No mention of team scores?  

 

Baylor 9th place (Top 10 for the 2nd staight year) 

Father Ryan - 19th

McCallie- 20th 

Christian Bros- 100th 

 

Congrats to Baylor for representing the state of TN so well when they go out of state.  Hopefully, if TN can get another team in the top 10 every year we can earn another qualifying spot. It is evident based on the results that more than just our state champ can compete.

Congratulations are definitely in order for Baylor. Wish Father Ryan had brought more kids down, between King and the two Simpsons I think TN could easily have had two Top 10s.

 

A note about three wrestlers: it was especially satisfying to see Powell wrestle all the way back from a first round loss to snag 5th; that's all heart (and probably some technique). Duhm ended his fantastic season on a high note, and 12th seed River Henry (4th) has to enter next year as the HWT favorite.

You are aware that TN is allowed to enter more than state champs into the tournament right. Off of the top of my head I can think of two wrestlers we sent this year who were not state champions... one was not even a finalist (and he was a placer at national preps so good indication of the depth in that weight in TN).

No, I am not aware of that.  Are you sure that is the rule? I am aware that TN entered more than one in a couple weights. I mentioned in my post that is was evident that more than just our champ can compete. It is my understanding that TN only has 1 qualifier.  I was told the extra guys received at-large bids.  I do not know the details of how that works. 

 

I suspect that the prep committee will reward TN with another automatic spot if we are able to get more kids on the podium and more teams in the top 10.

    • Hmmmmm……doe dee doe doe….i drove the lawnmower down to practice today…….hmmmm…… we got some new faces………. One can run faster than my lawnmower in fifth gear…… a few will be disappointed come November that they jumped ship and went down to that sewage facility……. You can bet the lawnmower on that. 
    • I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.
    • Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think. 
    • “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker. 
    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
