What was the final. Didnt make it down

Father Ryan won & forfeited the final 3 matches. The officials lost total control of the match and were in way over their heads from the very beginning. Not biased but just very bad and should not be allowed to officiate a region much less the state duals. The TSSAA should be ashamed of themselves for putting such bad officials on the mat.

Father Ryan, Wilson Central still alive at state duals

Wilson Central's Alex Pergande gets ahold of Tennessee High School's Trent Nelson during the 113- pound match of their Class AAA duals quarterfinals.

 

FRANKLIN — Two teams that have consistently finished runner-up recently at the TSSAA State Wrestling Duals are still alive with hopes of bettering their results.

 

Father Ryan and Wilson Central are the only two Midstate teams still in the championship portion of the duals, held at the Williamson County Agriculture Center.

 

Father Ryan will face Baylor in the Division II finals at 7 p.m. Saturday, while Wilson Central will take on Soddy-Daisy in the Class AAA semifinals at 1 p.m. Saturday. Bradley County and Science Hill will face off in the other AAA semifinal.

 

The finals are familiar territory for both teams. Father Ryan, which has won seven state duals titles, has lost in the championship match four years in a row, while Wilson Central has fallen to Cleveland in the last three AAA finals.

“We haven’t won this tournament in six years, and we’ve been in the finals about every year,†said Father Ryan coach Pat Simpson. “We’re trying to reverse that. It’s going to take our best effort. It’ll be a great match like it always is†when Father Ryan and Baylor face off, he added.

Wilson Central coach John Kramer’s team is facing a similar obstacle in the path to the finals.

 

“We’re going to have to wrestle with a lot of heart,†he said.

 

Beech just missed punching its ticket to the AAA semis when the Buccaneers fell to Science Hill on a tiebreaker. A decision by heavyweight David Dowell and a pin by 106-pounder Brayden Palmer pulled Beech into a 33-33 tie, but the victory went to Science Hill because they had four pins to Beech’s three.

 

“You’ve just got to forget it,†said Beech coach Jeff Roberts.

 

The other five Midstate teams in the AAA tournament — Blackman, Centennial, Independence, Siegel and Stone Memorial — all lost in the first round.

 

Science Hill beat Blackman 39-33, Centennial fell to Gibbs 44-15, Independence fell to Soddy Daisy 41-34, siegel lost to Arlington 42-30 and Stone Memorial fell to Tennessee High 43-34.

Wilson Central opened the tournament with a 48-25 victory over Knoxville Halls. The Wildcats scored pins by Cullen Belcher (126), Nicholas King (132), Niko Noga (145), Zach Linton (170) and Isaac Hodge (220).

 

In the quarterfinals, Wilson Central raced to a 12-0 lead after three matches against Tennessee High. The Vikings rallied to take a 15-12 lead, but Wilson Central won the next four matches, beginning with a pin by Noga at 160 pounds, to take a 34-15 lead.

 

“Our lightweights stepped up and did a good job for us,†said Kramer. “Zach Linton bumped up to 182 and won a major decision. He did a good job.â€

 

“We were worried for a minute because we had everybody bumped up," added King. "But about 160 I knew we were OK. We want to get back to the finals."

 

To do that, the Wildcats will have to beat Soddy-Daisy in the semifinals for the second year in a row.

 

“Everybody has to wrestle well,†King said.

 

In the Division II tournament, Father Ryan opened with a 60-21 victory over Franklin Road Academy. The Irish won first eight matches with seven pins and a forfeit to take 48-0 lead and punch their ticket to a semifinal matchup with McCallie.

 

Again Ryan took a commanding lead early to secure the 38-33 win. “It’s always advance, that’s the bottom line,†Simpson said.

 

“We’ve lost in the finals every year I’ve been here,†said Trey Chalifoux, Father Ryan's senior 120-pounder and a defending state champion. “We have to stay focused. We just need to get it done this year.â€

Christian Brothers toppled Montgomery Bell Academy 32-21 in the first round.

Defending A-AA state champ Pigeon Forge sent Page to the consolation bracket with a 58-12 victory in the quarterfinals.

In the first round, Page topped Greenbrier 45-30 in the matchup of the only Midstate teams in the A-AA bracket.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      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.
