Coach Woods,

 

I'm not sure if you are aware but that is the same date as TN Freestyle/Greco state that will also take place in middle TN.

Is this tournament still going on or is the date changed?

Why host a tournament the exact same date as the TN State Tournament? Why not the week before, or the week after? Or any other week for that matter.

[mrwrestling]

This is the second time I have moved this tournament out of consideration of other tournaments. This is just a last ditch effort to get my guys and others some mat time. No disrespect meant on my part.

[CoachKramer]

If you have ever worked in a high school you have no idea how hard it can be to get the gym for an event let alone keep switching it.  Our gym dates for next year are already being reserved by sports, clubs and other groups in the school and the community. Im sure Coach Woods has tried his best and if he says he means no disrespect I believe him. im sure this is also one of Coach woods fundraisers for the upcoming season and more than likely like many High Schools does not get a budget from the school itself so every penny counts

     Also not every wrestler in the state wrestles freestyle and Greco, so this gives those an opportunity to compete.  Im sure if a wrestler wrestles freestyle and greco he is not going to miss the state meet for harpeth. I do not believe this tournament will draw kids away from the state meet.  im sure a wrestler who wrestles freestyle would rather say he was a state champ than the harpeth champ.

in the future i would like to see more kids doing freestyle and greco and see it grow. Hopefully next year there wont be any scheduling conflicts.

The agreement with TSSAA and TWF years ago was that no Folkstyle wrestling would be conducted after the State Tournament. Only Freestyle and Greco would be held for HS athletes.

[CoachKramer]

Harpeth is not an AAU event and AAU has absolutely no say if he can run a tournament

[CoachKramer]

Its also not a tssaa event

[Newestguy]

How are the kids insured?

[CoachKramer]

I think its a nhsca event
