Since when is it be ok for two coaches in the same district to decide by a coin flip rather then wrestling each other, the winner of said coin flip getting to choose who they would wrestle in the regional duals?  BTW, both teams that decided not to wrestle for a district champion received an extra pound the next day for the region tournament.

I guess they wanted to focus on the bigger prize.

What message is being sent to the young men?

 

I don' know, prioritize maybe ?

 

Maybe they wanted time heal, rest, who knows.

 

I blame the weight cert and descend plan for a lot of this type stuff, guy misses weight or intentionally bumps up a class and it screws him up for the next date.

To the casual wrestling fan a dual match between two teams is excellent.  They only take 1.5-2.0 hours and it's fun to watch two teams compete.  Studies show that one of the major issues with wrestling is schools wrestling more tournaments than dual matches.  IMO, all schools in each region should be required to wrestle each other in a dual match and those results would count as to what teams go to the state duals.

I was merely trying to point out that one district went to combat and won their district outright, while the other decided their outcome by a coin toss. The effected team was the won who won their district by combat. The other just happened to favor the weakest team in their district. Coincidentally they got to advance because they faced the weakest team in the team that won districts fairly. My question is this fair play? No other sport I know of decides playoffs this way.

If you're talking bout Bradley and Soddy, which I think you are. This district has been doing this for years. Last year they did actually have a region championship game due to te cause neither Bradley or Cleveland didn't really wanna be on Wilson Central side of the bracket and which this case, Cleveland was smart by doing those cause Wilson Central did beat us in the semi finals to go on to wrestle in the finals against Cleveland.

But to answer your question, they're no answers why this district doesn't wrestle for the dual. It has always been this way for the most part

I am sure you are speaking of Region II. Gibbs and Halls were snowed out of our district match. We agreed to flip a coin to decide who would be the one seed and who would be the two. I am really not sure what this is about considering Halls defeated HVA 56-12 and Bearden 47-21 in the regular season. Halls and Gibbs both beat the two top teams in district 4. How can you honestly say this was unfair?

Things have changed since that first meeting between Halls and HVA. Point is Halls should have wrestled Gibbs to determine a district champion.  If that would have happened a different result would have happened.  This happen during a season... Injuries, discipline and wrestlers get better.  Wrestlers wrestle off often because things happen during a season.  A coin flip is a cowards way of getting out of what wrestling is all about.

You will have another shot at us at the individual region tournament. I am glad that your team is much improved. We welcome the competition. It makes our region stronger and more competitive. Not sure about the coward comment. We have always wrestled as much tough competition as possible. This conversation is over. I need to prepare my kids for the state duals. If you would like to further discuss this, give me a call.

    • 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.
