Not lately. There is only one match that I can think of where they got it wrong and two kids into OT. Probably what drove the chaos just off that mat.

I recall a few tournaments in the area where a young guy screwed up calls left and right, argued with parents, and table workers.

I was fortunate to attend the Region 5 tournament in Dixon this weekend. It was well run and was well attended. The refs did a great job from what I saw. The only complaint I have was the large . camera crew that followed 2 of the wrestlers. I felt this was very disruptive and they were rude standing in front of of parents trying to watch their children participate. I thought this was an event to focus on all the young wrestlers to determine who goes to the State. What it turned out to be was a media Circus about one family. All of our children are equally important and I feel the officials of this tournament dropped the ball by allowing this to happen.We all enjoy filming our children in these events but were constantly having to compete with a large camera crew to find a place to video. I am sure the children competing with these 2 kids must have felt ignored. The cameras did not affect the outcome of the matches, but certainly was disruptive and a total nuisance!!

Looked to be two moms fighting mat side. We are trying to teach our boys character and how to win and lose with grace. This does not help. Need to do a better job keeping parents in the stands. We only need coaches ,wrestlers ,and tournament workers on the floor or mat side. And yes we need to grow the sport in region 5.

Chevylover-I agree. the TV show crew for the Great American Country (GAC) channel/network was very disruptive and disrespectful to the other kids/families at the tourney. They were there to film the Willis Clan: a family with 12 kids. The dad was the guy who started Real Pro wrestling a few years back that didn't last, but just 2 years. The family acquired 100 million dollars from the state of IL when Toby Willis' (the dad) siblings were killed in a car wreck. The driver of the truck (who was respinsible) got his CDL from the the Governors shady CDL for sale scheme. The 12 kids are into singing and dancing...winning national and world titles. Then there are the 2 of the 12 that are great wrestlers.

The only complaint you had was the camera crew ? So I guess it was ok for white trash moms going at mat side. Thanks Wave and Elite wrestling moms for showing your class or lack of class.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
