Yeah, here is the link to the entries.. http://www.worldofwrestling-roller.com/ewExternalFiles/2015%20Flo%20Eastern%20Worlds%20Entrants.pdf

 

The numbers aren't great but the quality of wrestlers will be unbelievable if they all show. Some weight classes are loaded with multiple NHSCA and 32 quality studs but because the number are so low some weight classes won't have any. Should make for an interesting weekend..

It has been my understanding that a verbal agreement between AAU & USA Wrestling in Tennessee was reached several years ago that said all folkstyle tournaments would be completed by March 31. After the 31st of March it would be Freestyle/Greco Roman.

The problem is the mentality. After 3/31, AAU should completely cease running tournaments. AAU should be for middle school and under only. Let USA Wrestling take over beginning 4/1.

 

Why not follow other models of success? Last weekend was also the Georgia Games in Atlanta. Freestyle and Greco on Saturday. Folkstyle was on Sunday. There were almost 800 entrants. Hosted by none other than USA Wrestling.

It wont change until coaches across TN begin promoting FS/GR to their kids and dissuade them from participating in folkstyle tournaments while FS/GR is in season.

 

I believe that you arent getting better unless you are challenging yourself in new ways.

 

I think that a good 50 match folkstyle season PLUS a 25-30 match FS/GR season produces a more well rounded wrestler than an 80 match folkstyle season....and most kids actually really have fun with FS and GR once they understand the rules and how to score.

I think the real problem is the lack of  willing knowledgeable fs/gr coaches. I know kids who have tried fs/gr clubs for several years and still dont understand the rules or styles

For quite some time the rules were making big changes almost every year. That has slowed some now. But it normally takes a couple of actual tournaments to really get the hang of the rules. But there is no shortage of willing/knowledgable freestyle and Greco coaches in the Clarksville area. Edited by deadlift

    • 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.
