TD2 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Again, who did Pop loose his two matches to? I know he beat Garrett Alexander in the finals of the McCallie tournament (Alexander did not place in D1, not close to being in top 6). Who else did he get beat by? Dooley and Klingingsmith less losses combined. Also, McCallie tournament "The 152-pound bout, with Soddy-Daisy's Gage Richmond rallying to decision Baylor's Blake Sutherland 6-4 in overtime, was voted best match by the coaches. Richmond scored a tying reversal shortly before the third-period whistle, then won with a quick takedown in OT" 145 lb junior Luke Hamilton pinned Gage Richmond in a very lopsided match to win the state. No question D1 head and shoulders over D2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear cat brown Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 sorry no way.. 138 may hang.. but at 160# the d11 champ would not be in the top 6. look at the history and the numbers. Popp is a good wrestler, but he would not be in the to 6 in DI. Garret Alexander did not even place, Cotton did not place....you think Popp could? 2nd place Naughten.... he got pinned three times in the first period by the D1 champ. Popp is a great kid and a good wrestler, but he is no where close to Kingensmith that took second or Alexander that did not place. Wow!!! I think first off its D2.....Or JV Mr. Popp, would not only place but I believe that he would have had a great chance at OW in D1... Nuff said...

No question D1 head and shoulders over D2 Alexander wasn't right the last three weeks of the season but he did make it to one match out of placing. I'd say that's darn near close to placing. No excuses for Garrett, he just didn't appear focused for a long stretch. 160's in D1 are good no doubt but Popp is really good too. I think Luke beat Gage twice badly, tells me the kids pretty good. Another example of y the kids should be in one division. Remove all doubt...to an extent:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No question D1 head and shoulders over D2 http://intermatwrestle.com/rankings/hs/160 He got beat by the #14 and #19 in the country. One in overtime and one by regular decision. Baylor took a road trip to Illinois in January. All that records tell you is the type of competition you wrestle. Popp hasn't lost to anyone from TN since the State Finals in 2012 vs. Baker. There are 2 freshmen who are starting at NC state and Army that he beat last year. If you don't think he'd place/win in D1, you're crazy.

Popp is a great kid and a good wrestler, but he is no where close to Kingensmith that took second or Alexander that did not place. I agree. Popp would have a good run but it would be hard for him to place. Everybody that didn't place at 160 was very close. Seemed like a hard weight class to place in. Just look at who competed. Cotton and Alexander didn't place who both in my mind should have. Just about every match was close in the 160 weight class. Majority of the wins were by decisions with very little majors and pins. Every wrestler in that weight class were hard-nosed competitors that don't want to lose. Sorry Popp. You don't take D1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotNoticed2 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'm sorry but Parker is not touching Solomon. Parker barely scraped by some wins over d1 guys. Think he barely beat Raluston towards beginning of the season. Solomon would beat him any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestlingGod Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Murphy and Connell got a chance? I wish wrestle90 was still around...... Bcb iii Haha she'd be going crazy right now. But she's 100% the reason I didn't want to see Sommers. I mean, he can't remember yesterday let alone the crap he gave me a few years ago at the state tourney, but I wasn't taking the chance. Btw your grandson has a wrestling shoe collection going from a lot of people around the state donating. It'd be cool if his granddaddy donated too, I'll pay u for shipping. Just an old pair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
