Just curious....who are the four-time state champs who competed above 138 their entire high school career?

 

Are there any?

That doesn't happen or hasn't happened yet. Most came in as 106 or 113 lbers with the exception of Tj Duncan. Ryan Parker will be the first. It will be rare when someone starts 138-160 and wins 4.

Matt Keller won his first as a freshman at 119 lbs. According to TSSAA records. I believe he beat Corey Brewster in the finals that year at the old MacCellan gym.

Yes Keller was 119,125,130 and 135. Nobody has ever started in the middle above 138. It's even harder now that they did away with a weight in the middle. Although with all the different divisions it will happen I'm soon I'm sure. There are a lot of variables that have to be in place. If it was all together that list would only be a few kids.

Assuming he stays healthy, I think Sammy Evans will do it.

Ok I'll be the one to say it. He may win 4 titles but it'd be in small school division so, to me, and a lot of others, it'd have an asterisk beside it. Now that said, had he been in triple A I think he would be able to do it there. The competition is greatly weaker than in triple or div2.

It would be interesting to introduce a Grand Championship and see if we have another for timer like Francis some 45 years ago.

Interesting point Soms. Martin Francis is, and given the current state of affairs is likely to remain, the only four time champion when both public and private schools wrestled for the traditional title together. Francis was the first in TSSAA history to do so. It was 19 years later, 2001, before Phillip Simpson became the second . If durdon's list is accurate, in the 14 years since 2001, during the split era, 9 wrestlers have done it--- -----six from D-II and three from D-I.

He is in small school, and that makes it a lot easier. This year Nick Boykin won large school and Sammy dominated him all last summer. It would probably be a lot tougher on him this year because of his knee injury, but no matter the division I think Sammy Evans is gonna be a four timer in Tennessee.

Brent Metcalf teched Darrian Caldwell in the preseason all star dual, but what happened at the national finals?

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
