We obviously need to improve.

 

For those who want to get to the next level:

 

Every Thursday from now through May the Science Hill wrestling room will be open from 5-7 for a little drilling and a lot of live wrestling. No charge. Just trying to get all of the best kids in the area in the same room once a week. That's what will make us better.

 

To do a little name dropping, I already have 8 region finalists that will definitely be regularly attending:

 

Gary Hudgins (SH)

Jon Boatman (G)

Corbin Hurley (TN)

Andrew Armstrong (SS)

Josh Vance (G)

Griffyn Broyles (MoW)

Logan Buck (E)

Marshall Brown (G)

 

Along with many other state qualifiers.

 

I hope to get more of both.

 

This takes little commitment. One day per week to get the best competition within an hour drive.

 

I am extending a free invitation. I hope that some take advantage of the opportunity.

The room will also be open on Tuesday 5-7 for youth/middle school kids to do the same.

 

If attending with a partner, you are, of course, welcome to attend both to get extra mat time.

 

But I want to emphasize on the one day for the separate age groups to ensure great competitive partners/live groups.

 

This could be a great thing if people take advantage of it.... Spread the word.

This is a really great thing you are doing! I'm excited to see the improvements that will be made! Iron sharpens iron and it already looks like you have a ton of tough kids!

So even though we only have 16 returning State Qualifiers there are still several that I believe could make some noise at states. Primarily these come to mind..

 

Max Vaughn-12(Science Hill)-Finished in the Top 8 last season @132

Austin Frye-12(Dobyns Bennett-Finished in the Top 8 last season @145

Austin Bagley-12(Science Hill) Finished in the Top 8 last season @145

Palmer Begely-11(Dobyns Bennett)-Was injured in the Round of 16 @152 (I believe he could have placed)

Griffen Broyles-11(Morristown West)-Made it 4 rounds @152

Corbin Hurley-10(TN High)-Made it 5 rounds @120

 

Anyone I should add to that list?

7 region 1 wrestlers make top 10 returning wrestlers at their respective weight classes.
