West's pin to start the match was a tone setter and then the number one guy going down to Kennedy was the beginning of a dog pile.  All this stupid talk about peaking is hog wash, get out there an wrestle like you want to win it.  Congrats to the Blue Raiders for an very impressive performance last night.

Very Eloquent, almost too intimidating to respond to, Rob West.  Allow me to stew over it.  Not sure coach Al Miller,  Phillips , Yost will allow you to leave this on here. I know they are proud of their efforts, but aww careful not to crow about it.

 

I'm so pleased to see development statewide. That's why I've been working on a Statewide, All divisions thread for several months to throw out Kudo's to everyone that sacrifices and shares their talents to grow our sport everywhere.  

 

Obviously a few others found it interesting.

 

Note: INO... Peaking right is critical as displayed with Ryan compared to early on,  AND especially Ravenwood, and yes even Cleveland and Baylor- who I believe they and Soddy know peaking right isn't hogwash

My collected thoughts regarding this past week:

 

It would be a good idea for the TSSAA to reserve the spectator seating during the state dual finals for the teams that are actually competing in the finals, since some particular teams lack the courtesy of doing this on their own.

Congrats to the Raiders from the Chattanooga area for winning 2 of the 3 state championships! The Blue Raiders from Cleveland in yet another lopsided win in D1 and the Red Raiders from Baylor who proved without a doubt that they are the best D2 team in February. How do you like those radishes? All of the top teams were from East TN after all.

Shout out to Cleveland's Koran Kennedy for upsetting the #1 ranked Kramer. Anytime there's an upset it's gonna be talked about and feelings will get hurt but I don't see it as classless. There's been a lot of trash talk so it goes both ways, no need to come apart when it's returned. ROAR!!!! Or more like Meeeeooooow! Another shout out to the WC mom who shouted out we're #1 after winning their 2nd and final match of the dual. She didn't realize the championship had been clinched 3 matches prior.

There was more than one controversial call at state and that's how it is every year. 285 has been debated in D2 but that one match didn't affect the outcome of the dual and who out scored their opponent for a decisive state championship victory. Maybe it was a balancing of the scales from the controversy surrounding their last meeting,

Simmers you posted some common opponent information with CHS WC and SD before the finals to support your prediction of a kitty cat Cinderella victory so how about posting some now comparing CHS WC and BC. WC won 2 matches against Cleveland, an improvement over 1 from last year.

To the Ravenwood parents. Was it 'weird' losing the CHS after taunting the Cleveland cheerleaders by telling them it was going to be weird when Ravenwood wins?? Those underage girls were only doing their job, cheering for their team. You're supposed to be adults, if you want to trash talk at least do it with other adults.

 

The Ravenwood coach should have been hit for at least one team point for constantly going to the table and interrupting the dual complaining about the Cleveland wrestlers standing up in between matches. Stop whining and send your wrestler to the table. To the hater full of 'class' complaining about Cleveland's methods of sending wrestlers to the table, don't let the jealousy get to you. The wrestlers are fond of this tradition of lining up and supporting their teammates and to insinuate some type of sexual harassment toward the coaching staff is the most outrageous remark I've heard relating to this sport. You obviously know nothing about the character of the coach you called into question. These two whiners could be the same person?

 

Soms, bump, ww, and company....how do you like your crow? Would you like some fresh Chattanooga radishes with that?

I noticed that the southeast Nashville elementary school 3rd graders had a round robin in gym class and there was a brief but concise write up in the "Grade School Gazette". I wonder where I could find someone to cut and paste that article, the world needs to know. I also heard the 5th graders will be peaking on Thursday. They do every year.

What is the point of this copy and paste, besides showing how there is actually someone on coach t that knows how to post his original thoughts using proper composition and grammar?

starraider thats what this whole tread consists of

[texas23]

Peaking right?  LOL...please describe how a coach holds back on his coaching to allow the wrestler to "peak" at the right time.  Does he not show a specific technique until one week before the post season?  Or does he not motivate to the teams potential until "it really counts"? 

[refsblow]

Yeah this is pretty much useless with all the copying stuff I agree with the other guy about the hole original thought idea. Lot of talk about peaking well i probly shouldnt comment on that cuz i thought yall were talking about something completly different.

WRESTLING DUALS TITLES AGAIN

01 Feb 2014 Written by Maurice Patton | [email protected]

 

FRANKLIN

 

The Midstate's duals wrestling title drought reached four years Saturday as Wilson Central and Father Ryan fell in championship matches.

 

Wilson Central, making its second straight appearance in the Class AAA final, lost to Cleveland again. But this time it was 50-15, compared to 78-4 in 2013.

 

Father Ryan saw a 12-point swing in the fourth match and lost 36-26 to Baylor for the Division II title.

 

Since the current format was established in 2005, Father Ryan (DII, 2010) and Franklin (AAA, 2005) are the Midstate's only champions.

 

Father Ryan trailed 8-3 but looked ready to take a 9-8 lead when Jonathan Spenser had Baylor 285-pounder Will Thomas in position for a first-period pin. However, Thomas grabbed the back of Spenser's singlet -- a technical violation -- and action was stopped.

 

Thomas went on to pin Spenser, giving Baylor a 14-3 cushion, and Father Ryan didn't manage a lead until Chris Wesnofske's major decision at 132 pounds put the Irish ahead 21-18. Marcello Morrice won by technical fall at 145 for a 26-22 lead, but Baylor won the final three matches to seal the championship.

 

"That didn't beat us," Ryan coach Pat Simpson said of the call at 285. "We had our chances. We just didn't perform where we needed to. We'll go back to work Monday and see if we can win the individual tournament."

 

Wilson Central lost five straight matches to start and trailed 24-0 before Christian Cerrito decisioned Taylor Bishop 4-2 at 120.

 

The Wildcats looked poised to score again as Austin Richard went into overtime with Austin Stevison at 132. But in the extra period, what looked like a Richard takedown was ruled to be an illegal headscissors, giving Stevison a 7-6 win and Cleveland a 32-3 advantage.

 

Wilson Central's only wins from there came on Mike Binns' pin at 152 and Perry Baltz' forfeit at 182.

 

Said coach John Kramer: "We started with one of our best guys (junior 220-pounder John Kramer, the coach's son) losing. That set the tone for the match."

 

As for the Richard call, Kramer said:

 

"I saw a takedown. I didn't see a headscissors."

 

Ravenwood claimed a 38-29 win over Soddy Daisy in the Class AAA consolation final, finishing third for the second time in three years. The Raptors trailed 29-4 before winning the last seven matches.

 

Pins by Taylor Warren and Robin Klingensmith at 152 and 160 sparked the rally, and pins by Rex Shotts and Rhondell Walker at 220 and 285 wrapped up the victory.

 

"We were thinking, 'Let's win it,'" Shotts said of the team's mind-set before the comeback. "That's the one thing our coaches preach -- don't die easily. We definitely didn't."

 

In A/AA, Pigeon Forge defeated Greeneville 43-25 after finishing second each of the last three years.

 

White House, making its first state duals appearance, defeated Chattanooga Central 42-20 in the opening round of consolations before losing to Hixson 53-27. Alcoa defeated East Nashville 53-30 and Eagleville 39-34 in the consolations before falling 45-30 to Hixson for third place.

 

Franklin Road Academy won the first four matches against Battle Ground Academy and went on to a 51-19 victory for the Division II invitational title. FRA defeated Ensworth 43-19 in the semifinals, with BGA advancing with a 36-35 win over St. George's.
