Two old friends meet again to see which team will wrestle for 3rd and 4th. Great Job for Tennessee High and Science Hill both teams are top 6 teams in the state.

I have to say the mutual respect and relationships between parents coaches and some of the kids in this matchup make it bittersweet.  No team in the region we would rather share the stage with from this parents perspective I assure you!  Best of luck Region 1!

Great Job to both Tennessee High and Science Hill. Two teams in the top 6 is a really good showing for Region 1.  Tennessee High did an excellent job with a smaller team and all the holes in the lineup this year finding a way to finish above most peoples expectations.  Science Hill what a great job with a young team, looks good for the future for the Hill.  Both of these teams help the rest of us in Region 1 to be better prepared individually for States and provide the blueprint on how to be successful in the state of Tennessee.  Great Job again to all Coaches and Kids on these two teams.

Amazing and gratifying for these two teams is probably not stated well enough!  These two teams had serious challenges compared to the field one in age and the other with holes in the lineup.  It is fair two say the competitive streak these two bring out in each other has helped lead to this outstanding result.  Iron sharpening iron!  Yep they are both ready to be among the top teams in the state, keep building guys! proud of both teams!

I agree 100% both teams did great. I believe this should show everyone Region 1 can be real contenders for years to come.

Don't forget that a very tough young Greeneville team also took 4th in A/AA while Alcoa and Pigeon Forge took 3rd and 2nd place respectably from Region 1 A/AA while I know Pigeon Forge and Alcoa wouldn't be Region 1 in Big School it does speak volumes to the marked improvement of teams from Knoxville going East into the Tri Cities. Gibbs was also a contender for Big School making it to the same round as Science Hill. This is a stark contrast of where wrestling was 10 years ago in TN and while the Bradley's, Soddy's, Wilson Central's and Cleveland's of the state are still the mark of the best in public school I believe we are seeing the gap close. I can't help but think what we are seeing at the middle schools of most of the Knoxville and Tri Cities Schools has something to do with that.

You are correct, the gap is closing. Congrats to Greeneville. Coach Shelton has done a good job up there. The gap will never fully close until a couple of things happen. One is have a sucessful college team in the area. King is not cutting it compared to UTC. It also helps a former Cleveland coach is at UTC. The other is more support in the community as a whole for wrestling. There seems to be flawed logic that a comminity can be around one sport per season, but that is not the case. SHHS and Tennessee High have support from the school systems to some degree as well as the student body. I know that may not be the only schools getting support, but those are the ones I know about. It is more than the coaches, wrestlers, and parents. Wrestling is a sport that is growing, but it can grow a lot more IF people are behind the sport. Since the support is not there, the Tri-Cities area may want to consider doing open gym twice a week taking turns where they are located and COACHES, WRESTLERS, PARENTS get more involved.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
