This is high school wrestling folks. If you want directions to the state office, look on their website. Please don't forget to tell them how they are dropping the ball. Be sure to mention what the kids are entitled to receive and all about the kids who quit. I'm sure they will make it right!

The American way of thinking is, "If it ain't broke don't fix it" where as the Japanese teach that "If it ain't broke fix it til it breaks, then fix it again." Everything is about improvements. If we

Your missing the whole point. The point is that this should be the ultimate experience for our wrestlers. All aspects , tournament location, excitement, pre finals show, and awards. This tournament is taking 10 steps backwards from what they are used to. My nephew won the Aau state last year and he received a huge plaque that held his bracket, a picture and his medal. How can the Aau give out such awards when the Tssaa can't? I bet there are 3x the number of state champs in the Aau with all the age groups than in the tssaa. So how can an organization that is getting the facility for free and charging a fortune at the gate not put more effort into the product. The state finals should be a step up from anything they have experienced, not a let down. I liked the smoke and lights and wrestlers faces but it needed much more organization. They dropped the ballon everything else and it's a moment those kids will never get back.

No, you're missing the point. The reward for all his hard work and wrestling excellence is the championship. It's the memory of winning the semi final match on fri night that got him to the finals...THE Finals. And then winning the last match of the season and getting his hand raised above every other wrestler in his division. That is the reward. The medal couldn't be big enough to capture that. The medal is only a token. It's not the reward. The experience is the reward. Having the best wrestlers in your weight class know that today you were better. That's the reward. Knowing you worked harder, sacrificed more, that's the reward, so please shut up about my son's medal isn't big enough.

      I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
