Agreed.  I was a bit suprised that there werent more kids wrestling freestyle and greco last weekend out in Memphis.

 

Look around at the majority of state champs....they almost all wrestle FS/GR in the off season. 

 

We had a good turnout last year and the list of participants was a whos who of high school and middle school wrestling.

This is usually the largest freestyle/Greco tournament of the season and you get to wrestle Folkstyle also. This is also a great opportunity for the K-8th grade AAU kids to try out the new styles without buying the $40 USA card. K-8th only need the regular $14 or $16 AAU card to compete in all 3 styles this weekend only.

We were only doing freestyle/geco. Drove 2hrs to wrestle this tournament. Arrived to find out the tournament director decided to start freestyle instead of folkstyle with "NO" advanced notice. Several kids did not get to wrestle freestyle including mine. I was not impressed. We will be going to ATL next yr.

I had no idea which style was being wrestled first but planned on our guys wrestling all styles anyway. Now if you were told specifically one thing and yet another happened then I can understand your frustration. But let's try and build up freestyle/Greco in this state rather than take away though. My club plans to continue our 2 hour trip to the Chattanooga area 2-3 times each spring to help advance TN freestyle/Greco wrestling. Edited by deadlift

    • That is absolutely not the truth.  Few if any college coaches or school administrators want to be in the middle of legal proceedings if there is any way possible to avoid being caught in the middle.  With that being said I have two questions: 1.  Why would a coach remove any player from the team for using the F WORD?  Yes, I fully understand the player must be held accountable for her actions.  Maybe extra running and even a one game suspension but if every kid or coach that used improper language was kicked on the team or fired, they would have no players or coaches available to play the games. 2.  If there was truly another player or coach that witnessed this situation, and they agree with the player then by all means the coach should be held accountable for their actions.    
    • 1st round exit?        For real ?!?!?!                     Oh wait.....    are we talking band or football?
    • Assistant football staff still the same? Any replacement for Brian Beaubien? Who will be the DC? Will there be anything going on this spring with football? I go watch practice often.
    • Their feeder programs are in the best shape they've ever been.
    • The definition of what happened to the ex-coach is ambiguous. The school said they were going in a different direction and thanked her for her service as coach. Apparently, coaches in Warren County operate on one-year agreements of some type. Rumors are that she was asked to resign, and refused. Whatever happened, it appears that the school system did not renew the one-year agreement with the ex-coach to come back for another season. One and done tenure as coach. Stotts has been a guidance counselor at the high school in Warren County. Several years ago, the former girls coach who is now an AD and assistant principal dismissed Stotts from his staff on the first day of the season. That reality made the hiring of Stotts a mystery to many people in Warren County.
