He also beat Blake Henry 8-4 last year at dixie duals sommers

The young man is special. Doesn't get out of position...never. Strong upper body and great hips, cuts the corner quick. Blaike had his cradle hooked up in about 30 seconds and couldn't turn him. Not once but twice. Blaike also pinned in the 2nd period the same kid from Texas that beat Soloman,..... since you brought it up. I've liked him since I saw him as a freshman. Seems to have great character as well. West and Soloman are or can be as good as any upper weight we've had in the state before, with both wrestling the same styles.

106 Haney (WV) vs Hernandez (HER) in the semi's McElhaney (BC) vs Carter (COR) in the 2nd round I'm guessing these 2 matches will determine your finalists.   I'm picking at least one of our count

Tornado I wasn't stirring the pot or trying to atleast. I was just state g what happened. I don't think sommers understands how good he is...

I told college coaches last year how good I thought Chad was going to be. Don't under estimate Soms. He may act like a dingbat sometimes but he knows wrestling. Our whole state should know Chad's the real deal.

Hey now! I saw where "no one can touch him in Tn" I just asked about Parker, which I know about their off season workouts. I agree on d1 - 170-220 imo. How's that?

 

Since the beginning of (Tn grappling) time, McTorry & Jonathan Smith could hold their own. Mike Blosser was 185-190 off season, dropped to 160 and beat McCallie's 185-HW state champ 11-1 and pinned district, region and state except a 18-0 superior Dec.

 

Today, Solomon is top dog! Imo

I watched Chad work Parker in 8th grade

When was this? I love both these kids and have been fortunate enough to have them on several state teams over the years but I think you are discrediting Parker a tad bit here. They are both studs in their own right. The only official match I remember them wrestling was when Chad was in 8th grade and Ryan was in the 7th at the McCallie Tornado duals and Ryan won. About a month later we were at the Dixie Duals and Chad hadn't had very many tough matches so I had them wrestle an exhibition and Chad won that one. I don't remember all the details but I do remember Parker had been wrestling all day and I made him wrestle an exhibition because they both needed it. I also had them in the practice room together before we went to Iowa for the national duals and it was a war when they wrestled. Neither one dominated the other from what I remember. This was obviously several years ago and Chad has continued to get better and has wrestled and done well in some big tournaments . Parker also has wrestled tremendous practice partners every day and was a match away of placing in the powerade last year as a freshman. He has also wrestled 2 top 5 teams and several more top 20 teams this year. It would be a great match I would love to see but I think it would be 2 pt match either way.

      West TN Head coach jobs

      By sportslover88 · Posted

      20 but had 5-6 not dressed every game. It went down towards the end due to injuries and obviously only 15 got to dress for the state tournament. Then, they only lost 2 from this year and gain 8 from the middle school for next year

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      By oridgecat · Posted

      As somebody mentioned before, this is going to result in a massive lawsuit, can you imagine professional "educators" actually having the conversation about getting "the bad kids" out of the high school?  And the head coach asking directly to change grades, gets turned down, comes back again and gets it approved?  This is unbelievable.  In addition to the lawsuit, the state Department of Education is going to come down extremely hard on this.  WYSH is on the war path.  There could be dozens more lose their jobs by the time this is over.  And yeah the real shame is the kids being affected that literally had nothing to do with this and actually worked hard to earn their grades.

      I've heard Powell from someone who talked to him. I saw the kid two days ago and I should of pulled over and talked with him and wished him well where ever he goes. It will be a ale of a loss for us because I don't believe we have anyone in the stable good as him from what I seen in the spring.

      Clinton grade changing scandal

      I would have to think that the firing of the 2 teachers is just the beginning of future moves.  If not, it is woefully short.  If the AC school board thinks that the damage is just limited to Clinton, they are sadly mistaken.  Any outsider would view the whole school system as suspect, and rightly so.

      Yeah. AC brass walked in to the building at Clinton and suggested that the principal start changing grades.  Honesty, the notion that anybody at AC was involved is just idiocy.  The ones who are hurt most are the kids who weren't involved in the cheating, but still are being penalized by college admission decisions and scholarship consideration simply because they went to a school that was involved in such a scandal.
