best but that is not gong to happen this year.

 

It is a shame this has happened.

The problem with the MTGC is that when it was brought back it was ran very very poorly and that put a bad taste in many coaches mouth's. after the first year many teams dropped then when it was ran the second year and still not smoothly most coaches just said forget it. I loved the idea of the MTGC and not just for teams from around the middle of Tennessee but to have a huge massive tournament with teams coming from everywhere. But all coaches know that when a tournament doesn't run smoothly the likely hood of them returning slims. This is why I heard from many coaches why they aren't returning and the reason for its failer.

This is the 2nd year for the MTGC so how could teams not come back after the 2nd year because it was not run smoothly?

There is Youth Division. By the way TN has plenty of elite wrestlers!

is there a kids division? If so, the tournament officials should try and get Eli King and Mason Reinche to come as well as elite Georgia kids.

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
