Anyone that understands D2 wrestling has been predicting CBHS would be strong at both the 2017 & 2018 state tournaments for the past several years due to how strong their middle school program was with those kids. Let's not forget that they had a potential state champion move to Nashville where he is now wrestling for MBA and a state champion from last season that has not wrestled this season. How good would they be with those two individuals in the lineup?

Great Middle School program in Memphis for the Brothers!

 

Did the former wrestler from CBHS look at Ryan to continue his wrestling career?

Who are the best HW's ever in Tennessee?  I would put Bubba Miller (Brentwood Academy, University of Tennessee & NFL) and Scott Wells (Brentwood Academy, University of Tennessee & NFL) against anyone in the past 30 years.  Pat Murphy (Hixon) was small but could wrestle with the big guys.

 

On another note is anyone having practice Christmas afternoon or has everyone canceled that  in favor of being politically correct?  I remember how Dan Gable and a handful of Tennessee high schools would practice on Christmas to get an edge on the competition.

SCOTT WELLS … Brentwood Academy … 2x state champ; 1998-99 … ’98 OW … 4x cadet national champion at Fargo; 2x in Greco/Roman and 2x in Freestyle … undefeated two seasons in Tenn.

Wow, that's pretty impressive.  My guess is that was before the split too?????

 

 Before the split you had to place top 4 in your district to qualify for region, then top four in the region to qualify for state, (No double elimination)  There were no "give me's" or bye's  Now,  every year a private school kid places in the "State"  with out winning a match.  

 

Example:   106#  Private school wrestled 2 matches to become state champ, no qualifying tournament. , D1 small- 4 matches to become state champ.  D1 6 matches to become state champ and had to place in top 4 in region to qualify.. .total 9 matches to become state champ

 

113#  D2 - 2 matches to become state champ, no qualifying tournament.  D1 small school, 4 matches to become state champ,  D1 six matches to become state champ and had to qualify as top for in regions...total 9 matches to become state champ. PS:  D2 2 time state champ got pinned by #1, #5  and #8 from D1 during season.

 

Hwy:  D2,  3 matches to become state champ, no qualifying tournament.  D1 small school, 3 matches to become state champ,  D1 six matches to become state champ and had to qualify as top for in regions...total 8 matches to become state champ.   Would not place in combined tournament.

 

This is NOT a slam on D2, I think they would like to see it all back together more than anyone, except maybe McCallie.  These are simply the facts.  Wrestling in D2 gives everyone a medal basically for participation.  75% plus of the overall kids entering the tournament get a medal.  We have become a society of rewarding kids for participation. The beauty of wrestling has always been that it teaches kids to reach higher, life is competitive.  not everyone wins all the time, if you want to win....work harder than your opponent.  

 

Let;s have one tournament with the true champ!

TD2 interesting you bring of D2 giving participation medals out... wasn't this the reason why the split of aa and aaa recently? I mean they just watered D1 even more then before from dual and traditional state... I hope in my life time that they will at least have a d1 vs d2 wrestle each other in a dual to see the outcome every year.. I know it will never happen but wishful thinking lol....

    • 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.
