Region IV-AAA or the Bye Bye Region

The state championship is about finding out who the best is and crowning a champ, not figuring out ways to help more qualify for the tournament.

 

5 dual divisions is ridiculous for TN. The state does not have near enough depth for that but it would allow basically every team in the state to qualify for the championship.

 

Go back to the YMCA, ideas like yours don't belong in high school sports.

 

I agree with rlwest. To suggest a district tournament on top of the region is borderline insanity. Let's step back and think.

 

First off, each team in the region is supposed to wrestle each other. Then there is the qualifier for the state duals. Then there is the state duals. Then there is the region. Then there is the state. Many times the best 2 wrestlers in the weight class are from the same region. If this is the case, then the same 2 kids would wrestle each other not once, not twice, not three times, not 4 times, but FIVE times. Add a district and now we have SIX times.

 

Do you want to bore the fans? Have the same kids wrestle 6 times in 2 months and see how exciting of a state finals match you will have.

are you a product the Hamilton county school system?you might possibly be able to get some money back what they tried to teach you in reading comprehension.

 

now we can discuss without being ugly.

 

several times on this thread I have advocated multiple divisions for state dual meets only. not individual

states.

 

would you have a problem with the reunification of done and d two?

You continue to display your ignorance and hypocrisy.

 

Use some of that superior west Tn reading comp skills and browse back over my post, slow down and pay special attention to where I specifically mention 5 DUAL divisions. You know, the ones you've been advocating?

 

Not being ugly, just stating that type of thinking needs to stay at the Y where it belongs. I guess you were one of the first at school to not be left behind.

NG that's not the way it works.

 

you wouldn't make region 4 a district.you could but then it would happen scenario you have stated.

 

normally the power is separated in two or three or four districts then those districts come together and form your regional from the regional you go state taking the top four every time.

 

Its a fantastic set up.

My response didn't post for some reason.

 

West, my point is that the Duals is where divisions belong.  Not the Individual.  My understanding has long been that the increase in divisions is to grow interest in wrestling.  By adding another division, I cant see how that might persuade many if any additional kids onto a wrestling mat.

 

Duals is more team oriented like football or basketball.  You know, those sports that you "play."  If a football team wins a state title no matter the division, the entire team may boast the status of State Champion.  They may not have played a down, but they were part of the team and duly noted as state champ.  It allows 70-80 kids to lay claim to that and tell their grandchildren.

 

I have no problem with that in wrestling.  I think the Duals is the place to emphasize growing the sport.  By growing there it can only extend to the Individuals, but, like other team sports, if you have 50-70 on your wrestling team (AAA) or 20-30 on your wrestling team (A, AA, etc) you have the opportunity to be a state champ as in other team sports.

 

Five divisions of say, schools under 500 (A) students, 501-800 (AA), 801-1200 (AAA). 1201-1500 (AAAA) 1501+ (AAAAA).

 

A school could always wrestle up.

 

Then  in two weeks, 3rd weekend in February, we all come together and wrestle in the Individual States.

    • You haven seen much football if the Blackman vs Bowling Green game u speak of is the worst officiated game you have ever seen.  Everyone on here swears Blackman was cheated, but i just can not agree.  Rewatched it on youtube, and there are a couple Blackman fans near the camera that out to be ashamed of the crap that came out of there mouths.  I dont know much about Blackman, but i didnt get a very good impression of them having much class by there entrance to the field, and instead of running on to there sideline running to the other teams sideline to cut them off when they went to run to there sideline.  Then before much is even happened in the game fans near the camera swearing they are being cheated.  Seemed like a fairly good called game till Blackman started losing there composure.  Embarassing hearing the blacmn fans making fun of someone on the other team possibly getting hurt, and calling players on the other team a dumbass.  The reason they lost thatgame was because they gave that necarious fant kid a 5 yard cushion over, and over, and over, and everytime he would catch it and get another 7 after the catch.  3rd or 4th and 1 lets give the best player on the other team a 5 yard cusion, and let him catch it when we need a stop even though he has gotten 12 yards on that play repeatedly.  Then the last touchdown on 4th down was a completly different play, but great throw, and great route and catch by fant for the last td they did not defend it very well, and it would have been a blackman win if they make that 4th, and long stop, but they didnt cover the best player on the field very well, and he caught it with the closest player 3 yards away from him.  Just give Bowling Green credit for making the plays to win.  We look stupid constantly saying they got cheated.  They straight up got beat, but no shame,bowling Green had a heck of a team.  People just dont want to give any credit to the other team when they are beat especially when its out of state.  Ive talked alot of crap to fans of kentucky teams, but we get ridicilous too often on here.  I remember the Union City fans saying how they would run it down the other teams throat playing a kentucky team.  They claimed we will run it up the middle all night, and those early 3 yard gains will turn into 12 yard gains by the 4th quarter cause thats how we always wear other teams down, and always win.  They proceded to get there #### whooped 2 years in a row then dropped that team from there schedule, and i have to give those kentucky fans credit they called it before the first year they played.  They said we will beat Union City these 2 years, and they will not renew because Union City has done this in the past before.  Went to one of those games, and the other team ran defensive lineman in every few plays, and by the 4th quarter it was union city that was wore out, and there rushing game failed late.  Instead of giving the other team credit for stopping there run game late they cried that we was gassed after bragging that we always gas the other team out by the 4th they couldnt handle that another team smartly threw fresh bodies in most of the night, and kept there starters much fresher for late in the game.  They basically put backups in on half the plays, and settled with giving up alot of yards to keep the 1s fresh for the 4th.  Instead of giving them credit the excuses came well we where gassed if we would have played later in the season we would have won its hot, and early in the year, so thats why we lost its all just excuses.  It aint like there is a rule that says UC couldnt rotate some in on there oline, and rotate a couple running backs so there starters would b fresh for the end.  They got beat because the other team smartly used depth, plus they couldnt stop the other teams offense.  We cant give credit to the other team when we lose we must find an excuse mentality espececially if its an out of state team there is no way anyone from another state in paticular kentucky can be as good or better than us.  After just watching that Blackman game they just straight up got beat.
    • What’s sad Barney is the cards in the deck are stacked against them.  With the success the MAVS are having just down I-75, any talented players are heading that way. I always said what the Price twins did there was second to none, making the playoffs and winning a playoff game is the ceiling there. On a great year, maybe a q-final appearance but that is a big stretch.  Finding a coach there is very tough. I feel for the new coach, he’s in a very bad situation and I’m not sure he even realizes it. I understand he wants to be positive and have hope, but I don’t see them scratching a win. Maybe he will prove me wrong.  
    • I agree, 2A is the only class in thet state where the west side of the bracket is tougher, not taking anything away from Marion county at all but they should run that side for years to come
    • Should be a big week in Dayton coming up with the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial.
    • AE has a lot of new transfers and a very good incoming freshman class to mess with the current players.  That's why I'm saying don't sleep on AE.  Many are thinking they can't get back to their winning ways but I think this 2025 team will open a lot of eyes and let the state know, AE won't be an easy win anymore.
