State Tournament Day 2

[Bump11]

It's been a great day of wrestling so far. Bradley has full control over 1st place and it doesn't look like anyone will catch them. However the battle for 2nd is very tight with 2nd place Tennessee (77) holding a 5 point lead over Arlington (72), while only 25 points separate 2nd place Tennessee from 13th place Bartlett. It will be a tight tight race to the finish for 2nd, as well as the top 5, and even top 10. With semifinal bouts set to take place at 6:00, here's the line up for tonight with my picks to win.

An observation or two...

 

LaCoe was clearly an example of what goes on in the wrestling room.

 

The Rippy's are a great wrestling family.

 

Great McMahan - "Matthew" Sells match!

 

Linton is a Ravenous Beast.

 

The always steady Tyler Barber and another beast Bagley makes the finals Ali that more interesting.

 

Nick Boykin's greatest challenge was in the quarters. Amazing Frosh there in Kramer... Bruno, Evans, Boykin and in the year or two - who knows... Cael coming down for state??

 

The Knoxville Metro area is blossoming all over, as is a few upper East Tn teams.

 

Bradley looking back to form! Congrats Mr Smith & Co!!

 

Side note: Lots of talent on those AA teams, love to see ALL the boys compete, but separate team points by division...

 

PF, Alcoa, Red Bank, Hixson, and Greenville could have several bracket busters... Would be a great Bradley, Baylor and Ryan show, no reason for order 'cept Ryan's presence could be felt

This is great showing that there is quality throughout the state and not only in a couple of regions, state is getting back to what it use to be before the split.
